Offering comprehensive accommodation solutions for Social Housing organisations

ICAB offers a comprehensive hotel booking service using our extensive bespoke database, containing thousands of hotels with live availability across the UK.

We can advance funds for bookings. Our huge range of hotels include budget and mid-range to ensure that no matter what your instructions are, we will be able to provide suitable accommodation for the resident. We work with major hotel groups, as well as independent and rural hotels to ensure maximum coverage, diversity and flexibility. Our long standing relationships with suppliers enables us to achieve competitive rates on every booking made.

Our highly trained team understand the situation when a home emergency takes place and the urgency of which hotel accommodation is needed, often on the same day of instruction. We aim to make the process as quick and easy as possible during this stressful time by reducing the number of touch points, and keeping all parties informed.

ICAB has access to thousands of serviced apartments, primarily available in city centre locations, throughout the UK. Typically, serviced apartments are suitable for two to twelve week bookings and offer greater independence than hotels.

Our bespoke database contains a large range of serviced apartments, all offering the privacy, comfort and freedom of your own space. They are perfect for when the resident or tenant requires their own cooking and laundry facilities. They’re also a great option for families and for when the decant is likely to exceed four weeks but is too short for a rental property.

Serviced apartments are predominately located in city centres but we do have access to some suppliers offering properties in towns and villages.

We understand no one likes to be decanted from their home and we aim to make finding suitable temporary accommodation as easy as possible. We can advance fund bookings, reduce the number of touch points, and keep all parties informed.

ICAB has a large network of suppliers offering holiday lets and cottages throughout the UK with great coverage in rural areas. They are suitable for bookings in excess of four weeks but under six months.

We have access to a large selection of holiday let properties on our bespoke database, covering both remote and sought after locations. Holiday lets are often a good option for rural areas where other accommodation solutions are limited.

Properties range from small cottages to larger holiday homes, all with cooking and laundry facilities. However, availability can be seasonal and limited during peak holiday season.

We understand having to temporarily relocate is undesirable for the resident and we aim to make the process as easy and simple as possible, reducing the number of touch points, and keeping all parties informed.

ICAB usually recommends a rental property when a decant is likely to exceed twelve weeks. Our highly trained and knowledgeable team can assist the resident with every aspect of the rental process.

We are aware that social housing providers typically favour using their own housing stock, however in our experience this isn’t always possible.

Our dedicated and specialist team assist the resident when a rental property is required, typically suitable for stays of six months and beyond.

Our team help to locate and source suitable rental properties within the budget limits, as well as arrange viewings, assist with any queries in relation to tenancy agreements and deposit schemes, and furnishing properties. We advance funds that are required to secure a property, such as a deposit and the first month’s rent. Thereafter we pay the rent monthly.

We understand the resident may find the idea of a rental property daunting, that’s why we are on hand every step of the way to ease the stress of having to temporarily relocate.
