The ‘Dreaming Spires’ of Oxford is packed with history, culture and charm. Here is Chiltern Relocation’s list of the best things to do in Oxford, blending iconic sights, hidden gems, and local favourites.
1. Take a tour of the University of Oxford Colleges
Must-sees include Christ Church (filming site for Harry Potter), Magdalen College, New College, and Balliol College. Some colleges charge a small entry fee but others are free during certain hours.

Chiltern Relocation has been busy viewing off-market properties in the last couple of weeks. Spring is typically seen as the most favourable time to buy and sell a house and we are definitely seeing an uptick in activity in the housing market.

According to recent research carried out by Rightmove, February and March are the best months to put a property on the market. Rightmove studied millions of home sales from the past 12 years to work out when homes are most likely to sell without falling through.

The UK has long been a favourite destination for many of our USA counterparts and many chose to have a base in both countries. However, following Trump’s re-election, statistics are pointing at an increase in Americans choosing to call the UK home. This mass migration has been dubbed the ‘Donald Dashers’ phenomenon, as US citizens rush to secure residency in the UK.

With the Easter holidays just round the corner, we take a look at what’s going on in our area over the Easter break. Whether it’s children’s activities and adventure you are after or simply exploring stunning countryside and woodland to enjoy the bluebells there is plenty going on in the Chilterns!

Monday 3rd March is a big day for parents across the country as they find out which school their Year 6 child has been allocated for their secondary school education. This is the conclusion of a long process that starts many months ago when parents and children view different schools and most importantly focus on catchment area maps to help with their decision-making process.

Inspiring #SBS Event for Winners of Theo Paphitis’s Small Business Sunday
Chiltern Relocation was thrilled to attend the 15th annual #SBS event championing small businesses run by former Dragons Den star Theo Paphitis.
Held at the Birmingham ICC, the event draws huge numbers of business owners keen to hear the inspiring and motivating speakers, who freely give invaluable advice about their business journeys. This year the winners were treated to talks by Jo Tutchener Sharp of clothing company Scamp & Dude and Imran Hakim a former Dragons Den entrepreneur.

The recent BBC Panorama programme, Should We Still be Working from Home, shone a light on the way that working environments have been transformed since the Covid pandemic. The programme looked at whether working from home (WFH) is viable long term, if it is good for us and whether it is good for the economy. Time in the office vs time WFH is very much hitting the headlines as offices across the country are now starting to implement guidelines stipulating that employees must attend the office for a minimum number of days.

This year Chiltern Relocation is celebrating TWENTY years in business. As we reflect on this milestone anniversary, I wanted to share what I have learnt about taking the plunge and setting up my own business from scratch. I hope it will inspire others to also take a leap of faith and fulfil their career dreams.
