Departure Services

Ensuring a smooth transition

We recognise that the process of closing down a property – whether for repatriation, reassignment, or as part of a local move - can be every bit as stressful for the assignee and family as their arrival in the UK, unless it is managed properly.

Our Departure Services programme has been designed to guide the assignee and family through the process of handing back their rental property and completing the myriad of administrative tasks that are required, smoothly and efficiently.

Handing a property back to the landlord at the end of the tenancy can be complicated in the UK, and even seasoned expatriates will benefit from expert advice to ensure the correct steps are taken in a timely fashion. Our specialists will ensure that the assignee is fully aware of their obligations under the terms of the lease to minimise any deductions from the security deposit or unnecessary charges.

While the smooth handing back of the rental property, and then following through with the letting agent or landlord to negotiate the return of the security deposit is important, our specialists are also on hand to provide assistance and guidance with completing administrative tasks such as forwarding or cancelling mail, closing bank accounts and utilities accounts and cancelling insurances.

While our services are tailored to the needs of each assignee, key elements of the Departure Service may include:

• Serving notice to the letting agent or landlord
• Providing guidance on works required prior to the property check out
• Attend the check out to represent the assignee
• Meter readings, cancellation of utilities
• Closing bank accounts, cancelling mobile phones, insurances, etc.
• Security deposit negotiations and settlement
