As global business travel and flexible working continue to evolve, corporate apartments have become a preferred solution for executives, relocating professionals, project teams, and long-stay business travellers. Offering the privacy of a home with the convenience of a hotel, corporate apartments combine comfort, security, and cost-efficiency — making them a strategic choice for companies and an opportunity for property investors.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
