Life often throws unexpected challenges our way, like when your home requires insurance repairs due to isolated events or large-scale natural disasters.

Last year alone, extreme weather events cost Australian insurers more than AU$7 billion, according to the Insurance Council of Australia. That doesn’t include the impact of other damage caused by burst pipes, electrical faults, fallen trees, and more. Whatever the damage, the experience of undergoing home repairs through your insurance company and having to relocate while those repairs are made can be overwhelming.

In this post, we’ll delve into the hurdles that those requiring temporary accommodation may encounter and explore how our expertise in emergency relocation ensures a reassuring and settled experience during this trying period.
Please note that this information is general in nature and does not take into account your personal situation. Check with your insurance company to see what you’re covered for and be sure to refer to your insurance company PDS for more information.

What happens when I can’t stay in my home after it’s damaged?

When your home becomes uninhabitable due to significant damage, it means that the living conditions are no longer safe, functional, or suitable for occupancy. There can be many different causes, such as fire, flooding, structural damage, severe mould infestations, or other catastrophic events. When your home is deemed uninhabitable, you will need to make alternative living arrangements while repairs are made.

Your insurance company can provide you with guidance on what’s covered and help you understand your policy’s provisions when alternate living arrangements are needed. It is recommended that you keep detailed records, take video footage as events are unfolding (if safe to do so), take photos of the damage, and track any expenses related to your temporary housing.

Many home insurance policies include coverage for additional living expenses (ALE) when your home becomes uninhabitable due to a loss covered by your policy. Some insurers may cover and settle the costs incurred for alternative accommodation directly, and others may reimburse you for things like temporary accommodation, meals, and other living expenses. When your policy covers alternate accommodation, some insurers will provide a few different options for you to choose from.

The timeline for repairs can vary widely depending on the assessment process, the extent of the damage, and the availability of materials and contractors. It’s important to maintain communication with those involved in the repair process to get regular updates on progress. This will allow you to plan and be prepared.

Challenges of temporary accommodation

Being uprooted from the comfort of your home and placed in temporary accommodation can be overwhelming. Our residents often grapple with several challenges during this transitional phase.

You may experience delays when dealing with your insurance claim, resulting in an uncertain return-home date. Disrupted routines, and unfamiliar surroundings can amplify feelings of stress and unease, leading you to feel uncomfortable.

Coping with the emotional toll of displacement can leave you feeling disconnected and isolated from your usual support systems, and the loss of your home, property, and valuable items, especially those of sentimental value can leave you feeling a sense of grief.

Amidst the chaos, the longing for the familiarity and warmth of one’s own home and uncertainty around timeframes can further compound emotional stress.

8 ways to cope with home displacement

While there’s no place like home, finding the right temporary accommodation can offer you a welcoming home-away-from-home that aligns with your needs, leaving you feeling comfortable, supported, and reassured.

Here are some important things to consider when searching for temporary accommodation.

1. Personalised Spaces: Look for thoughtfully designed accommodation to reflect your preferences, cultivating a sense of familiarity and personalisation. From furnishings and appliances to decor, your accommodation provider should work with you to recreate the feeling of home.
2. Supportive Community: Look for a provider who fosters a sense of community by bringing together individuals who share similar experiences. They should offer avenues for connection, easing feelings of isolation, and provide a place where you feel like you belong.
3. Homely Amenities: Your temporary lodgings should be equipped with the comforts you treasure at home. Think fully equipped kitchens, cozy living areas, and private bedrooms, allowing you to maintain routines and enjoy home-cooked meals. Laundry facilities, kitchen appliances like microwaves and dishwashers, and items to make you feel at home should be provided.
4. Convenient Location: Look for properties located in convenient proximity to supermarkets, retailers, cafes, restaurants, schools, and civic amenities. A place that provides you easy access to work, loved ones, and if you have children, convenience to childcare, schools, and extracurricular activities. Proximity to pursue your favourite leisure activities, like a morning walk or afternoon run, should be considered too, for example, are nice walking trails or running paths close by.
5. Respecting Your Privacy: Your accommodation provider should recognise the value of privacy and offer accommodation where you can retreat and unwind after a demanding day. Bedrooms that are separated from communal spaces like the kitchen and living areas is important to maintaining that sense of retreat. Your provider should offer the flexibility to request housekeeping service when it’s convenient to you.
6. Compassionate Assistance: Look for a dedicated and experienced team to guide you through the emergency accommodation process and make it a seamless experience. They should offer support and practical aid as you navigate through your insurance claim and home restoration and the challenges that go hand-in-hand with that. Unavoidable delays in repairs can have a significant impact, leading you to experience frustration, anger, uncertainty, and restlessness. As you navigate a wide range of emotions, having the support of a team of people that you can talk to about your situation makes all the difference.
7. Experienced in Insurance Relocations: Look for a provider that is experienced in looking after insurance claim relocations. They should work closely with you to understand the progress of your home repairs to minimise further disruption to your stay, as claims can often take longer than first anticipated.
8. Pet Friendly: Find an accommodation provider that is pet friendly, and who understands how important your pets are to you. They will welcome your pet as warmly as you!

Moving to an unfamiliar destination can be an exhilarating yet daunting experience.

Whether you’re relocating for career opportunities, military service, international adventures, during home repairs and renovations, or simply seeking a change of scenery, securing the right accommodation for an extended stay is pivotal to a smooth transition.

With a myriad of accommodation options available to you, demystifying the complexities and choices is important to creating a positive transition for you.

In this article, we’ll delve into the realm of relocation accommodation, explore the hurdles that travellers often face, unveil our top recommendations for streamlining your extended stay accommodation selection, and demonstrate how Aligned Corporate Residences excels at providing a warm, welcoming, and expertly curated accommodation experience, tailored to create the comforts of home for you.

Preparing for a seamless relocation

The feelings you experience when relocating can be a whirlwind of excitement, anticipation, and curiosity. It’s important to embrace these emotions and lean on your support network when needed. Regardless of your reason for relocating, meticulous planning, adaptability, and an openness to change will ease your transition into your new surroundings.

When it comes to relocations, there’s a lot to consider, from researching your new locale and finding the perfect accommodation that caters to your unique needs, to organising the logistics of moving, settling into your workplace, and immersing yourself in the local community. The to-do list can seem never-ending, especially if you’re moving with your loved ones or cherished pets.

Relocations can be made simple by leveraging the expertise of relocation professionals, and selecting service providers who champion your journey. AltoVita, K2 Mobility, Elite Woodhams Relocation, and Sirva Relocations are a few relocations professionals that can assist you. If you’re relocating for work, your organisation may have established connections with reputable relocation companies or be able to offer valuable recommendations to facilitate your transition.

You might be wondering what that support looks like. Well, it differs depending on your organisation and what support processes are in place.

Some companies will organise temporary accommodation for your first few weeks in your new destination while you find your forever home. Some may appoint a local consultant, like Dovetailer, who will act as a guide, driving you around to look at schools and residential properties helping you find the right fit for you. Depending on the level of support provided, some relocation companies will even help pack up your home for you! We recommend you consult your organisation’s Human Resources department to find out more about the relocation support available to you.

Understanding relocation accommodation

Relocation accommodation encompasses temporary housing solutions tailor-made for individuals, colleagues, and families embarking on an extended stay in a new destination.

This category of accommodation is known by various names, such as temporary housing, corporate housing, extended stay lodging, relocation housing, or transitional accommodation, among others. Whatever you call it, relocation accommodation occupies a unique niche, straddling the realms of short-term corporate lodging and conventional long-term lease agreements.

Unlike conventional short-term accommodations, relocation housing (or relocation accommodation) offers the cozy comforts of home, making it an ideal choice for those in search of familiarity, flexibility, and convenience during their transition to a new location.

While often labelled as “temporary,” relocation accommodation can serve as a home away from home for the duration of your relocation, whether it’s a short assignment, a longer-term arrangement, or an indefinite stay.

Relocation accommodation should provide you with:

• Tasteful furnishings, allowing you to relax and unwind after a long day at work.
• Modern kitchen appliances, so you can maintain healthy eating habits, from a daily juice to cooking the family roast.
• Convenient in-home laundry facilities, including enough laundry powder to get you settled in.
• Essential utility connections, so you don’t need to worry about connecting them yourself.
• Private balconies or terraces to invite the outdoors in.
• Secure car parking that is onsite and easy to access.
• Vigilant security measures.
• Access to recreational and lifestyle amenities.
• Payment options and plans.

From hotel rooms and serviced apartments to Airbnb’s and traditional residential leases, there are many accommodation options available to you. To help you understand the nuances, we’ve written an article comparing relocation accommodation options.

Overcoming the challenges of relocation accommodation

Relocating to a new area brings its share of challenges. On one hand, you anticipate the excitement of a fresh chapter, but practicalities can present unexpected hurdles.

Adjusting to a new environment, navigating unfamiliar streets, and grappling with the emotional strain of leaving behind familiar surroundings and loved ones can be difficult. Add the stress of finding suitable accommodation, establishing a sense of belonging, and forming new social connections in uncharted territory, and the task may seem insurmountable.

Anticipating these challenges is pivotal to ensuring a smooth and successful relocation.

Here’s our list of the 5 essential elements to consider when seeking extended stay accommodation.

5 key factors to consider when selecting extended stay accommodation

When you’re on the hunt for the perfect extended-stay accommodation, pay close attention to the following:

1. Comfort and Convenience: Your chosen accommodation should epitomise the comforts of home, offering well-furnished spaces, inviting bedrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen with appliances such as a full-sized fridge and dishwasher. Seek providers that include utility connections including high-speed Wi-Fi, and regular housekeeping service. Be sure to consider the layout of your apartment, and the number of bedrooms you need. If you need a dedicated place to work from home, be certain your provider will accommodate that.
2. Location: Opt for accommodation close to your workplace, essential amenities, educational institutions, and recreational venues. Consider important amenities that align with your lifestyle. Look for an accommodation provider that offers a concierge service to help connect you to these amenities. This strategic positioning will save you valuable time and enhance your overall experience.
3. Flexibility: Life during relocation can be unpredictable. Project timelines can change, contracts can be extended, or finding your permanent home didn’t take as long as you anticipated. Favor providers offering flexible terms to adapt to unforeseen changes in your plans.
4. Personalised Experience: You have unique preferences. Consider how your accommodation provider can tailor their offering to your specific needs, creating the comforts of home for you. Select a provider who listens attentively to your requirements and tailors their offerings to create a bespoke experience that resonates with you. If you’re relocating with a beloved pet, explore pet-friendly accommodation options and understand any associated fees.
5. Making connections: Relocating to a new area can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation. Consider accommodation providers who make you feel like you belong and value your wellbeing. Opt for a provider that fosters a sense of community, providing opportunities to interact with fellow residents and engage with the local community.
