Relocation businesses offer companies and individuals a full suite of services including pre-departure and neighbourhood orientation, home-finding services, lease negotiation and utilities hook-ups, as well as school selection, visits and registration assistance.

Removals companies, on the other hand, offer a more limited range of services that tend to focus only on the transportation of goods.

Below are some reputable relocation companies to choose from.

Local relocation companies

Sprout Tours

Sprout Tours specialises in helping clients get to know their future home with area and rental tours.
