Serviced accommodation means letting a furnished property for short stays, through Airbnb, Booking.com and direct bookings, rather than to one long-term tenant. Guests get a home from home; you get a property that's cleaned, checked and looked after between every stay.
In a city like Leeds, with steady demand from business travellers, contractors, university visitors and weekend breaks, a well-run apartment can earn more than a traditional let. It also takes far more work, which is where we come in.
We run the whole operation for you: listings, pricing, guest messages, cleaning, linen and maintenance. You get a monthly statement and payout.
of booking revenue. We only earn when you do.

Serviced accommodation vs a long-term let
Neither is right for every property. Here's an honest comparison.
| Serviced accommodation | Long-term let | |
|---|---|---|
| Income | Often higher in strong locations, but varies with season and demand | Fixed monthly rent |
| Who does the work | Lots of day-to-day work, which we handle for you | Lower involvement once a tenant is in |
| Property condition | Cleaned and checked after every stay | Checked at inspections and changeovers |
| Flexibility | Block out dates to use the property yourself | Tied in for the length of the tenancy |
| Set-up | Needs furnishing, photos and listings (we can help) | Can be let furnished or unfurnished |
