Chestertons becomes first estate agency to join relocation association
The Corporate Services team at Chestertons aims to build stronger links with relocation specialists and support international employees moving to London.
Chestertons has become the first estate agency to join the Association of Relocation Professionals (ARP), marking a milestone for the business and its corporate relocation services.
The membership recognises the role estate agents play in helping businesses and individuals relocating to the UK, particularly international employees moving to London.
Chestertons’ Corporate Services team (pictured) works with relocation agents, corporate clients and international organisations to help employees and their families find suitable homes. Its services include tailored property searches and support throughout the relocation process.
Technology, AI, banking and investment professionals account for 57% of corporate moves handled by Chestertons, highlighting the importance of these sectors to London’s relocation market.
Eliza Nissim, Director of Corporate Services at Chestertons, said: “We are delighted to become ARP’s first estate agency member, following more than 18 months of building relationships across the relocation industry.
“Relocating to a new city can be daunting, particularly for international employees and their families. Our role is to make that transition as smooth as possible, combining local knowledge with a personal service tailored to each client’s needs.”
Strengthening industry partnerships
The membership will give Chestertons opportunities to develop relationships with relocation management companies and corporate mobility specialists, while contributing to professional standards across the sector.
Anshul Rajan, Key Client and Business Development Director at Chestertons, said becoming the first estate agency member reflected the company’s commitment to building lasting relationships with businesses and relocation professionals.
Tad Zurlinden, Chief Executive of ARP, said: “Housing is often what decides whether a move succeeds, for the employee and their family as much as for the employer. Bringing agents into ARP alongside relocation management companies, destination service providers and corporate mobility teams gives our members a fuller view of the supply chain.
“It also helps raise standards across every part of it.”
Founded in 1986, ARP represents organisations and individuals working across the UK relocation industry. The association is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026.
