Relocation stays Canterbury — what we have and where
Looking for relocation accommodation or a temporary place to stay in Canterbury, South East England? These are furnished homes let by the month while you start a new job, move area or wait for a purchase to complete — no tenancy and no referencing; a refundable security deposit applies. We host across Canterbury including Sittingbourne, Maidstone, Medway towns, Faversham, so you can base yourself in the part of town you are house-hunting in. Employers relocating staff near Kemsley paper mill, Sheerness Docks, Medway towns book with us regularly and are invoiced directly. If nothing suits in Canterbury we also host nearby at Kent, Sittingbourne, Maidstone, Chatham, usually on the same commute. Bills, council tax, Wi-Fi and a mid-stay clean are inside one monthly figure, and notice to leave is 30 days.
01A base while you work out where to live in Canterbury
Signing a twelve-month tenancy in an area you do not know yet is the expensive mistake. A relocation stay gives you a furnished home in Canterbury from the day you arrive, so you can start the job, view properties at weekends, get to know the streets and school runs, and only commit once you are sure.
02When a chain breaks or completion slips
Sold but not completed, or completing weeks before you can move in? We take bookings at short notice and extend them week by week, so a delay of a fortnight or two months does not mean a hotel, storage bills and living out of a suitcase. Furniture stays in store; you move into a house that is already equipped.
03Room for the family and the car
Most homes are whole houses — several bedrooms, a proper kitchen, a living room, a washing machine and usually driveway parking. Cots and travel beds can be arranged, and many homes take pets on request, so a move does not mean rehoming the dog.
04Relocating staff and secondments around Kent
Employers place relocating staff and secondments with us near Kemsley paper mill, Sheerness Docks, Medway towns, M2 and other sites around Kent. The company can be invoiced directly with receipts for expenses, and one contact handles extensions or a swap to a different home.
05Pricing and notice
Stays past 28 nights move onto monthly pricing with bills, council tax, Wi-Fi and a mid-stay clean included, so there is one figure to budget and nothing to set up in your name. Standard notice to leave is 30 days — no tenancy to break; a refundable security deposit applies.

09Monthly relocation rates in Canterbury
Rates are quoted per property, not per person, so a family or a relocating colleague pays one figure. Discounts may be available from 7 nights, and from 28 nights the stay moves onto monthly pricing which is materially cheaper per night than nightly rates or an aparthotel. Energy, water, council tax, broadband and a mid-stay clean sit inside that figure, and every confirmed booking takes a refundable security deposit — the amount and refund terms are confirmed before payment.
10Who books relocation stays in Canterbury
New starters and secondments, NHS and education staff, families between houses, people renovating a property they have just bought, landlords displaced by works, and companies moving employees into the area. Employers are invoiced directly with receipts suitable for a relocation package.
11Relocation stays vs a tenancy or a hotel in Canterbury
A tenancy means referencing, a six or twelve month commitment and setting up utilities in your name. A hotel means no kitchen, no laundry and a per-person cost that stacks up over a month. A furnished monthly stay sits between the two: move in the day you arrive, everything already connected, and 30 days' notice when your own place is ready.
12How to book a relocation stay in Canterbury
Send the area or postcode you need to be near, your start date, how many adults and children, whether there is a pet and roughly how long you expect to stay. We reply with the homes genuinely free, the monthly figure, the deposit and what is included, then confirm with ID and payment — usually the same day.
