Flexible Secondment Accommodation for a Leading UK Law Firm
relocating colleagues to London
A leading UK legal services firm required a trusted accommodation partner to support a multi-person secondment programme into their London office.
The Enquiry
Checkin Apartments was appointed to manage the end-to-end accommodation solution, ensuring a seamless experience for both the internal People Engagement & HR team and the relocating staff.
Originally planned as temporary housing for legal professionals, the assignment evolved over time, requiring a highly flexible solution that could adapt without disruption to either guests or internal operations.
The internal People Engagement team needed a provider that could:
- Long-term serviced accommodation for multiple colleagues
- Flexibility to accommodate evolving secondment durations
- Reduced administrative burden across booking and extensions
- Consistent standards aligned with corporate policies & standards
- Corporate serviced apartments delivered near offices within a controlled budget of £150–£225 per night / £1050–£1575 per week
Our Solution
The result was a reliable, low-friction accommodation experience that supported both operational efficiency and employee wellbeing.
The Experience
Checkin Apartments delivered a fully managed serviced accommodation solution tailored to the operational demands of secondments for the legal sector.
Flexible by Design for Legal Secondments
Carefully selected 1-bedroom serviced apartments in central London were secured, balancing flexibility, location, and budget suitability for professional London secondments and demanding working schedules. Each property offered strong connectivity to key legal districts including Holborn, Chancery Lane, and the City, with the ability to extend seamlessly as requirements evolved.
Seamless Extension Management
As the assignment progressed, we managed multiple extensions and adjustments without disruption to the guest experience, ensuring continuity of stay and removing administrative pressure from the client team.
On-the-Ground Guest Support
Throughout the stay, we also managed key on-the-ground requirements, including:
- Arrival hampers for new secondees to enhance the welcome experience
- New mattress delivery coordinated on special request
Dedicated End-to-End Account Management
All communication, coordination, and operational updates were handled through a single dedicated account lead, ensuring clear alignment between the guest, internal teams, and operations.
