Fraser Bond specialises in sourcing, managing, and advising on corporate apartments across London and the wider UK, supporting both occupiers and landlords in this growing segment of the real estate market.


What Are Corporate Apartments?

Corporate apartments (also known as serviced apartments or executive accommodation) are fully furnished rental units tailored for business travellers and corporate clients, typically available on a short to medium-term basis.

They offer:

  • Fully equipped kitchens and laundry facilities

  • Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and workspaces

  • Weekly cleaning and concierge options

  • Utilities and council tax included in one bill

  • Flexible contracts (from 1 week to 6+ months)

These apartments are found in prime urban locations, often near financial districts, business parks, and transport hubs.


Who Uses Corporate Apartments?

Corporate apartments are ideal for:

  • Relocating professionals and expatriates on assignment

  • Consultants and contractors on short-term projects

  • Executives attending conferences, training, or mergers

  • HR and mobility teams coordinating employee housing

  • Film crews, tech workers, and NHS staff needing temporary stays

With more businesses adopting hybrid work and international mobility, demand for high-quality, serviced accommodation continues to rise.


Benefits of Corporate Apartments

1. Cost-Effective Compared to Hotels

For extended stays, corporate apartments:

  • Offer better value per night than hotels

  • Eliminate costly food and laundry bills

  • Avoid hidden extras with all-inclusive pricing

This is especially important for budget-conscious corporate travel managers.

2. Privacy and Productivity

  • Guests enjoy the space and comfort of a private residence

  • Dedicated areas for work and rest support productivity

  • No disruption from hotel corridors or daily housekeeping

It’s a professional and respectful environment for senior executives and long-stay guests.

3. Flexible Stays

  • Easy check-in/check-out processes

  • Scalable housing for short-term or indefinite projects

  • Options for rolling monthly contracts or fixed durations

This flexibility supports changing project timelines, relocations, or probation periods.

4. Prime Locations

Corporate apartments are strategically located in:

  • Central London (Mayfair, Canary Wharf, City of London)

  • Business hubs (Reading, Cambridge, Manchester, Edinburgh)

  • Transport corridors and near major companies or government buildings

Fraser Bond ensures access to well-positioned, secure properties tailored to client needs.
