Relocate only if the role, the household and the numbers all stand up. Cost the whole move, including the double running period, negotiate support in writing, trial the location before committing, and consider commuting or interim arrangements first. Plan your first six months as carefully as the move itself.
Relocating for an FM Role is a practical guide for Facilities Management and estates professionals considering a move for a job. It treats relocation as a household and financial decision as much as a career one.
The guide shows how to cost the whole move, negotiate support in writing, test the area and employer, involve the family and consider staged alternatives. It also looks at regional differences in FM markets and how to settle in during the first six months.

- Deciding whether you are moving for the role or the life
- Costing one-off, running and overlap expenses
- Negotiating relocation support and repayment terms
- Testing the area and employer before committing
