What Is Corporate Accommodation?
Corporate accommodation is housing booked by a business for employees on temporary postings, project assignments or secondments. The defining feature is the company arrangement: the property is leased in the company name, billed monthly to the business, and managed as a workplace benefit rather than a personal tenancy.
Corporate accommodation covers a range of property types, serviced apartments, corporate apartments, and managed houses, all furnished and serviced to the same standard. All utilities, broadband and weekly cleaning are included in the monthly rate. There are no individual expense claims, no receipts to submit, and no hidden costs.
Unlike hotels, corporate accommodation gives employees a proper home environment. A separate bedroom, a full kitchen for self-catering, a living area to decompress, and laundry facilities on-site. For assignments of 2 weeks or longer, this arrangement is typically 30–50% cheaper than equivalent business hotels when subsistence savings are included.
Overnightly provides corporate accommodation and corporate housing across 175+ UK cities. Our corporate rental services handle everything from property sourcing and furnishing to monthly invoicing and ongoing management.

Agreed credit terms
Open a trade account on agreed payment terms, such as 30-day terms. Book accommodation now, settle on one monthly invoice; no card details at the point of booking.
Spend caps per project
Set budget caps and spend limits against each project or cost code. Bookings stay inside the limits your procurement team agrees up front, so nothing runs over budget unnoticed.
One consolidated invoice
Every property and every employee on a single monthly invoice in the company name. No individual expense claims, no per-booking card payments, no sourcing fees.
One supplier, one invoice, less admin. Consolidating accommodation onto a single trade account saves procurement teams around four hours a week on booking admin, expense reconciliation and supplier chasing; all while accommodation stays 30–45% cheaper than equivalent hotels.
