How it works

Three steps. One soft landing.

From signing up to your first night in London — the whole flow, in one go.

01

Tell us about your move

A two-minute intake: dates, accommodation, household, reason. We build a tailored plan instantly — no card needed.

02

We prepare everything

Admin drafted (SIM, bank, council tax, GP). Kit packed and routed to your address. Delivery slot confirmed 48 hours before you land.

03

You walk in, ready

Kit waiting at the door. Admin one-tap away. Dashboard tracks what's done and what only you can finish — bank ID, signatures, in-person steps.

What's in your kit

Four layers of soft landing.

Commercial admin pre-filled, governmental paperwork drafted, a physical kit at your door, and honest local advice from someone who actually lives here.

Commercial admin

Private-sector setup, pre-filled.

  • SIM / eSIM ordered and posted before you arrive
  • Bank application drafted (Monzo / Wise) — just add ID
  • Broadband shortlisted and ready to order
  • Contents insurance — 3 honest picks for your postcode

Pre-filled by our AI so you only sign.

Governmental

Statutory paperwork, drafted.

  • Council tax — borough mapped, form prepared
  • GP shortlist + pre-filled registration
  • NHS app & health setup walkthrough
  • HMRC, NI, right-to-work guidance where relevant

Drafted before you land — you sign and submit.

Physical kit

A usable home, day one.

  • Linen moduleBedsheet, pillowcase, duvet cover, Bath towel + face towel
  • Kitchen modulePlate, bowl, cutlery, mug, Pan + kettle
  • Bathroom moduleToilet paper, soap, Shampoo, body wash, toothpaste
  • Pantry moduleSalt, pepper, oil, Tea, coffee, sugar

At your door before you land — slot held 48 hours ahead.

Local knowledge

A trusted friend, not a blog.

  • Opinionated guidance for your actual neighbourhood
  • First-week checklist, sequenced day-by-day
  • Honest picks — not affiliate links dressed as advice
  • A real human you can ask through arrival week

Written by people who actually live here.

What we do

Done for you. Or guided, step by step.

Where UK rules let us, we just do it. Where they require you — ID checks, signatures, in-person confirmation — we research, decide, and pre-fill so all you do is the bit only you can.

Done for you

We do it

  • SIM card ordered & delivered

    Pre-ordered and posted, ready for activation when you land. No phone-shop queue.

  • Home kit assembled & delivered

    Linen, kitchen, bathroom, pantry — at your door before you arrive. (Ready & Settled tiers.)

  • Broadband shortlisted & ready to order

    We compare providers for your address and prepare the order — placed where the provider's rules allow. You just need to be home for installation. (Settled tier.)

  • Borough & council tax research

    We identify your borough, the right form, and the exact submission path so you don't have to figure it out.

  • GP shortlist for your postcode

    We find the closest accepting surgeries and pre-fill the registration form, ready to submit.

  • Prioritised first-week plan

    Day 1, day 3, week 1, week 2 — sequenced for you so the right thing happens at the right time.

Guided by us

You finish in minutes

  • Bank account — finish in ~10 min

    We prepare the Monzo or Wise application with the details you've shared. You enter your own credentials and complete ID verification in the app — UK rules require it's you.

  • Council tax — submit in ~5 min

    Form is prepared and the path is mapped. You sign and submit; the council needs the named tenant to confirm.

  • GP registration — confirm in person

    Form is ready to hand in or upload. Some surgeries require you to confirm ID in person on first visit.

  • Contents insurance — buy in ~5 min

    We compare 5 providers for your postcode and household and give you 3 honest picks. You choose and pay.

  • TfL account & Oyster — 5 min setup

    We walk you through account creation and contactless setup so London transport billing is never a guessing game.

  • NHS app & health setup

    Step-by-step walkthrough for prescriptions, GP messaging, and referrals — you sign in with your details.

Pricing

Choose the level of help you need.

One all-in price per plan. Tell us what your home already has and we only charge for what we actually need to provide.

Roadmap

What's next

Ideas we're shaping, not products we're selling. Today SoftLanding is for individual movers arriving in London. These pages explain where we'd like to grow — you can register interest, but there's nothing to buy.

Coming soon

For universities & employers

One plan, one invoice, one arrival window — for universities, employers, and programmes bringing groups of international movers into London together.

See partner page
Coming soon

Leave lighter — circular kits between movers

When your London chapter ends, we'd help close accounts, collect your kit, and pass usable items on to the next arrival instead of landfill.

Coming soon

Ongoing support after move-in

Beyond the first weeks: utilities, renewals, deposit-protection help at move-out, local services, home upgrades. Today we focus on landing well — this is where we'd grow next.

FAQ

Promises and answers.

Arrival-week support

If something's missing or wrong in your kit when you arrive, we help fix it fast — replacement or refund.

Real human contact

A named contact through arrival week — not a chatbot, not a ticket queue.

Built by movers

Designed by people who arrived in London with no bank account, no SIM, and no kettle.

Delivery you can trust

We confirm a 2-hour delivery window 48 hours before you land — left with concierge, agent, or key safe.
