Advice on serviced apartments as a relocation solution

Relocating and now the stress of finding the right accommodation that will meet your most immediate needs? A business relocation or a secondment brings with it the excitement of many new career prospects. This positive period should not be tarnished by the stress of moving and finding a permanent housing solution as soon as possible. Here we offer useful advice on choosing a serviced apartment as a viable option for your extended stay during a relocation.

Serviced apartments are furnished so you don’t have to pack-up all your belongings twice. Instead you can put everything in storage until a permanent solution has been found or your secondment period has ended. Serviced apartments range in size from studio to three bedroom with either one or two bathrooms. Other options include a balcony or more luxurious penthouse and deluxe apartments with each meeting specific needs and requirements. Serviced apartments are also inclusive of a kitchen with all the basic crockery, cutlery, pots and appliance needed to prepare meals. There is also a washing machine, iron and ironing board so you don’t have to rely on a laundromat.

Advice on booking relocation accommodation

Once you know the town or city your business relocation or project secondment is taking you to, you can start the process of finding accommodation that best meets your needs. Serviced apartment or real estate websites list available accommodation along with photographs and all the features & benefits for each. Use this as a guide and when comparing prices make sure you know exactly what is included in the monthly rates.
