Profile of Fiona Murchie
Having relocated with my family, and with first-hand experience of helping numerous relocatees, I?m well aware of the challenges involved, particularly the importance of balancing today?s family and dual-career needs. The secret to successful relocation ? whether you?re moving on your own or with a company ? lies in advance planning, a willingness to embrace change and access to plenty of practical support. And of course the emotional support is vital, too! Change can be daunting, but relocation can be incredibly exciting, too. After all, it offers huge opportunities for widening horizons and changing your lifestyle for the better.

Questions answered by Fiona Murchie
I have recently moved from New York to London having taken a job with my firm in the UK. I am looking to be here permanently and need to find out how to rent a flat with like-minded people. I can?t afford to rent alone. I have been told there are some specific websites and agents, which could help me in my search. I work in media and am very arts and music based. Are there any areas of London, which I should be looking to live in?
