Brexit is finally happening. On 31 January 2020 at 23.00 GMT (midnight on 1 February in mainland Europe), the UK will leave the European Union and European Economic Area, and related agreements with Switzerland will end.

With the UK now set to leave the European Union (EU) by 31 January 2020, what does that mean for UK and EU assignees? To keep up to date on immigration developments, Cartus works closely with our immigration provider Fragomen, who releases regular updates on immigration as it relates to Brexit.

The Cartus Destination Services team in Richmond provides an update on the trends that they’re experiencing in the current UK rental market and the impact these may have on international assignees moving to the UK.

Unless a withdrawal agreement is passed by the UK government and agreed to with the European Union (EU), the UK is set to leave the EU on 31 October without a deal. This outcome may result in delays to household goods shipments and increasing relocation costs.
