Walk in and begin a London life.

Before they arrive Consider it Done can;

• advise on which home electrical and electronic equipment to bring (or not) from the US - often saving transport costs and storage space

• set up phone, broadband and TV, plus utilities, Council Tax, TV licence and parking permits, so they are ready to go on the assignee's arrival

• be there to receive the shipment from home, and unpack down to the last cup and saucer (taking it further than the removals firms who 'unpack to surface')

• purchase or rent extra furniture and oversee assembly

• purchase other essentials – from a baby monitor or hairdryer, to a kitchen bin

• order, receive and unpack a grocery delivery for the day of arrival

• meet and greet the family at the property on the day of arrival, handover keys and give a familiarisation walk through covering heating, alarm system, and home technology

These are some common requests, though each individual scenario brings a variety of extra needs, which we are ready to cater for, such as;

• mobile phone contracts where they aren't normally available to new arrivals (a first in our sector)

• pet importing or airport pick up

• short-term car rental or car purchase (with buy back guarantee)

• interior design for the new property

• set up of security alarm system and keyholding

• lock changes, additional keys

• tenants' insurance

• Oyster travel cards for the London Underground

Property Scrutiny

In our experience, sometimes the assignee's property check-in leaves unreported problems. The team at Consider it Done can offer a more forensic level of checks, ensuring there is heating and hot water, appliances are working, blinds and spotlights are functioning, any cleaning issues are taken care of, there are no leaks, cracked glass, or dangerous wires, all sets of keys are available – and so on. We report back immediately with photos, and work to resolve any issues prior to the family's arrival.

Expat Mail Forwarding

Our mail forwarding service allows assignees to login online, view mail that has been delivered in the US and either instruct items to be forwarded to the UK, have them held in the US or have them disposed of.

Little Black Book

Our work has allowed us to work with a huge variety of contractors and trades people over the years and we have a red hot little black book of great contacts as a result! It includes cleaners, handymen, electricians, man and van firms, gardeners, caterers, florists, babysitters, dog walkers, dry cleaners, hairdressers and taxi firms ... to name but a few. We are pleased to make introductions to assignees we are working for.

Take advantage of our Helpful Bolt-Ons.

Keyholding

A spare set of keys for the assignee's apartment are secured with our accredited security partner who can be called out 24/7 in a lock out, a break in, if the alarm goes off, to let in arriving guests, rescue a passport or any number of emergency situations.

Car Finding

Our car finding partner provides an excellent search and inspect service, and whether new or used, negotiates a purchase on behalf of the assignee. They can deliver the vehicle to the new UK address to coincide with the assignee's arrival, and they even offer a buy-back guarantee for the car at the end of the assignment.

Moving within London

Sometimes after a year's tenancy, the assignee's family decide to move somewhere else within London. Consider it Done are well placed to transfer all accounts and personal effects to the new property, ensuring things go smoothly and minimising the amount there is for the family to think about.

The Really Useful USB

Devised by Consider it Done in response to questions being asked by relocatees, the R.U. USB is a memory stick packed with invaluable information about their new neighbourhood. It includes information about local Doctors' surgeries accepting new registrations, local churches, dentists, gyms, 24-hour pharmacies - plus a huge list of Really Useful websites covering off-the-tourist-track list of interesting things to do in London.

Efficiency is in our DNA

Put simply, this means that the assignee does not have to worry about which contact they need to reach out to at each and every stage. Overwhelmingly, feedback we hear from relocatees is that by the time they speak to Consider it Done they have already been in touch with upwards of 10 or more contacts in the chain, all eager to be of help but each creating their own level of 'noise'.

Having an overseeing role from the start is where CiD can add the most value, and reduce the noise level by providing a single point of contact for each assignee. This doesn't have to be at the exclusion of other key relationships or relocation partners.
