Our Corporate and Relocation Service enables both large and small companies alike to cost effectively outsource this specialist work on a tenancy by tenancy basis. Our team of professionals know and understand the requirements and concerns faced by corporate clients and their employees.

Corporate and Relocation Services My wife and I were relocating to London and had never moved abroad before. Olivia handled all of our housing needs. She educated us on the London rental market and organized a network of associates throughout the west side to show us literally dozens of flats over a period of three months. She delivered high quality results, was very responsive to our questions, comments and suggestions. It would be difficult to reasonably expect better results than she delivered. Well done Olivia. Thank you! Board Member of an International Accountancy Firm Having an Account Manager on board to assist with the Embassy diplomats in terms of housing is a peace of mind and takes a whole weight off of my shoulders. I have worked with Canan for several years and she understands the ins and outs of how our embassy works and tailors the service to suit us accordingly. I would strongly recommend all embassies take advantage of Hamptons International s Corporate & Relocation Service." Embassy, Middle East Whilst writing I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Laura for her very thorough research and courtesy at all times. Every time we have a home search Laura is always straight onto it with maximum enthusiasm and efficiency I would not hesitate to recommend Hamptons International s Corporate & Relocation Services to any of my discerning clients.
