What we will discuss

Our initial consultation is an opportunity for us to get to know you, understand your situation, and identify the areas where you may benefit from support. The purpose of the session is to create a personalised support plan tailored to your individual needs, preferences, and goals.

  • Any other practical or personal requirements

Personalised Research & Support

Because every student's needs are different, our services are tailored to each individual. After the consultation, we will:

  • Research suitable options on your behalf
  • Compare available services and providers
  • Identify solutions that match your requirements
  • Obtain quotations where appropriate
  • Create a personalised support plan

Research and coordination services are typically charged as a project fee, which will depend on the complexity of the request.

Your Personalised Support Plan

Following the consultation, you will receive:

  • A summary of your priorities and requirements
  • Recommended services
  • Accommodation guidance (if requested)
  • Relevant resources and recommendations
  • A personalised quotation for any support services you would like to proceed with

The consultation is not a sales call.

It is an opportunity for us to understand your needs, answer your questions, and explore how we can help make your transition to life in Edinburgh as smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free as possible.

Why We Don't Offer Standard Packages

Most relocation services provide fixed packages designed around what they want to sell.

At Welcome Here, we start with what you actually need.

Whether you need help finding accommodation, opening a bank account, finding a private tutor, joining a gym, meeting new people, arranging airport transfers, or planning a family visit to Edinburgh, we create a personalised support plan based on your circumstances.

You tell us what you need. We do the research, planning, and coordination to help make it happen.
