An alternative way of renting your property
Enjoy the fantastic benefits renting your property as a serviced accommodation offers
A serviced accommodation (also called short let or holiday let) is a property that is fully furnished and decorated and occupied by guests (rather than tenants) for a short period of time. Adding this strategy to your portfolio allows you to enjoy fantastic benefits as a landlord.
As travellers look for more flexible and cost-efficient ways to spend time away from home, there is a rapid increase in the demand for this type of accommodation. This is just the right time to get involved!
Some benefits for landlords
Monthly income
As an SA is rented on a nightly basis, your monthly income could be higher than an AST. Alternatively, for guaranteed income, you could allow a property investor to rent it from you and manage it as an SA, paying you the monthly rent (just as a tenant would), but without any fees and deductions.
Regular inspections
Inspections for properties with an AST in place are usually done one (maybe twice) a year. With an SA, the condition of the property is checked after every checkout.
No arrears
Tenants could get behind with their rental payments, and asking them to vacant the property can be a long and costly process. With SA, guests pay before they check-in.
Lower risk
Guests will stay shorter periods of time at the property, which means the risk of problem occupants is lower. On top of that, as the property is regularly inspected, any potential issues can be quickly rectified, ensuring the property is maintained in its original condition and high quality.
Professional cleans
While it's difficult to assess the level of cleanliness a tenant is maintaining the property at; with SA, a professional team will clean the property after every guest.

TESTIMONIAL
Helen and Juliana manage one of my properties in Reading, as a corporate/holiday let.
I am more than happy with their friendly but professional attitude & I look forward to our business relationship expanding in the future, as this being my first experience in corporate let & they have made the transition from BTL a very smooth ride.
Thanks.
