Who we host
Whoever needs
Whoever needs
a real address —
for a fortnight or four.
Not for everyone. For people who’d rather text the owner than chase an agent — and who want a working kitchen, a real bed, and a front door of their own while they’re here.

Who Stays With Us
Six kinds of guest,
Six kinds of guest,
one kind of house.
-
i
Contractors & engineers
The biggest part of what we do. Saltend, Hull refineries and the rolling Yorkshire industrial projects; long-running Medway construction; London commercial fit-outs. Whole houses for crews of three to seven, parking on the door, an actual kitchen at the end of the shift — not a Travelodge breakfast bar.

ii
Corporate relocations
The bridge between the airport hotel and a six-month tenancy. New role, new city, family arriving in a month — you need somewhere proper to land that’s not your employer’s problem. We rent by the fortnight, by the month, by the season. No agency fees, no holding deposits, no fuss.

iii
Insurance decants & home displacement
Flood, fire, leak, structural — when a claim leaves a family without their home, the loss-adjuster needs somewhere within forty-eight hours. We work with claims handlers and direct policy-holders to step in fast, and we’ll quote rates straight to the underwriter on request.

Visiting professionals
Locum doctors and contracted clinicians at HRI and the Medway trusts. Visiting academics and PhD examiners at the University of Hull. Consultants on long client assignments. Anyone whose stay has a definite start date, a definite end date, and a need for a proper desk in between.
-
v
Film, TV & production crews
Cast, crew, runners, producers. Whole-house lets for shoots in Hull’s creative quarter, Rochester’s period streets and South London. Block bookings, late check-ins, early call sheets — we’ll work around your schedule.
-
vi
Families between homes
Mid-move, mid-renovation, mid-life-change. A real house for a real chapter — with room for the kids, somewhere to do laundry, and a kitchen worth cooking in.
What’s Different
Three things,
Three things,
kept simple.
Houses, not boxes.
Each one chosen and refurbished by the same person. New kitchens, real beds, art on the walls. You’re staying in a home that someone’s put thought into — not a unit on a spreadsheet.
England’s quieter half.
Hull, Bromley, Rochester. Properly liveable cities that the bigger operators overlook — near the universities, near the hospitals, near the projects, but never at central-London prices.
Tell us your stay.
Where, when, how long — and we’ll come back the same day with what we’ve got.
