Catherine
CO-FOUNDER
I wished I had someone to guide me through London when I moved to London in 2000, juggling a new business in PR and a growing family. Today I offer my clients what I once needed: a reliable, pro-active and hands-on support. With deep knowledge of London, I am here to make your move easier and enjoyable from day one.

I am a qualified solicitor and avocat with 15 years of legal experience across Brussels, Paris, and London. Having gone through several international relocations myself, I know how overwhelming they can be. My goal is to help you and your family make a smooth and stress-free transition.

what they say about us
Moving to London from abroad, and then relocating again within the city shortly after, I received exceptional support and care from Laurence and Catherine at Absolutely Relocation. They helped me find the right place to settle and made the entire process smooth and reassuring.
After taking the time to understand my needs and expectations, they quickly proposed several options that matched my criteria. The search was completed both swiftly and successfully.
Beyond finding my new home, Catherine and Laurence also assisted with ordering furniture and setting up utility contracts, which was a tremendous help. I strongly recommend their professionalism, empathy, and ability to translate a brief into tangible, fitting results. Thank you both for your warm and generous support.
Emmanuel Thomassin, Chief Financial Officer, Wise
When my daughter decided at the last minute to move from the US to the UK for graduate school, we were overwhelmed with finding an apartment quickly and the logistics of setting up life in a new country. Fortunately, I discovered Absolutely Relocation. Catherine and Laurence went into action right away, and worked tirelessly to find an appropriate flat and negotiate favorable lease terms. They also guided us through activating utilities, understanding the UK health system and opening a bank account. They are a one-stop shop for anything and everything related to international relocation. They work efficiently, communicate frequently and clearly, and there is not a problem they can’t solve. I rest easier knowing that they are there if my daughter needs assistance in the future. Absolutely Relocation turned a daunting process into a smooth transition, and I am very grateful. Thank you again for everything!

Laura, Head of HR
Catherine and Laurence were invaluable to our family. Their services were truly personalized and perfectly adapted to our family’s need, and they were always available to answer questions, give advice or research a particular subject. They will look after you as if their own family, and follow through all work streams until finalized."
Sofia Ysewyn, Operating Director, I Squared Capital
Buying a property in London is an exciting but complex project and we brought it to a successful conclusion thanks to Absolutely Relocation's efficient and friendly support. Laurence and Catherine helped us to buy a flat for our student daughter and gain a "pied à terre" in central London. They understood our needs perfectly and were very involved in the search making the selection of properties easy. They offered us a wide choice of properties and within three months we found our flat. Living in Abu Dhabi was never an issue. During the conveyancing, they supported us patiently and reassured us about a process that was unfamiliar to us.
Marie-Laurence and Christophe Bourgeois
Catherine was very aware of our needs. She quickly found a boarding school for our son, with a very specific profile. Thanks to her dual-cultural background, Catherine understands foreigners expectations. She was extremely reactive which made the search process very efficient.
Stephanie
Laurence expertly helped me to successfully negotiate and navigate the intricacies of the French administrative process and policies. She was methodical and supremely efficient throughout the process. I couldn’t have done without her.
Sarah, Lawyer
I received very helpful and sound advice from Laurence and Catherine when we decided to move our daughter from the French system to the English system. They shared their knowledge and their contacts with us.
Olivier, Managing Director

our fees
At Absolutely Relocation, transparency and clarity are central to everything we do
Just as each client’s needs are unique, all of our services are entirely bespoke — and so are our fees.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all pricing or surprise charges. When we send you a quote, it is tailored specifically to your requirements, with no hidden extras or unexpected hourly rates.
Our approach means you only pay for the services you need. Whether you require a full relocation package or support with specific aspects of your move, we design our offering around you.
Our search fees (for both rentals and purchases) are success-based — you only pay upon signature of the lease or exchange of contracts.
A non-refundable retainer is payable upon signing our engagement agreement. This amount will be deducted from the final success fee upon completion.
Even after you’ve settled in, we can remain by your side. We’re pleased to offer ongoing services for individuals or families who wish to continue benefiting from our expertise, with a personalised quote provided upon request.
