Ashore Relocation have provided me and my family with outstanding service over 18 months. Initially Vicky identified rental accommodation for our relocation from South Africa to Jersey. Subsequently she has provided invaluable assistance and advice on identifying a property to purchase. Her assistance included everything: identifying a range of suitable houses; organizing viewings across a concentrated couple of days (this included driving me from one viewing to the next); assisting in negotiations and the purchase process and finally organizing and implementing the removal process. The whole purchase our new home took less than 3 months from initial viewings to moving in. Vicky made the whole buying and moving process absolutely painless. And if there’s anything you want to know about living on Jersey, Vicky is certain to know the answer.

– Mark Learmonth, CFO Caledonia Mining

Vicky did a great job of understanding our needs before we arrived on the Island. As a result, she had already identified a number of properties suitable for us to view which was an efficient and effective use of the limited time we had available. We were particularly pleased that some more “offbeat” properties had been included which gave us a good benchmark. Also impressive was the use of the Google Map highlighting key places and facilities near each home and we are still using this some six months later. We found exactly what we were looking for on the first day of viewings.

Vicky provided an exceptional level of help on finding, locating, showing us the house and then sorting out all the paperwork and dealing with the agents. She was extremely helpful with furnishing and arranging for deliveries and sorting out all the minor things that are impossible to deal with long-distance and are quite time consuming. She was available at all times and made settling in for the family (especially for spouse) very smooth and easy.

– Anoush & Nick

We were very happy with all the help that you provided. You have really gone the extra mile in introducing Mia to people around the Island in similar circumstances and it has helped to make her feel much more settled and welcome. Having you on hand to provide a local view on the rental market and on the norms of Jersey rental contracts put us into a much stronger negotiating position and saved us money

– Dan and Mia, BlueCrest

Vicky, I can’t think how much harder it would have been without you. Getting a house sorted would have been really hard – you really helped us make the best choice, and helped with getting the deal done – not easy I remember. My objective was to recreate life as similar to life in Kent as soon as possible for Louisa – so help with ballet classes, where to get things, where to play was great and she really has taken it in her stride and is doing so well at St George’s and making lovely friends. For me parking systems, doctors, social security, car registration etc. how to get that all done was really useful. So, thanks so much!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your help in showing me around Jersey. Your impartial local information and help with schools and houses…… and taking me to schools when I came over for my interview. I appreciate you going above and beyond the call of duty.

We have overall been really impressed with the service that we received from Vicky. She helped us to find a home, not only finding the right place for us but then also acting as the agent between us and the landlord. She showed us a number of places that all had something great to offer and really fit with our brief. The place we are now living in was not yet on the market and Vicky was able to show it to us and start the process before any agents were needed. She clearly listened to our brief and didn’t waste our time by showing us places that were not in keeping with what we were looking for. Her support did not stop there as she helped us to settle in with advice on how to register in Jersey for tax, social security, doctors, dentists, car registration, dog registration, vets and tips on places to shop, eat and recycle. It is a really thorough service that we have relied upon.

Vicky has assisted us very successfully in meeting the needs of international staff relocating to KPMG in Jersey. Vicky is very proactive in searching for accommodation and on all occasions has secured suitable accommodation in good time meaning that staff have been able to settle in their permanent accommodation sometimes on arrival, removing the need for temporary accommodation and the associated disruption this can bring. Vicky’s wealth of experience means that she considers every need of our employees and their families. She has been instrumental in supporting the whole family during the relocation process including identifying schools, nurseries and considering spouse support. Vicky also assists us with meeting prospective staff travelling to Jersey for interviews and providing an overview of the island and some insight into island living. We find Vicky’s services very flexible in meeting the varying needs of our business and those of our recruits. Our staff that use Vicky’s services continue to be very complimentary.

– Melissa Chester, Head of People, KPMG

Thanks, Vicky, you made the move feel like a friend was helping us, you never made it feel like it was your job.

– Rob Wells, UBS

You gave me useful initial points of reference and helped me to see all the positive aspects of living here after the stress of the move. You gave a very good overview of properties and shortlisted a really good selection for us that saved time, which certainly helped us. Prompt answers to questions and very good follow up. Thank you very much Vicky.

– C. M.

We didn’t know the island at all and the time we spent with you driving us around was extremely valuable. You gave us beneficial detail on schools and nurseries and arranged for us to see two houses with stables. You are very knowledgeable in answering all our questions. We only had 24 hours on the island and you gave us a full impression of what it would be like to live in Jersey. Thank you very much, Vicky, a very useful service.

– J. L.

Just wanted to say thank you for making our Jersey experience so much easier and pleasant. You were like a ray of sunshine waltzing into our lives.

– Louise Molteno, Standard Bank

I don’t think I would have believed what I needed to relocate to Jersey. Ashore helped us define what we would need when we moved and settle us in to life in Jersey much more quickly and smoothly than we would have otherwise done. Not only did they find us a great home, they helped set up horse riding for my daughter and where to buy the best bed linen. I absolutely recommend their personalized service.
