Relocation relocation

The number of people moving offshore is on the rise. Recent research* indicates that almost three quarters of UK residents have considered moving away from the country this year. This could be attributed to the growing trend of retiring or working abroad or leaving behind the high cost of living, crime rate, lack of job prospects and the increasingly burdensome tax regime in the UK. Whatever the reason, relocating offshore usually means relocating finances too.

At Fairbairn Private Bank, we understand the complexities of relocating offshore and, working with professional intermediaries and tax advisers, can help clients make the transition. Our offices in the well-regulated and reputable jurisdictions of the Isle of Man and Jersey, plus a representative office in South Africa, mean we are ideally placed to help clients plan for their personal circumstances. For those clients choosing one of these particular jurisdictions, clients have the benefit of having their relationship manager on their doorstep. For others, we provide a useful guiding hand given our many years' of experience in dealing with internationally mobile individuals.

We can offer significant advantages where a client's residency or domicile status permits. For example, UK expatriates and overseas workers could particularly benefit from the flexibility of our services, which include:
