Furniture Packages

Tailored property furnishing solutions

 

We have been providing corporate housing services since 2001, so have significant experience in the various options available for furnishing properties where the local rental market is predominantly unfurnished, or a consistent standard of furnishings is required across a portfolio of properties.

Developing a cost effective alternative

Rental furniture has traditionally been the most popular choice for providing short term furniture packages and remains a convenient solution for interim requirements. However, we identified the need for a more cost effective answer to longer term needs of 6 months or more,which could be closely tailored to meet client’s requirements and applied across a number of properties to ensure a consistent experience for transferees.

In response, we developed a furniture purchase service, which has been adopted by a number of our clients with regular short term or project based assignees in the UK, where we agree with each client the type and quality of items to be provided to each property and this can be entirely bespoke to suit the assignee population. For instance, for some project based teams from the sub-continent, we have supplied specific Indian cookware and utensils to help the assignees settle in quickly.

Once the list of items and furnishings has been agreed, Icon manages the acquisition, installation and rotation of the furniture, dressing new properties as they are brought into management and arranging maintenance or replacement of any damaged items.

The key benefits of the furniture purchase service are:

• Volume purchasing power allows us to buy the furnishings and fittings at a considerably discounted rate
• Initial capital outlay typically recouped in 6-9 months when compared to rental furniture
• Highly tailored inventory, provided consistently to all employees
• All properties are fully dressed ready for the employee to move in
• Complete property package through to cookware and electrical items
• Minimises dilapidation costs typically experienced with rented properties
• Damaged items can be quickly dealt with by Icon staff and repaired/replaced as necessary
