A critical component to a successful corporate relocation program is to determine realistic and fair housing budgets for the assignee. WHR’s Comparative Value Estimate (CVE) will provide organizations with a formal analysis to set meaningful budgets and to help manage the assignee’s expectations. The comparison looks at options offering similar housing, lifestyle and socio-economic environments and take into consideration property value, style of home, neighbourhood and nearby amenities.

  • Examination of comparable properties
  • Realistic housing allowances

In addition to housing data, it is important for the assignee to be provided accurate information on other costs associated with a destination city. While housing is a major cost when considering a move to a new city, cost of living data is also crucial as part of the decision making process. WHR captures relevant costs that complete the picture of what it is really like to live in a new city:

  • Utility costs
  • Fuel
  • Food
  • Health care
  • Transportation
  • Recreation
  • Education
  • Insurance etc.

WHR can provide customized reporting and analysis for clients on an individual assignee basis or for specific destinations where the client has a presence. Whether it be comparative analyses for specific house types, market trends, cost of living comparisons etc, WHR will customize a solution for each client.
