DMr sources a temporary relocation solution for a senior manager relocating from Ireland to Manchester.
The Guest – Mr Mulholland
DMr was approached in March 2015 to assist with the relocation of a senior manager (Martin) to Manchester. He would be working in Manchester on a major infrastructure project in the City Centre before returning home for weekends in Ireland to be with his family.
The Brief
The brief was to source a 2 bedroom furnished property with parking and good transport networks to the City Centre as well as Manchester Airport.
The property was required ASAP and had to be within the specified budget of £950 per calendar month. Due to the size of the construction company it was a requirement for the letting agent to use the client’s tenancy contract also.
The Process
The consultation process was swift due to the requirements of Martin and within three days of the instruction, ten properties were arranged to view matching the guest’s requirements. All the properties researched were within the South Manchester area and at the end of the viewing day, Martin had a shortlist of his three favourite properties.
Martin opted for the popular development in Citi Peak, Didsbury due to the size and furniture quality of the apartment as well as its location to transport networks. All negotiations were met to bring the standard of the apartment to the requirement DMr demands as well as the guest’s corporate tenancy agreement being used. From the initial instruction to getting the keys for the apartment, the total time frame was within twelve days.

The Feedback
Martin was very happy as he was able to have a Manchester home rather than living out of a suitcase and informal hotels. His main appreciation was for the kitchen as he was able to cook for himself again rather than having to eat out each evening.
Costs wise, the client saved approximately 45% – 55% on the housing allowance when
compared to their previous policy of Martin being housed in hotels. When taking these percentages into account over a one-year period, it will result in thousands of pounds in savings for the company whilst providing Martin with a better quality of living whilst working.
