Question 1

Can serviced apartments be used for emergency housing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Serviced apartments can provide fully furnished accommodation for residents who need temporary housing due to emergencies such as fire safety evacuations, structural issues, or insurance displacement.
They offer greater flexibility and added comforts, including more space to cook, live and work, allowing families to stay together in one space. Our serviced apartments can also cater to specific accessibility needs of the residents.

Question 2

How quickly can emergency accommodation be arranged?

Accepted Answer

In urgent situations, accommodation can sometimes be sourced within hours, depending on location and availability. In this case, 200 apartments were secured in under four hours through an extensive partner network.
We also offer hotels to accommodate guests on a short term basis, if the serviced apartment is not immediately available.

Question 3

Do housing associations use serviced apartments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Housing associations, insurers, and local authorities increasingly use serviced apartments as a temporary housing solution for displaced residents, particularly when large numbers of units are required quickly. This offers considerable cost savings because residents can continue their day-to-day lives by catering for themselves in a home environment.

Question 4

How much does emergency housing in serviced apartments cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of serviced apartments varies depending on several factors, including location, length of stay, apartment size, and the number of units required.
For housing associations and organisations managing large-scale or long-term relocations, serviced apartments can often deliver better value than alternatives. This is because we work with an extensive global network of property partners and can negotiate preferential rates for group bookings and extended stays when appropriate.
For large or urgent housing requests, our team can provide tailored pricing based on your specific requirements.
