Who it’s for

For everyone whose plans don’t fit a year.

Contractors & consultants

On a 3–12 month project somewhere away from home. Often expensed; always furnished.

Relocators

New job in a new city. Settle in a furnished home while you decide where you actually want to live.

Between homes

Sold your place, completion on the new one slipped, you need somewhere for three months that feels like home.

International assignees

Coming to the UK on a 3–9 month posting. Right-to-rent verified, no UK credit history needed.

Renovating your home

Big building works at home. Stay close to the builders without sleeping on a friend’s sofa.

Placement students & academics

Term-time placements, visiting research, sabbaticals. Fixed length, fully kitted out, lighter referencing.

Before you book

The things nobody tells you about a long stay.

Four questions every long-stay guest has, answered before you reserve.

After your initial term you can give 30 days’ notice, any time. No exit fee, no penalty for the remaining months.

Initial term

The length you booked

Committed for that period — that is what earns the lower monthly rate.

After it

30 days’ notice, in writing

Rolls monthly from then on. Email your host and the clock starts that day.

Leaving early

Talk to us first

If plans change mid-term we look for a replacement guest with you rather than holding you to the full balance.

Your partGive us the date as soon as you know it.
How it works

From apply to keys, sorted.

01

You apply

Pick your dates on any Extended Stay listing and send your application. The home is held for 48 hours while we review it.

02

Complete referencing

A light ID check — photo ID and a payment method. No employer letter, no credit footprint, no employer call.

03

Sign

We send the Extended Stay Agreement — a plain-English licence — over for e-signing. Usually done inside 24 hours of the application being accepted.

04

Pay deposit & secure

Pay a deposit to secure the home, then settle the balance 14 days before you move in. Bills, Wi-Fi and council tax are already included.

05

Confirm booking

Booking confirmed. Keys ready for collection from 3pm on your check-in day.

The legal bit, in plain English

You sign an Extended Stay Agreement.

That’s a licence to occupy under contract law, not an Periodic Default Tenancy under the Housing Act 1988. In practice, the differences are:

  • Bills, council tax and furniture are part of the contract, not your problem.
  • Your deposit is held by us as the operator, with a published deductions policy.
  • There’s no fixed 12-month term — your initial stay can run anywhere from 30 nights up to a year, then you renew month-to-month. Exact terms vary by property.
  • During your initial stay you’re committed for the booked nights; after that, you can leave with 30 days’ written notice.
What you’ll see

The agreement you sign is one document.

8 pages. Numbered sections. Plain language. We send it to you before you sign and you have 48 hours to read it.

FAQ

Quick answers on Extended Stay.

More questions? See the full tenant FAQ, or ring the office on 0161 4080 100.

Is this the same as an Airbnb?
No. Airbnbs are short-stay holiday lets, regulated differently and priced per-night for a few days at a time. Extended Stay offers furnished homes for stays of 30 nights or more. Available dates, the length of your stay and the terms are confirmed for the individual property.
Can I bring my family?
Choose a home suitable for your household. The agent confirms the permitted occupancy for that property before your stay is agreed.
What about pets and smoking?
Check each home's published conditions. Where those conditions are supplied, the viewing questions flag a mismatch; ask the agent if anything is unclear.
Can I extend if my plans change?
It depends on the property. Many stays roll month-to-month after your initial period — extend 30 nights at a time, 90, longer — but what’s available is set by the owner per listing, so check your booking terms. For very long stays we’ll often suggest converting to a residential tenancy, which can work out cheaper.
What if I leave early?
You're liable for the full stay you booked. Some agreements do allow you to end early — always check your contract for whether early cancellation is possible and any notice you'd need to give.
Do you do shorter stays?
If you need fewer than 30 nights, look at our aparthotel side instead — same furnishing standards, priced per-night.
Can I bring my own furniture?
In most buildings, yes — you're welcome to bring your own furniture. Many Extended Stay units also come fully furnished and move-in ready, so check the listing for what's included.
How does referencing differ?
Light-touch. Photo ID, payment method, and either an employer letter or a statement covering the rent if you're self-funding. No credit footprint, no employer phone call. Most stays are confirmed inside 24 hours of you sending the documents in.
