How We Deliver Decant Accommodation for Housing Teams

Rather than coordinating multiple accommodation providers, your team benefits from a dedicated account manager who oversees sourcing, bookings, extensions and ongoing support.

Flexible Accommodation for Changing Timelines

Building projects don't always run to schedule. We source accommodation with the flexibility to extend stays, arrange additional units and adapt to changing programme requirements without unnecessary disruption to residents.
Well located furnished apartments

Keeping Residents Close to Home

Using our extensive accommodation network, we help place residents close to schools, healthcare providers, workplaces, family networks and local support services wherever possible.

Accommodation Tailored to Resident Needs

From families and vulnerable residents to those requiring accessible accommodation, we match residents with suitable housing that reflects their individual requirements.

Supporting Resident Wellbeing

We focus on placing residents in comfortable, fully furnished serviced apartments that provide the space, privacy and facilities needed to maintain normal daily routines throughout the relocation period.

Managing Large-Scale Relocations

Whether you need accommodation for one household or hundreds of residents, we can source and manage multiple apartments across different locations through a single, coordinated solution.

Proven Experience with Large-Scale Rehousing Programmes

When a major London housing provider required accommodation support for a large-scale resident rehousing programme, Checkin Apartments was appointed to source temporary accommodation capable of supporting both immediate placements and future programme growth.

Working against tight deadlines and evolving project requirements, our team rapidly assembled a portfolio of accommodation options across London, providing flexibility, scalability and resident choice.

Making Resident Displacement More Manageable

Serviced apartments provide a more practical and cost-effective alternative.

Delighted to have found a lovely furnished apartment with Checkin Apartments. Gavin was very knowledgable and helpful. When our initial rental was no longer suitable (I broke my foot and needed a more accessible option) Gavin was on the case with a solution before we even knew there was an issue. Very happy to recommend their service.

Why Serviced Apartments?

Traditional hotel accommodation often creates challenges for residents who may need to remain displaced for weeks or months. Serviced apartments provide a more practical and cost-effective alternative.

Ready-to-move-in

Serviced apartments are fully furnished and equipped for short or long stays. Furniture, appliances, bed linen and towels are provided so you can move in and start living straight away and settle into your temporary home.

Flexible & Cost-effective Leases

Serviced apartments are more cost-effective to book than a hotel and more flexible to book than longer term rentals providing the perfect solution in between for stays between 2 to 12 weeks or more.

Cleaning and bills included

A regular cleaning service with linen and towel changes and all utility bills are included during your stay. Less to worry about so you can get on with the more important things in life.
Child-friendly facilities

Space for the family

With more space to spread out and live, serviced apartments are particularly suited to families who need to relocate offering convenient home comforts like kitchens and laundry facilities. Baby cots and extra beds can be provided in some apartments for children of all ages.
Pet friendly serviced apartments

Pets welcome

Many serviced apartments welcome pets and offer pet-friendly amenities (for an extra charge), making it easier for your furry family members to move with you and adjust to their new homes.

24/7 support

Rest assured there's always a 24 hour helpline available when you stay in a serviced apartment should you need any assistance.
