We place great importance on enabling the client to remain in control of their move.

Every client is different – we work at their pace and tackle the issues important to them. We place great importance on enabling the person moving home to remain in control of their move and the decisions made. Once we have an understanding of the client’s needs we will develop a bespoke plan of support to make the move happen.

Working with a Senior Move Manager can make a moving later in life a more positive experience.

Preparing the existing home for the move

We can offer support with:

  • Making arrangements for the marketing and sale or letting of the current property 
  • Staging the current property including cleaning, decoration and repairs to help the customer obtain the best possible price 
  • Preparing inventories of all belongings detailing their destination point (auction, new home, family etc)
  • Floor planning – producing detailed plans showing the client’s furniture to help them visualise what will fit in the new home (ensuring a safe living environment) 
  • Arranging for treasured possessions to be passed to family members
  • Helping sort and downsize belongings – we can help with the all aspects of the house, shed, gardens, garage etc. We work one to one at the client’s pace or organise help if items are large and heavy 
  • Arranging for the sale, donation, disposal or recycling of possessions and furniture no longer required
  • Liaison with familiy members, solicitors, estate agents, retirement developer/ care staff as required

To prepare the new home

We can help with:

  • Finding the right new home through our confidential home search services
  • Supporting clients to purchase new furniture – acting as a shopping escort and arrange for deliveries
  • Arrange for curtains, blinds and artwork to be fitted and assembly of any new furniture items 
  • Arranging for new curtains to be made, organising suppliers to carry out any other tasks that may be required to make the new home ‘their home’ – for example, putting up shelves, fitting book cases. 

Settling into the new home

Our Senior Move Managers can:

  • Unpack and set up the new home – specialist unpacking throughout as required considering the client’s preferences and needs
  • Carry out memory placement tasks in the new home – helping recreate room layouts, displays, storage etc. 
  • Help orientate to the new area – for example locating social opportunities 
  • Deal with change of address notifications to friends, utilities, pensions, the council, GP, hospitals, dentists and provide support to change energy suppliers to take advantage of the best rates
