Why a “Turnkey” Move is the Secret to a Successful Relocation

Moving house is famously cited as one of life’s most stressful events. Now, imagine adding an international flight, a new job, and a different country into the mix. For many, the “dream move” quickly turns into a logistical nightmare of empty rooms, air mattresses, and endless takeaway boxes while waiting for a shipping container to arrive.

At Instant Home, we believe the first night in a new city shouldn’t feel like a survival exercise. That’s why we don’t just offer furniture rental; we offer a Turnkey Solution.

But what does “Turnkey” mean in practice?  It’s the difference between a house and a home.

Our turnkey service is designed to make you feel at home, instantly.

What’s Included in the Instant Home Turnkey Experience?

We’ve refined our process over 25 years to anticipate exactly what you need, when you need it most!

🔑 Co-ordinated Key Collection

You don’t need to be there to let us in. We coordinate directly with letting agents or relocation managers to collect keys, ensuring the property is ready before you even reach the front door.

🛋 Full Installation

Our “nothing is too much trouble” delivery team places every piece of furniture ensuring the layout is functional and stylish.

🛌 “First Night” Essentials

We don’t just deliver a bed; when you order a linen pack we make up the bed with fresh, high-quality linens.

☕️ A Ready-to-Use Kitchen

We unpack your kitchen rental items, from kettles and toasters to cutlery and crockery, so you can make a cup of tea from the moment you walk in. In fact, we also provide a complimentary Hamper containing tea, coffee and other first night essentials, to help make you feel at home instantly.

Why This is a Game-Changer for HR & Relocation Managers

For those managing the move of a valuable employee, the turnkey solution isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s a strategic advantage, here’s why:

✅ Minimised Productivity Loss: An employee who isn’t spending their first week building flat-pack furniture is an employee who is focused on their new role.

✅ Significant Cost Savings: Moving an employee directly into a long-term rental with our furniture is often more cost-effective than 12 weeks in a serviced apartment.

✅ Family Wellness: The number 1 reason international assignments fail is family dissatisfaction. Walking into a warm, fully-functioning home reduces culture shock and helps the whole family settle instantly.

✅ A Greener Solution: Our turnkey solutions are built on the principles of the circular economy, we procure high-quality furniture designed to last and be reused.

Whether you’re a letting agent looking to secure a premium tenant, a HR or relocation manager planning a national or international relocation, or an individual making the move yourself, let us handle the heavy lifting.

With Instant Home, you don’t just rent furniture. You gain the peace of mind that comes from knowing that when you turn the key, you’re already home.
