Relocation advice!

Hi there! My partner and I are planning to buy a house and move over to the island next year. We would like some advice please from people who have done this too!

We both work in a big supermarket chain, so we would hopefully be able to transfer jobs, if there are vacancies available. We are just both wondering how do people make the move? Luckily we do have friends we could stay with over there for a short time.

Do you find a house first, buy it then look for jobs whilst still in your old jobs and move over one at a time when weve each found a job? Or both find jobs first, stay with friends on the island and then look for a house once we have jobs? But that could mean staying with friends for a long time which we would like to avoid if possible.

Ideally we don't want to move over at separate times from eachother but we realise that may have to happen.

We would be so grateful for any advice as we both don't really have an idea how to do this!! Thankyou!

Edit; currently live with parents in West Sussex
