US to London

Filter by:

Eccord provides a fully managed relocation service for senior executives, individuals and families moving from the US to London.

Our approach is highly personalised and we ensure a seamless move, from advising on locations and sourcing the right home to managing every detail of the relocation. We simplify the process and protect your time and interests at every step.

Why many US executives and their families trust us with their transition to London

The process of renting or buying a home in the UK is very different to the US. There is no MLS or central listing service, which means you will need to contact many estate agents to find the right property. These agents work for the landlord or seller.

At Eccord, we solely represent you and your interests from start to finish. As a buying agent, we provide expert local knowledge, give you access to off-market homes, handle negotiations and offer full relocation support throughout.

Alongside finding your new London home, we can connect clients with trusted partners for legal, tax and visa advice, banking support, and school guidance.
