1748 Limited
A Trusted Guide for Life's Most Significant Move
Relocating to a new country is one of the most significant decisions a person or family can make. It demands careful planning, deep local knowledge, and a trusted guide who genuinely understands what is at stake.
Jason Stokes founded ioleda to provide exactly that — a bespoke, personal concierge service for individuals and families choosing New Zealand as their new home.
With extensive experience living and working in New Zealand, Jason has built a trusted network of professionals across property, law, finance, immigration, education, and lifestyle. He brings this network — and his own personal experience of relocation — to every client engagement.
Jason specialises in overseas relocations to Queenstown, Wanaka, Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington, New Plymouth, and Auckland — and is equally happy to assist with any relocation to anywhere in New Zealand. His two primary bases are Queenstown and Auckland, giving him deep on-the-ground knowledge across both the South and North Islands.
What sets Jason apart is his commitment to genuine, one-on-one service. There are no junior staff, no call centres, no off-the-shelf packages. When you engage ioleda, you work directly with Jason — from the first conversation through to the day you feel truly settled in your new home.
Jason operates through 1748 Limited, a New Zealand registered company. The name ioleda reflects his personal philosophy: that a great relocation is not just a logistical exercise, but the beginning of a new chapter in life.
