Scotland's Trusted Corporate Accommodation Partner

Corporate accommodation is the backbone of how modern businesses move people around Scotland — from short executive visits in Edinburgh and Glasgow to multi-month deployments across Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness and the Highlands. At Trade Rentals Scotland, corporate accommodation means fully furnished properties held to consistent standards, negotiated rates that beat nightly hotel pricing, and a single point of contact who owns delivery from booking to check-out.

For finance and procurement teams, the appeal is predictability: transparent weekly rates, consolidated invoicing, VAT-compliant paperwork and clear cancellation terms. For travellers, the appeal is comfort — a real kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, laundry, a dedicated workspace and room to unwind after a long shift. Corporate accommodation is not a luxury upgrade; for stays of a week or more it is almost always cheaper than an equivalent hotel while delivering a materially better experience for the people doing the work.

Contractor accommodation has its own rhythm. Rotas change, mobilisation dates move, and site managers often need to place two, ten or fifty tradespeople within days of winning a package. We build our contractor accommodation offer around that reality: flexible check-in windows, secure parking for vans, room for tools and PPE, and properties within sensible driving distance of active sites — whether that is a wind farm access road in Argyll, a data centre build in the central belt, or a decommissioning project on the east coast.

Every property we place contractors into supports exclusive use for the crew. That means no shared HMO corridors, no strangers using the kitchen at 5am, and no friction between rotations. Crews stay together, decompress together, and turn up to site rested. For principal contractors and sub-contractors alike, this consistency shows up directly in productivity and retention on long jobs.

Workforce housing is where scale meets logistics. When a project needs to house 30, 80 or 200+ workers for months at a time, ad-hoc booking simply does not work — the maths, the compliance, and the welfare implications all break down. Our workforce housing model consolidates capacity across multiple properties in a delivery area, assigns dedicated account management, and runs a shared operations layer for cleaning, maintenance and turnover.

This matters most on remote and semi-remote projects: renewables installations in the north, transmission upgrades across rural Scotland, and infrastructure work in areas with a thin local rental market. By securing blocks of accommodation early and managing them centrally, we protect project timelines from the biggest hidden risk in workforce mobilisation — the day someone doesn't have a bed.

Serviced apartments sit at the intersection of hotel-grade convenience and home-grade space. Every serviced apartment we offer comes fully furnished, professionally cleaned, and equipped with the essentials people forget until they need them: pans that match the hob, a working iron, spare bedding, decent Wi-Fi throughput and a properly lit desk. Utilities, council tax and TV licensing are handled — guests arrive, unpack and get on with their week.

Our serviced apartment portfolio covers Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Perth, Stirling, Fife and the surrounding towns. Unit types range from one-bedroom city-centre apartments for solo travellers up to four- and five-bedroom houses for full crews. Because we work directly with hosts across the country, we can match apartment style, location and price point to the actual brief rather than pushing whatever is left on a hotel rate card.

Business accommodation should be the least stressful part of a trip. When a project engineer, auditor, consultant or executive is travelling to deliver a piece of work, their job is not to chase check-in codes or reconcile receipts. Our business accommodation service takes on the coordination — sourcing, booking, communicating with the host, handling changes, and closing out with a single consolidated invoice.

We work as an extension of internal travel, HR and operations teams. That means we understand approval workflows, cost centres, VAT recovery and the difference between a policy request and a personal preference. If a company already has preferred cities, price caps or duty-of-care requirements, we build those into every quote. Business accommodation done properly is invisible to the traveller and predictable to finance.

Temporary staff housing covers the middle ground that hotels handle badly and long-term lets refuse to touch — stays from one week to six months, often with uncertain end dates. This is exactly where we operate best. Weekly-rate serviced properties absorb rotation changes, extensions and early departures without the penalty structures of a formal tenancy or the price shock of extending a hotel booking a night at a time.

Temporary staff housing is the practical answer to hard operational problems: onboarding a new hire while they relocate, covering a maternity or sickness gap, hosting an interim leadership team during a restructure, or standing up a temporary support crew during a busy season. Because the properties are managed rather than leased, the risk sits with us — not with your HR or facilities team.

Project accommodation is the discipline of aligning where people sleep with what a project needs them to do. It starts before mobilisation — mapping crew numbers against site access, shift patterns and travel time — and continues through demobilisation, when properties need to hand back cleanly on the same day the last worker leaves. Our project accommodation model is built around this timeline, not around calendar months.

Across construction, engineering, energy, offshore, renewables, infrastructure, manufacturing, industrial services and healthcare, the pattern is the same: milestones move, crew mixes change, and the accommodation plan has to flex without renegotiating from scratch every time. We hold that flex on your behalf — negotiating with hosts, absorbing short-notice changes, and keeping your project managers focused on delivery instead of on beds.
