Moving to New Zealand
Although we specialise in Pension Transfers from the UK, we also pride ourselves on providing as much information as possible about what it’s like to live in New Zealand, to make it easier for people who are looking to emigrate.
Look before you leap
New Zealand is beautiful and green, relaxed and safe, uncrowded and friendly. But it is not paradise – it will take time for you and your family to settle in, and there will be times when things don’t go exactly to plan. One of the biggest surprises for many new migrants is the cost of living here – wages really aren’t that high. Others miss their friends and family, and find it hard to establish a social network. Still others miss central heating far more than they anticipated.
