Serviced Accommodation in UK Cities
Serviced accommodation — furnished apartments let on a short-term basis — is one of the UK's fastest-growing property strategies. Guests include business travellers on corporate contracts, NHS locums and healthcare staff, tourists, and families visiting loved ones in hospital. Easy Invest sources and manages SA investments across 18 cities and 130+ areas. Whether you want to stay in a city for work or invest in the SA market there, you'll find everything you need in the guides below.
What Is Serviced Accommodation?
For Guests
Serviced accommodation gives you the space and amenities of a home — kitchen, lounge, laundry — at a competitive nightly rate. Ideal for stays of 3 nights to 3 months, with no hotel cramped feeling. Popular with NHS workers, contractors, and corporate travellers who want more than a hotel room.
For Investors
SA investments typically yield 2–3× the rent of a standard buy-to-let. The strategy works because SA guests pay a premium for flexibility and space, while investors benefit from shorter voids, dynamic pricing, and the ability to capture peak-rate periods around events and conferences.
With Easy Invest
You don't need to run the operation yourself. Easy Invest sources the property or secures the rental agreement, and our management arm Eason Stays handles everything from listing the property on Airbnb and Booking.com to cleaning, guest comms, and monthly reporting.

Corporate Travellers
Professionals on secondment, project crews, and consultants on multi-week engagements prefer SA over hotels for cost and comfort.
Tourists & Short Breaks
City breaks, event trips, and holidays. Higher nightly rates, shorter stays, and peak demand around concerts and sports fixtures.
