FREE 23-PAGE JOHANNESBURG RELOCATION GUIDE:

Could Johannesburg work for your family?

We have all the information you need to make the decision.  

The Johannesburg Relocation Guide is a free guide for international families and professionals deciding where to live, which schools to consider and how to settle safely in Johannesburg.

It explains the decisions in the order that usually works best: confirm the office location, understand your school options, compare realistic commuting times, choose a suburb and only then start looking for a home.

Written by Hannah Pirnie, Johannesburg relocation specialist and registered Property Practitioner. Hannah moved from the UK to Johannesburg with her own family in 2010.

“This was such a lifesaver, thank you so much for putting everything together in one place, I felt so overwhelmed before I could put everything down in one place.

— Caroline Jones

This guide will not tell you exactly where to live

Nobody honest can do that in a PDF.

The right answer depends on where the office is, whether schools are part of your move, how you want your family to live and how much time you are willing to spend in the car.

What this guide will do is help you ask the right questions before you commit to the wrong school, suburb or property.
