Why move to Jersey, Channel Islands?

Thinking of making a move? We asked our diverse team who moved over to Jersey what they loved about our Island. Hear what makes Jersey so special!

Lived there for 6 months during my internship in 2009. Great Island, great people, good memories!

Those winter months spoil the appeal for me. Living in year round sunshine from Palm Springs CA.

Jersey has many issues typical of an island:
- High prices in stores due to low competition and high barriers of entry for new players,
- Expensive land, which makes for expensive housing;
- Small pieces of land, which make it expensive to buy a detached home;
- The island services are concentrated on one place, St. Helier.
Moreover, it is suffering with Brexit - because its major trading partner, the UK, is struggling with inflation, product scarcity, lack of labor, etc...
Additionally, the qualification scheme makes it quite expensive to rent, which brings down the newcomers.

Furthermore, the health services are quite... Not up to the standards people living in a first World country are used to.
This comes from the fact that it is challenging to motivate both young and experienced Doctors to come to Jersey - and the Government is not doing enough.

The "Current Year Tax Reform" was quite bad - and I lost some of the trust I had in stability from the Government.

Yes, the weather is nice, and there are plenty of beaches and monuments to visit.
But, I think you can do it in a week - 4 days, I would say.

I want to retire there. Our family has a property there but we can't afford to live in it ! I love the island and have done for over 6 decades.

During the pandemic, I got out of New York City and moved to Jersey.

Seems alluring.
How about if someone took a break from corporate life for a while.

Living there for twenty years renting before you can even start looking for a house and thats if you've got enough money might put you off..

I’m from Jersey and it breaks my heart that the island has been ruined by money and overrun with outsiders like all the people featured in this film, interesting that you didn’t interview any Jersey people .

why move to Jersey when you could move to Guernsey?

It’s ironic that nobody mentions the tax benefits in a BDO video. 😂

I will love to move to Jersey and work for your firm as a tax consultant. I am a qualified accountant and a experienced tax consultant.

However, I stay in Nigeria, are you guys willing my to sponsor my work license if I eventually get a chance to work with you guys?

A couple of days, a week at best then I have to get back to civilisation. London is so much better
