Frequently Asked Questions
Get comprehensive answers about our relocation accommodation services, organized by topic for your convenience.
Before Booking
Can I really extend if my plans change?
Yes, with 48 hours notice (subject to availability). About 70% of our relocator guests extend their original booking. We deliberately keep flexibility in our calendar because visa delays, project extensions, and school start dates shift constantly.
Is the Wi-Fi actually fast enough for video calls and remote work?
We test monthly and guarantee minimum 50mbps download/10mbps upload. Every property has fiber broadband, and we provide speed test certificates on request. If it drops below our guarantee, we fix it same day or reduce your rate.
What exactly is included in "all bills included"?
Everything: electricity, gas, water, council tax, internet, and basic TV package. The monthly rate we quote is what you pay - no meter readings, no surprise bills, no budget panic three months in.
Do you accept families with children?
Absolutely. Many of our properties are specifically chosen for relocating families. We provide cots, high chairs, safety equipment, and can recommend local schools and childcare. Most families tell us their kids settled faster here than in previous moves.
Can I receive mail and packages during my stay?
Yes, we accept all deliveries including important documents like visas, work permits, or bank cards. For stays over 60 days, we can also help set up mail forwarding from your previous address.
What about pets?
Many properties welcome pets at no extra charge. Just mention your furry family member when booking so we can match you with suitable homes. Some even have secure gardens perfect for dogs.
Booking and Payments
How do monthly payments work?
First month plus security deposit upfront, then monthly direct debit or bank transfer. Much easier than credit card limits for longer stays. We can provide invoices for company reimbursements or expense claims.
Do I need UK credit history or references?
No. We're designed for newcomers. We just need proof of income (employment letter or bank statements) and a valid ID. Understanding that relocators don't have local references is literally why we exist.
Can my company book and pay directly?
Yes, we handle corporate bookings regularly. We can set up direct billing, provide detailed invoices, and work with your company's travel or HR department. Much simpler than expense reporting multiple platform bookings.
What's your cancellation policy?
More flexible than platforms: Full refund if you cancel 30+ days before arrival.
During Your Stay
What if something breaks or goes wrong?
Local maintenance team responds same day for urgent issues (heating, hot water, locks, internet). Next business day for everything else. You have our direct WhatsApp line - no platform customer service queues.
Can I have guests visit or stay over?
Overnight guests are fine occasionally (partners visiting, family staying). Just give us a heads up for longer visits. We're much more flexible than hotels about this.
Is cleaning provided during longer stays?
Weekly cleaning is available as an add-on (£40-60 depending on property size). Fresh linens provided every two weeks for stays over a month. You're not expected to deep clean - this is your temporary home.
How do I get help with local services?
We provide area guides covering GP registration, school enrollment, council tax, and local services. Many of our hosts have relocated themselves and understand the admin maze you're navigating.
Practical Concerns
Are your properties actually safe and quiet?
All properties are in residential areas we'd live in ourselves. Secure entries, well-lit streets, and family-friendly neighborhoods. We avoid party areas and tourist hotspots - you need rest during relocation, not noise.
How close are you to transport/shops/essentials?
Walking distance to transport links, supermarkets, and pharmacies. We choose locations where you can function without a car if needed. Detailed transport guides provided with every booking.
Can you help with school enrollment for my children?
We provide school catchment area information, application deadlines, and can recommend education consultants. Several of our host team have relocated with children and understand the school application stress.
Extending and Leaving
How easy is it to extend my stay?
Simple WhatsApp message with your new end date. We'll confirm availability and adjust your payment schedule. No forms, no fees, no platform rebooking hassles. Most extensions are confirmed within a few hours.
What happens when I'm ready to leave?
Flexible checkout (we know flights don't align with 11am checkout). We can arrange packing assistance, shipping coordination, or storage if you're staying in the UK but moving locally. Your departure should be as smooth as your arrival.
Can I book with you again for future moves?
Our guests often become repeat customers when they relocate again or recommend us to colleagues. Returning guests get priority booking and loyalty discounts. Once you're part of our relocator community, you stay part of it.
Do you have properties in other cities?
Currently focused on Reading and surrounding areas, but we have trusted partner networks in London, Manchester, and Birmingham. If you're moving elsewhere, we can connect you with relocator-friendly hosts we trust.
Emergency Situations
What if I get sick and need medical help?
We provide NHS registration guides and can recommend local GPs accepting new patients. For emergencies, we'll help coordinate with local services and can assist with travel insurance claims if needed.
What about power outages or major issues?
Backup plans for everything. If a property becomes uninhabitable (rare but possible), we'll relocate you to comparable accommodation at our expense while repairs happen.
Can you help if my job situation changes suddenly?
We understand relocations can unravel quickly. Whether you need to leave early or extend indefinitely, we'll work with you to find solutions. Your success in the UK matters to us - we're invested in your transition working out.
