Typical use cases include short term projects at Edinburgh Park, government contracts near Holyrood, financial services teams in the New Town, film and TV production crews during August festivals, and relocation support for employees joining banks on St Andrew Square or academics at the University of Edinburgh.

Compared to hotels, corporate lets deliver:

Corporate Housing Options Across Edinburgh

Corporate housing across Edinburgh covers modern apartments and townhouses, all fully furnished and ready to move into with utilities already set up. Whether you need a studio for a solo consultant, a 1–2 bedroom fully furnished apartment for visiting executives, or 3–4 bedroom properties for project teams or relocating families, our portfolio caters to your requirements.

Properties are positioned in business districts that suit different sectors:

Standard amenities across all corporate accommodation include high speed wi fi, smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen with washer/dryer, regular housekeeping, and 24/7 maintenance support.

Business Relocations to Edinburgh

We support companies relocating employees to Edinburgh with temporary housing while they search for a permanent home. This offers guests a secure base without the pressure of rushing into long-term rent commitments.

Typical relocation scenarios include senior hires starting at St Andrew Square banks, academics joining the University of Edinburgh, and teams transferring to newly opened offices. Our apartments provide flexible start dates, month-to-month extensions, and all bills included, covering utilities, council tax, and wi fi.

Example 3-month relocation timeline:

1. Week 1: Arrival with self-check-in, settling into your perfect home away from home
2. Weeks 2–8: Property search while enjoying full housekeeping services
3. Weeks 9–12: Finalise permanent accommodation and seamless transition to move-out

We can also offer access to neighbourhood guidance, comparing areas like Stockbridge versus Bruntsfield, plus tips on commuting times and local services.

Group Stays for Teams and Contractors

We regularly host business groups, from 4–6 person project teams up to larger contractor crews working on infrastructure projects. Our configuration options keep colleagues close together, multiple apartments in the same building near Haymarket or Fountainbridge, or larger townhouses in Leith.

Industries that typically use group stays:

• Engineering and utilities teams
• Film and TV production crews
• IT implementation squads
• Training cohorts
