Our partner-led Real Estate team regularly helps newcomers to Jersey in acquiring new homes and/or business premises and guiding them through the Jersey relocation process with advice on obtaining residency, high-value residency applications, and work and business licence applications, all on a strictly personal and confidential basis. Indeed, we have acted for many high-net-worth individuals and high-value residents in recent years who have taken the decision to relocate to Jersey.
Why relocate to Jersey?
Jersey offers an exceptional combination of lifestyle and substance: 43 miles of stunning coastline, a temperate climate, and a distinctive Franco-British character – all within a one-hour flight from London. For high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, and their families, Jersey provides a sophisticated legal and financial infrastructure that rivals the world’s leading jurisdictions.
Located in the Bay of St Malo – 14 miles from France and 85 miles from England – Jersey is the largest (population of approximately 104,500) and sunniest of the Channel Islands, offering a relaxed pace of life with pleasant coastal commutes and a strong sense of community. Jersey shares the UK’s time zone, currency, and language, making integration seamless for individuals and businesses alike. The island also offers excellent private medical services, outstanding schools (both private and state), a buoyant employment market, and an exceptional property market – ranging from historic manor houses to contemporary waterfront apartments.
As a British Crown Dependency, Jersey maintains its own parliament (the States Assembly), an independent legal system rooted in Norman customary law, and separate fiscal policies – whilst being defended and represented internationally by the UK Government. This unique constitutional position provides both stability and flexibility.
