The renovation is disruptive enough. Finding somewhere to live shouldn't be.
Moving out during a major renovation sounds simple until you actually try to find somewhere.
Holiday lets
Designed around nights and weekends. Availability changes, prices move, and staying for months can mean constantly negotiating extensions.
Serviced apartments
Brilliant for a week or two. Very different by month four with children, school bags, washing, work calls and half your belongings.
Traditional rentals
They solve the space problem, but are rarely designed around an uncertain building programme. You may not know if you need four months or eight until the build is underway.
Living with family
Generous, and genuinely appreciated. Not always sustainable for a whole season.
Renovation Stay exists specifically for the gap in the middle: a real family home, close to your real life, for however long the renovation takes.
Keep your life. Change your address for a while.
A major renovation already changes enough.
Stay local
Keep the same school run, commute, clubs, friends and routines — and stay close enough to your renovation to meet the builder without turning every site visit into a journey.
Live properly
A family home, not corporate accommodation. A proper kitchen, separate living spaces, garden, laundry, parking and room for the things you don't want to put into storage.
Move straight in
Furnished and equipped, with broadband already running. Utilities, council tax, weekly cleaning and a weekly gardener are included, so you're not setting up a second household while rebuilding the first.
Stay flexible
Building programmes move and completion dates slip — occasionally you finish early. The arrangement is designed around that reality, with monthly flexibility subject to availability and the agreed terms.
Why we did this
We created the thing we wished we could find.
We have been through a full home renovation ourselves. When it was time to move out, we found an awkward gap in the rental market. We were not going on holiday, we were not relocating, and we did not want somewhere for the next two years. We simply needed a proper family home for the months in between — close enough that the school run and the commute did not change, and furnished enough that we did not have to build a second home from scratch.
Most of all, we needed something flexible enough to survive the four most dangerous words in any renovation: “it should be finished by…”
Look around the houseOne price. Far less admin.
£7,500 per calendar month
No nightly pricing, no seasonal rate roulette and no separate utility accounts to open and close. The monthly price includes the house as described — white goods, washer and dryer, TVs and blinds or curtains throughout — plus council tax, gas, electricity, water, broadband, weekly cleaning, a weekly gardener, a professional deep clean before and after your stay, and a check-in and check-out agent — which is useful when almost every other line of a renovation budget seems determined to change.
Check available datesHow it works
Step 1
Tell us roughly when you need the house
Choose your expected months, even if your builder is still describing the programme as “approximately”.
Step 2
Tell us a little about your renovation
Where you are renovating, who will be staying and roughly what work you are having done.
Step 3
We speak
This is a home rather than a hotel booking, so we will have a conversation before anything is agreed.
Step 4
We sort the details
Once it looks right for both sides, we deal with the rental agreement, references, deposit and practical arrangements. Where useful, we may also speak to your builder or architect about the likely programme.
Step 5
Move in and carry on
We arrange the check-in agent and the deep clean beforehand, so you arrive to a house that is ready and let the builders have the dust.
Step 6
Move back home
When the build finally finishes, tell us and we will handle the check-out and the after-stay clean. You go back to your own house, and we get ours ready for the next family.
Close enough to stay involved. Far enough away to escape it.

Short term lets in Weybridge, by the calendar month
If you are searching for short term lets in Weybridge or a short term let in Surrey, this is a whole family house rather than a room, a serviced apartment or a nightly holiday rental. It is let by the calendar month with a minimum of one month, and while it is built around renovation programmes, families moving between houses, waiting on a completion date or relocating for a season ask about it too. Tell us your dates and we will tell you honestly whether it fits.

Living in Weybridge for a season
Schools, the Waterloo line, the river and the site visit. What it is like to base a family in Weybridge for a handful of months during a build.
Your builders can have the building site. You can still have a home.
Tell us when you are planning to move out and roughly when your builder believes you will be moving back in. If the months you need look busy, enquire anyway — renovation programmes move in both directions.
Check availabilityNo payment when you enquire. We speak first and make sure the arrangement works for everyone.
