London Relocation Clients Share Their Testimonials on Film!

Monday March 21st, 2011

Author: Colleen

Moving to London is a tricky undertaking, and you’ll find that for many aspects of it, seeing is believing. This is especially the case where London apartment rentals are concerned, as you’d be ill-advised to rent a London apartment solely through the internet—online property scams are rampant, and London flats can look a lot crappier in person than through the wonders of photography.

Likewise, it can be difficult to know what you’re getting into as you research London relocation agents and/or lettings agencies. You need to ensure that they’re the real deal and truly have your best interests in mind. You need to have your expectations established realistically as to what the London flat search will entail and the people that will help you do it.

That’s why London Relocation Ltd. is adamant about making ourselves as accessible to you as possible. We want you to know who we are, what our process is, and why we’re the best property-search solution for you. There should be no question marks about what our agency can do for you versus tackling the London property market on your own.

That’s why we’re upfront about our service on our website and offer so many ways to interact with you through our social networking efforts in addition to responding to your call or internet enquiry via our web-form.

That’s why we make our promise and guarantee to find your London flat so clear on our site.

That’s why we constantly update our client testimonials on our site as well, so you can hear it from their mouths, not just ours.

That’s why we show you how our process works through our video presentation on our website as well as YouTube.

And that’s why we’re proud to now also show you some of our client testimonials on video! Seeing is believing, so see their faces, hear their experiences, and believe that our promise to find you your ideal London apartment in the timeliest of manners is true:

Living in London on a Budget: Nectar of the Gods

Wednesday March 16th, 2011

Living in London on a budget.

Author: Colleen

If you’re moving to London, you’re probably already concerned about the cost of living. I don’t think anyone is oblivious to the fact that London is an expensive city to live in, particularly where renting London apartments is concerned, so you want to pinch your pence where you can.

There are assorted means of obtaining great discounts on food and recreation (we have a good list running on our London Living site under “Resources“), and the one I’d like to feature today is the Nectar card. With Nectar (www.nectar.com), you can accrue points just by spending on the everyday sorts of things you’d have to be buying anyway and then redeem them for other necessities or indulgences!

You can pick up your card on site at a Sainsbury’s, BP, or Homebase store in London, or order one online. You may then register your card online and start reaping its benefits. The website will show you where in London or UK at large you can accumulate/use points, offering a variety of categories like food and beverage, home and garden, entertainment, health and fitness, and even travel (companies like BP, Expedia.com, and Hertz participate).

Just like London Relocation is proud to share its client testimonials to reinforce the value of our services, Nectar’s website provides them from its users as well, along with tips on how to use your points effectively.

Your London move is going to introduce you to so many fantastic experiences, so if you’re relocating to London on a budget, maximize the extent to which you can enjoy the city’s delights by spending smartly and actually saving money by shopping!

Commuting in London: This Week’s Boob Tube

Tuesday September 7th, 2010

Author: Colleen

If you haven’t yet made the move to London, it’s just as well—you wouldn’t have been able to move around in it very easily this week. Rail workers on strike have caused major disruptions to the Underground services, with apparently no more than 40% of trains running as of this evening. It’s anticipated tomorrow may bring commuters some relief…I bet the Barclays Cycle Hire Scheme bikes were in scarce supply this morning! My husband decided to just run the 7 miles into work, so the mystery remains as to how he might journey back. I must say, it certainly improved my bus service . According to the Daily Mail:

“Contingency plans have been put in place for dealing with the strikes, with 100 extra buses, escorted bike rides, marshalled taxi ranks, and capacity for 10,000 more journeys on the River Thames.

Volunteers were positioned at Tube, bus and rail stations to help people with their journeys and provide maps and other information.”

Well, at least it was a pleasant enough day weather-wise for people to get creative with their transport. I shouldn’t joke, am sure it’s been nightmarish for many. I say, folks, if it’s not up and running as hoped tomorrow morning – SICK DAY! That scratch in your throat has been getting worse, right? Hm, you do feel a bit warm.

Perhaps by the time you relocate to London this initiative will have already been installed for your convenience:

“The new scheme, first considered by Johnson’s mayoral predecessor, Ken Livingstone, may eventually involve the closure of the whole Zone 1 – 4 London Underground tube network. Quite simply, the rails will be made safe, be boarded over, and the tens of thousands of commuters who live in the Zones will be able to walk to work.”

That’s the latest newsflash from Here is the City, anyway…(yes, they’re kidding. You don’t read The Onion much, do you?)

Well, I can tell one form of London transportation that was trustworthy today—London Relocation Ltd.‘s hired car! That’s right, as everyone was making the difficult pilgrimage in and out of the office today, our clients were zipping through the neighborhoods with our relocation agent to meet-n-greet various London lettings agents and find their ideal London flat. It’s always business per usual with us, and because these pain-in-the-arse Tube strikes do not occur with frequency, we still aim to situate you in a flat that is close to public transportation. Safe travels!
