About us

Roam Accommodation was set up by Lisa and Ali in 2022 to provide short-term serviced accommodation. Whether it’s for a few days or a few months, we would love to have you stay with us!

Our aim is to provide quality accommodation, with a personal service, and a home from home feel – the kinds of places we would want to stay in ourselves. Where you have the privacy of your own place to stay, and all of the creature comforts of home, along with someone you can call if you need something during your stay. 

Roam Accommodation came about because Lisa noticed that her lettings agency was getting more and more requests from people looking for somewhere short-term (not something the agency could help with as a tenancy has to be a minimum of six months). While Ali travels a lot, has relocated multiple times, and has often struggled to find suitable places to stay, always preferring a home rather than a hotel where possible. So we decided to help with both of those issues and set up our short-term accommodation business.

As well as Roam Accommodation which we run together, we also have separate property and business interests. Lisa has years of experience in property lettings and currently manages a portfolio of 300 rental properties. Ali has a holiday let business in Spain, plus a fashion consultancy business which led to a love of colour and design which she brings into our properties. We both own buy-to-let investment properties in London and Essex, and are also members of a network of property professionals across with country with decades of experience – if we don’t know the answer to a property problem, we probably know someone who will!

We are always looking to connect with more people, whether you’re looking for accommodation and can’t find something suitable, or you’re a landlord or investor with a property problem.

If you’re looking for short-term accommodation in Essex or East London, whether for yourself, or colleagues, or you’re a relocation agent, please get in touch to discuss your needs and we’ll do our best to find suitable accommodation for you. We have extensive contacts with rental agents and landlords in the local area, and we may be able to find and furnish a new property to suit your needs.

If you’re a landlord, we are actively looking to take on more properties, so do get in touch if you’d like to discuss how we can work together. We are always happy to help solve property problems where we can. It might be you’re worried about increasing mortgage rates, or you’ve had problems tenants, or new requirements are causing you headaches (all things we can help with). We are both landlords ourselves and understand the impact of all the changes over the last few years. We can provide a hassle-free management service, or guaranteed rent for peace of mind, for example. Or we can just be a sounding board to help with extra ideas to see if we can find a solution to your property problem. Do get in touch if you’d like to discuss further.

If there’s anything else we can help with, feel free to get in touch. And we hope you come and stay with us soon!
