The timeline would coincide with the Open Championship, which will take place at Royal Portrush in Co Antrim, just one month after the June’s US Open at Oakmont.
Despite the move, they pair will retain their Florida property in Jupiter, which serves as McIlroy’s base during the PGA Tour season.
The couple purchased the plot in the exclusive Wentworth estate a couple of years ago.
They were drawn to the location due to their fondness for London and the cooler summer climate.
McIlroy revealed that he and Erica visited their new Surrey home immediately after his Masters triumph.
