Here in the Cotswolds, we seem to have attracted a number of high net worth (HNW) and ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals โ think Ellen DeGeneres, Barbra Streisand and even Jay-Z and Beyoncรฉ are rumoured to be looking at properties in our region. In fact, relocating to the Cotswolds offers an appealing mix of countryside charm, privacy, and access to world-class amenities.
With our rolling hills, honey-coloured stone villages, and discreet luxury, the region has long attracted those seeking a more relaxed pace of life without sacrificing sophistication or security.
However, successful relocation involves careful planning across several key areasโฆ

Someone who is used to a high standard of personal security back in the States, for example, might well be struck by the quiet rural location and may not realise the security risk a new Range Rover and a moving truck poses. The last thing we want is for these things to become a beacon to the less desirable individuals who can sadly be attracted by a new prospect.
Using a secure chauffeur service, however, not only ensures that complete discretion for moving day is paramount for the principle and their family, but that route planning and security checks are put in place for their personal effects too.
And if The Summit is the chosen chauffeur service, a close protection officer can be part of the plan.
After moving day, secure chauffeur services provide confident journeys into the city, to airports, centres of business, and private schools.

The Cotswolds is home to some of the UK's most prestigious private schools, and of course the world renowned Oxford University. Cheltenham Ladies' College, Marlborough College, and St Edwardโs in Oxford are within easy reach, offering exceptional academic and extracurricular programs. Parents relocating from large cities or abroad can consider proximity to these institutions when selecting a home.
Itโs advisable to consult with an educational placement expert early in the relocation process, particularly for mid-year transitions or competitive entry points. Many families also choose properties strategically located near these schools to ease the daily commute and ensure continuity of education.

One of the more complex aspects of relocating to the Cotswolds is staffing. Whether it's housekeepers, private chefs, gardeners, or estate managers, demand for skilled and trustworthy domestic staff in the Cotswolds has risen significantly.
Specialist recruitment agencies such as Burford Recruitment can assist in sourcing vetted professionals with experience in large properties and formal households. Estate managers, in particular, are invaluable for coordinating renovations, managing grounds, and liaising with service providers - all critical when the primary residence spans multiple acres.

Speaking of estate management, many properties in the Cotswolds are period homes with extensive grounds, which require regular upkeep. From listed manor houses to modern barn conversions, the scale and complexity of these estates often necessitate dedicated management.
Engaging an estate management company can streamline everything from landscaping to security system upgrades. These services also provide essential oversight when the property is not in use year-round, ensuring smooth operation and rapid response to any issues.
