  • Corporate Human Resource & International Mobility Professionals who manage their assignees' relocation into and out of the UK.
  • Relocation Agents & Global Vendor Management Companies who work on behalf of corporate clients and manage their newly arriving assignees' expectations, including finding property and furniture when needed.
  • Individual Corporate Assignees (perhaps those without assisted relocation packages) who need rental furniture. It's often a cheaper option than making the capital outlay of buying furniture.
  • Investor Landlords, letting agents, private tenants (for rental and home staging).(Furniture rental payments are fully deductible as a business expense under Section 74 of the UK Taxes Act.) (You can enhance your investment property for sale or rent with instant, good quality furniture from TFRC.)

Here's just one scenario of a typical furniture rental requirement…

An American banker, (possibly with family) relocates to UK to start a 1-2 year international assignment. They arrive well in advance of their shipment (containing their furniture) which will take 4/6 weeks to reach the UK.

Does the company put them into expensive temporary accommodation for the duration? No, that's very expensive. Does the assignee (or family) need the stress of trying to maintain family life in a hotel or serviced apartment? No!

The Solution and Benefits?

  • The family moves straight into their newly found long term accommodation shortly after arrival.
  • We provide them with rental furniture and accessories, creating an instant home for them quickly and efficiently whilst they wait for their own effects to arrive. When they do, we simply remove our furniture.
  • The family settles quickly: the kids start school and get used to the school run. The assignee commutes to work and gets used to the journey. The accompanying partner gets to grips with the new home and the locality. It's a much cheaper option than staying in temporary accommodation.
