When it comes to going home there are plenty of things to think about for the whole family. We have compiled a handy check list to ensure you cover all the bases.

• Check your passport is up to date for you and the whole family and organise any renewals
• If you own a property in the UK and it is rented out, check when the lease expires and notify your managing agent/tenant that the tenant will not be able to renew at the end of the lease or give notice that you are exercising your break clause to terminate the lease
• If you want to buy - arrange a mortgage, appoint a solicitor and start to research areas and properties on the internet or contact a relocation agent to help
• Familiarise yourself with the current UK property market through property and financial websites, UK national and local papers and the Land Registry www.landreg.gov.uk
