What we offerTemporary Accommodation for Councils Across the South West

We have spent years working closely with councils across the South West, building proven partnerships with Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council to provide safe, self-contained accommodation for individuals and families in crisis. Our portfolio spans studio apartments to four-bedroom houses, covering emergency placements within days through to longer-term arrangements lasting several months — giving your team the flexibility to meet its statutory homelessness duty without compromise.
At Dolphin Property, we understand that when a housing officer calls, the need is rarely straightforward. Our furnished, self-contained properties are ready for rapid placement, our staff are DBS checked, and our terms are built around your commissioning requirements. We are here to make the placement process as simple as possible for your team.
