Why Relocation Accommodation Makes Sense

Signing a 12-month tenancy in an unfamiliar city is a significant commitment. Relocation accommodation lets you arrive in Exeter, settle into your new role, and explore different neighbourhoods — before choosing where you want to live long-term.

  • All major bills can be included in one monthly payment
  • Flexible stay length — from 4 weeks upwards
  • Employer invoicing available for corporate relocations

Choosing an Area of Exeter During Your Relocation Period

One of the key benefits of relocation accommodation is that it gives you time to understand Exeter before committing to a permanent base. Different parts of the city suit different lifestyles, commuting patterns, and priorities. Families often look at Heavitree, Pinhoe, or Topsham for school access and a more settled neighbourhood feel. Professionals with city-centre or campus-based roles often prefer Pennsylvania, St Leonards, or Newtown for access and character.

Relocation accommodation removes the pressure of deciding immediately. You can explore the city, understand how different areas feel, and make a well-informed decision about where to settle — rather than picking a long-term home from a hotel room before you have arrived.

Corporate Invoicing and Employer-Funded Stays

Many Exeter employers fund relocation accommodation as part of a relocation package for new starters, senior hires, and transferring employees. Gillams can invoice employers and organisations directly, providing all documentation required for corporate accounts and HR processes.

This removes administrative friction for the employee and ensures the stay is set up cleanly for both parties. To discuss a corporate relocation booking, contact us with your required dates and property preferences. We will advise on what is available and the best approach for invoicing.
