A Rental case study in Bingham Street, Islington
Case study background and context
After spending the last decade in Hong Kong, a British couple found themselves in the process of relocating. Their employer, a renowned bank, had provided them with a relocation company that lacked dedication and flexibility. They were given just one day to view properties, none of which met their needs. Frustrated by this, they turned to us, seeking a more dedicated and flexible solution from an independent relocation agency like us. Their primary requirements were a three-bedroom property to accommodate their three grown children when they visited, and it had to be pet-friendly to accommodate their beloved dog.

The challenge
While most people appreciate pets, landlords often have a preference for tenants without them. Unfortunately, having a pet can significantly limit your choices, reducing available options by as much as 70 to 80%.
Results and outcomes
After a few weeks of searching for the ideal place, we sourced a lovely home in Canonbury, Islington. To ease the landlord's concerns, we had prepared a pet reference letter from our previous landlord in Hong Kong.
The key to success
The key to success in this endeavour was a deep understanding of the rental market and having connections with the top agencies and agents. Crafting a reference letter for your pet is the essential step in securing the perfect property successfully.

A Rental case study in Church Road, Richmond
A family of five from Charlotte, North Carolina, contacted us with an exciting mission: to completely transform their lives by moving to London, along with their adorable dog. With just three months to plan this monumental relocation and a pending school confirmation from The American International School TASIS for their three children, every moment mattered. They had heard glowing things about Richmond, Twickenham, and Chiswick—lush, family-friendly areas known for their charm and sense of community. However, they weren’t familiar enough with these neighbourhoods to make such an important decision confidently, especially while managing the complexities of an international move. Navigating the London property market from thousands of miles away felt overwhelming, so they turned to us for guidance.
