What it is

What Is Relocation Accommodation?

Relocation accommodation is furnished, fully equipped temporary housing for an employee moving to a new city, office or region for work. It gives the person a genuine home from the day they arrive, rather than a hotel room or an empty rented property they have to furnish and connect themselves.

It bridges the gap between accepting a move and settling into a permanent home. Stays run for weeks or months on flexible terms, all bills are included, and the cost is billed back to the company on a single invoice instead of through staff expense claims.

For HR teams and relocation managers, it removes the friction from a move: the employee starts work without a housing scramble, and the company has one supplier and one point of contact rather than a stack of landlords, utilities and receipts.

Why companies use it

  • Employee can relocate and start work the same week
  • No long lease before a permanent home is found
  • All bills included on one consolidated invoice
  • A single point of contact handles the whole move
  • Furnished homes near the new office or transport
  • Trade accounts for HR teams booking regularly
Who it's for

Built for Every Kind of Move

Relocation comes in many forms. We support HR teams and relocation managers across each of them, from a single new starter to a whole team on the move.

New-hire relocation

Bridge the gap between an accepted offer and a permanent home. Furnished, move-in-ready accommodation lets a new starter relocate and begin work without waiting on a property search.

Office moves

When a team or function shifts to a new office, staff who can't commute daily need somewhere to land. We place groups in the same area on one account.

Regional transfers

Internal moves between sites or regions rarely line up neatly with housing. Month-to-month stays cover the transition until the employee settles permanently.

International assignees

Employees arriving in the UK on assignment need a fully furnished home from day one, with bills handled and a single contact while they get established.

Why Overnightly

What Relocating Employees Get

A smooth move depends on the employee feeling settled and the company keeping the admin simple. We are built to do both.

Furnished & ready

Houses, flats and apartments arrive fully furnished and equipped, so a relocating employee can unpack and start work the same week.

Flexible month-to-month

Stays run for weeks or months on flexible terms, not rigid year-long leases, so the booking flexes around when a permanent home is found.

All bills, one invoice

Utilities and broadband are included, billed back to the company on a single consolidated invoice instead of staff expense claims.

Managed support

One point of contact handles everything from first enquiry to checkout, so HR and relocation managers aren't co-ordinating with landlords directly.

How it works

A Simple Relocation Process

For HR teams and relocation managers, here is how an Overnightly relocation runs, from first enquiry to the employee settling in.

1

Tell us who's moving and where

Share the employee, the destination city or office, and an approximate start date. Even a rough move date gets the search underway.

2

Set duration and preferences

Let us know the likely length of stay, whether family or pets are joining, and any must-haves like parking or proximity to transport.

3

Review a tailored proposal

We come back with furnished options near the office or transport links, with photos, location and pricing, all bills included.

4

Confirm and invoice to the company

We issue a single company invoice and arrange keys. The employee moves into a ready home and the company has one line item.

5

Managed support throughout

One contact handles extensions, early checkouts and any questions while the assignee or transferee settles in.

6

Flex as plans change

Permanent housing falls through or the search runs long, the stay simply extends month-to-month with reasonable notice.

The bigger picture

One Supplier for the Whole Move

Relocation accommodation sits within a wider service. Overnightly arranges furnished houses, flats and apartments across 175+ UK cities for companies moving people, whether that's one relocating employee or a managed programme of transfers and assignments.

Because it is all on one account, HR teams get a single point of contact and one consolidated invoice, with all bills included, no matter how many people are moving or for how long.

Furnished & equipped: Houses, flats and apartments ready to move into.
All bills included: Utilities and broadband covered, on one invoice.

Family-friendly

Moving With Family or Pets

Many relocations involve more than one person. An assignee may arrive with a partner and children, or a transferee may bring a pet. We source furnished homes sized for the household, not just the employee, so a move feels like a fresh start rather than a stopgap.

Tell us who is moving at enquiry stage and we shortlist properties to match, including pet-friendly homes where needed, all on the same flexible terms and the same single invoice.

Sized for the household

Larger furnished homes for assignees relocating with a partner or family.

Pet-friendly options

Properties that welcome pets, flagged from the start of the search.

Settle at your pace

Month-to-month stays give the family time to find a permanent home.

One contact throughout

The same managed support whether one person or a whole family moves.

Questions

Relocation Accommodation FAQ

Relocation accommodation is furnished, fully equipped temporary housing for an employee moving to a new city, office or region for work. Unlike a hotel or a standard tenancy, it provides a real home from day one with all bills included, flexible stays measured in weeks or months, and consolidated billing to the company. It bridges the gap between an employee accepting a move and finding a permanent home.

It suits any employee relocating for work: new hires moving to start a role, teams affected by an office move, staff on a regional or internal transfer between sites, and international assignees landing in the UK. HR teams and relocation managers use it to give relocating people a settled base without committing to a long lease before they know exactly where they want to live.

Accommodation a company provides for an employee relocating for work is generally handled through the business rather than personal expense claims, and there are specific HMRC reliefs that can apply to qualifying relocation costs. The rules depend on the circumstances of the move and the employee's situation, so confirm the treatment for your case with your accountant or finance team. We make it simple administratively by billing the company directly on one consolidated invoice.

Stays are flexible and run for as long as the relocation needs, from a few weeks while a permanent home is arranged to several months for a longer assignment. There are no rigid fixed-term contracts; the booking extends month-to-month, so it keeps pace with how the move actually unfolds.

Yes. We regularly source larger furnished homes for assignees and transferees relocating with a partner or family rather than on their own. Pet-friendly properties are also available; let us know at enquiry stage so we shortlist suitable homes from the start.

We bill the company directly on a single consolidated invoice that covers the accommodation and all included bills, so there are no individual receipts or staff expense claims to reconcile. Where several employees are relocating at once, multiple stays appear on one invoice. Trade accounts are available for HR teams and relocation managers booking regularly.

All bills are included as standard, covering utilities and broadband alongside the furnished, equipped home. The employee moves in and starts work without setting up accounts or paying separate suppliers, and the company sees a single predictable cost rather than a string of variable charges.

We provide furnished houses, flats and apartments across 175+ UK cities, with strong coverage in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham, Cardiff and more. Wherever the new office or site is, we work to place relocating employees near the workplace and good transport links.
