UK-based Livinc, part of the Parklane Group and a specialist in residential lettings, has announced the launch of a new booking platform for medium and long term stays to meet the growing demand for flexible and furnished accommodation in the UK and internationally.
The platform already includes more than 20,000 listings and allows bookings from one night to a year, targeting business people, remote workers from their place of residence and travellers looking for extended holidays. The apartments are fully furnished, with high-speed Wi-Fi, ergonomic workspaces and built-in operating costs.
Livinc offers flexibility in bookings, without binding contracts, and rewards the first users with a 50% discount for stays over 7 days or 10% for stays over 3 months, using the code DISCOUNTLIV.
Major multinationals such as KPMG, Google, McKinsey & Company, JP Morgan and Shell are already using Livinc’s services, and the platform features sophisticated tools such as an RFP (request-for-proposal) system and analytics to support corporate clients.
Livinc also allows users to customize their search criteria based on location, price, duration and apartment features, with availability in key destinations such as London, Dubai, Cape Town and other cities.
