Temporary accommodation 

Temporary accommodation to support smooth employee relocation 

As part of our end-to-end relocation support, we offer high-quality temporary accommodation solutions for employees relocating within the UK or internationally. Temporary accommodation plays a key role in the relocation journey, offering employees a secure and fully equipped base during the initial stages of their move. 

This short-term solution is typically required for the first 30 days following arrival and serves as an ideal foundation while employees familiarise themselves with their new surroundings and begin the home search process. Whether your assignee is waiting to access their permanent accommodation or needs more time to explore local neighbourhoods, temporary housing offers flexibility, comfort and convenience. 

Trusted global and local providers

We partner with a range of vetted accommodation suppliers, both global and local, to ensure consistent service and quality. These providers offer serviced apartments in key locations, often within close proximity to the employee's new office. 

Tailored to policy and individual requirements

Temporary accommodation is sourced in line with company relocation polices and the individual requirements of each employee. Our team presents a selection of suitable options for review and manages the booking process to ensure a smooth arrival. Where needed, we also handle extensions efficiently to provide continuity and reassurance. 

Quality assurance and ongoing support 

We maintain a high standard of quality control throughout your employee's temporary stay. Our local management teams are required to follow Pickfords' strict cleaning and service protocols to ensure every employee receives a consistent, high-quality experience. We remain available throughout the stay to manage any updates or changes. 

Seamless integration with wider relocation services 

Our temporary accommodation offering is fully integrated with Pickfords' wider relocation and global mobility services. From orientation support to home search and settling-in assistance, we coordinate every aspect to ensure a seamless experience for your organisation and your employees.
