From Pennsylvania to the UK but what about the children?
Posted: Friday 20 January 2012
“When Jen Holzberger's husband moved jobs from Pennsylvania in the US to the UK the couple had a clear priority - the children” - the BBC recently reported. The story goes on to explore the challenges faced by a family relocating for work when timing didn't work well for the children starting new schools. You can read the full story here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16422840
Karen Turner, property Services Manager at Morton Fraser comments on what is a familiar story:
“At Morton Fraser, we have a wealth of knowledge in all of these areas having worked with major corporate clients in assisting their employees with house sale and purchase moves over a number of years.
Settling children into new schools will be top of any parent’s list. Schooling comes hand in hand with areas in which to buy the new family property as catchment schools are linked to areas. Buying in the wrong street could mean that you miss out on the best catchment school for your children. If you are moving from abroad the school system in the UK will be different to what you will have been used to.
At Morton Fraser we are able to provide knowledgeable advice on areas in which to buy in, schooling within the public and private sector, local transport links and most importantly securing the new family home for you at the best price possible.”
