Corporate Housing in Scotland
Corporate housing sits between a hotel and a residential tenancy: a fully furnished home, booked on business terms, for the length of an assignment. Trade Rentals provides corporate housing across Scotland — Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Inverness and the towns in between.
Every property is exclusive use. Your employee, family or project team has the whole house or apartment for the duration of the stay — no shared rooms, no HMOs, no hotel corridors. Bills, broadband and cleaning are built into a single nightly or monthly rate billed to your company.
Typical stays run from one month to two years: senior hires relocating into Scotland, consultants on extended engagements, secondees, interim managers and technical teams supporting a plant, campus or capital programme.
Corporate housing vs hotels and residential tenancies
A hotel makes sense for three nights and stops making sense somewhere around the third week: no kitchen, no laundry, no space to live, and a nightly rate that never improves. A residential tenancy solves the space problem but hands your company a deposit, a utility switchover, a council tax account and a fixed term that rarely matches the assignment.
Corporate housing removes both problems. One inclusive rate covers rent, council tax, energy, broadband, insurance and cleaning; the term matches the placement; and the contract sits with the company rather than the employee, so nobody is personally liable for a home they were sent to live in.
How to brief us for a corporate housing placement
The four things that decide the shortlist are the work location, the start date, the expected duration and who is travelling — a single hire, a couple, a family with school-age children or a technical team. Tell us those and we can usually come back inside 24 hours with real, available options rather than a brochure.
It's also worth telling us the awkward constraints early: pets, accessibility requirements, a car that needs off-street parking, or a budget signed off per month rather than per night. Those shape the shortlist far more than the city does, and they're much cheaper to accommodate before a booking than after.

Energy Sector in Scotland
Scotland's energy sector is the single biggest driver of demand for corporate housing. Operators, EPC contractors and consultancies place commercial, engineering and environmental staff on multi-year programmes in Aberdeen, Fife, the Highlands and the Moray Firth.
Offshore wind, hydrogen and grid reinforcement projects rarely fit a hotel budget: teams stay for months, work irregular hours and need kitchens, laundry and quiet space. Corporate housing is materially cheaper per head and better for retention.
We also support decommissioning, nuclear and transmission programmes where staff are placed for 12–36 months and need a genuine home base rather than serviced short-let churn.
