SHORT-LET PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
We run your home on Airbnb for you: listing, pricing, guests, cleaning and reporting. 15% + VAT (18% inc VAT) of booking income.
Our track record
Our team has hosted guests on Airbnb since 2016, with nearly ten years as Superhosts, more than 5,000 nights booked and an average guest rating of 4.9 out of 5. Pricing, guest care and housekeeping are handled by our own team on the ground, not a call centre.
End-to-end management
Everything below is included in the fee unless we say otherwise.
01
We look at the home, the area and the lease, and tell you honestly if it suits short letting.
02
Styling, professional photography, a rendered floor plan and a listing that reads well.
03
We set prices daily and list on Airbnb, Booking.com and direct.
04
We handle every message, check-in and question.
05
Professional cleans, fresh linen and checks after every stay.
06
Every booking, payment and statement in your owner dashboard, whenever you want to check.
Our fee
Charged on what the home earns, with no fixed monthly fee. A one-off set-up fee of £500 + VAT (£600 inc VAT) covers professional photography and a rendered floor plan. A minimum fee of £1,000 a year (£1,200 inc VAT) applies across our services.
Interiors work, repairs and supplies are charged separately and agreed with you first. Full terms are set out in the management agreement before anything goes live.
Daily pricing
Every client gets their own revenue manager, who looks after the pricing on their home. They check your calendar every day and move nightly rates with the season, local events, demand and how far ahead guests are booking, so busy nights earn more and quiet gaps still fill.
You can see every booking and the rate it went at in your owner dashboard, and you always know who to call about pricing.
Unlimited owner stays
Short-letting with us doesn't mean giving the home up. Block the dates you need for yourself, family or friends, at no charge, and we let the rest.
We plan each year with you: your own dates first, short stays on the weeks that earn most, and longer company, relocation and insurer bookings around them.
We can move the home to a long let, or to Rent While You Sell if you decide to sell.

Owner dashboard
Your dashboard shows rental revenue, nights booked, occupancy, average nightly rate, our fee and what's paid to you, month by month and for the year to date, with your statements alongside.
You can block owner stays from the same place, and see the rate every booking went at.
Flexible management
How we'd set things up for two typical owners.
Example
Owner situation
The owner lives abroad for part of the year but wants to retain the property for personal visits.
Priority
Generate income during selected periods while keeping important dates available for personal use.
Possible approach
Agree an availability calendar, prepare the home for guests, coordinate pricing and bookings, and manage guest communication, housekeeping and property checks.
Example
Owner situation
The owner has a furnished property and is considering a professionally managed short-let strategy.
Priority
Reduce day-to-day involvement while maintaining clear oversight of bookings, costs and property care.
Possible approach
Assess the property’s suitability, refine its presentation, prepare professional listings and coordinate pricing, guest operations, cleaning, maintenance and owner reporting.
Designed by Yo’s Home
Our sister company Yo's Home can style and furnish the home before it goes live, so it photographs well and stands up to guests.
Your options
The right route depends on your property, availability, responsibilities and longer-term plans.
Areas we manage
Each page covers what guests book in that area, typical nightly prices and how we would run your home there.

Owner questions
Suitability depends on its location, type, condition, availability, lease restrictions and likely guest demand. We assess every home individually to determine whether short letting is appropriate for the property and your wider objectives.
It depends on the home, the area and how many nights you can let it. We'll give you a realistic figure after a free assessment. Our fee is 15% + VAT (18% inc VAT) of booking income.

Possibly. Mortgage conditions, tenancy agreements, leases and freeholder rules may restrict short letting. Owners are responsible for obtaining any necessary written consent before the property is launched. Independent legal and mortgage advice may be required.
Cleaning may be charged separately to guests or deducted as an agreed operating cost, depending on the booking arrangement. Owners are normally responsible for approved maintenance, repairs and other property-related expenses. All responsibilities, approval limits and third-party costs are confirmed in the management agreement.
