Relocation adviser
In 2026, a family of four transferred from London settled in the 16th arrondissement. A search near the international schools, remote viewings and an application prepared with the employer: everything was handled for a calm arrival before the school year.

Viewings
First visit
We viewed five apartments on a live video call with the family, still in London, walking through every room and the neighbourhood: schools, shops and transport.
Second visit
On their weekend in Paris, the family revisited the two shortlisted apartments. We checked the building, the charges and the earliest move-in date before submitting the offer.

The offer was accepted the next day. We negotiated a 25 August move-in, set up the e-signature of the lease from London and did the check-in inspection for the family.
