Maximising Value for Landlords
LEGISLATIVE & OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES
Greater Control
Short-term lets operate on guest stays rather than fixed tenancies, giving owners greater control over occupancy, property use, and ongoing maintenance standards.
​​
Reduced Tenancy Risk
With recent and upcoming rental reforms increasing regulation and limiting flexibility in the private rental sector, serviced accommodation avoids many tenancy-related risks such as lengthy possession processes and restricted landlord rights.
​
Built-In Flexibility
Serviced accommodation allows owners to adapt quickly — whether for personal use, sale, or changing market conditions — without being locked into long-term tenancy agreements.
​
Hospitality-Led Standards
Properties are managed to hotel-style standards with regular inspections and professional cleaning, helping protect the asset and maintain condition over time.
FINANCIAL & OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
​
Expense-Led Cost Structure
Serviced accommodation operates as an active hospitality business, allowing a wider range of legitimate operating costs — such as cleaning, utilities, maintenance and management — to be built into the running of the property.
​
Transparent, Business-Style Accounting
Short-term letting income is tracked per stay, with clear visibility over performance, costs, and net returns. This makes cash flow easier to understand and manage compared to traditional long-term renting.
​
Commercial Use Framework
In some cases, serviced accommodation may fall under a business-use classification rather than standard residential occupation, depending on how the property is operated and assessed by the local authority.
By To Let vs Serviced Accommodation
Higher Profits
A property run as serviced accommodation can typically generate two to three times more profit compared to a traditional buy-to-let, giving landlords and investors far greater financial flexibility.
​
No Risk of Non-Paying Tenants
With buy-to-let, a tenant who defaults on rent can take up to 12 months to evict. In contrast, serviced accommodation has no long-term tenants — guests pay in advance before they even arrive.
​
Property Maintained in Pristine Condition
Serviced accommodation requires properties to be kept to a high standard at all times. Unlike traditional rentals, where the condition of the property at the end of a tenancy can be unpredictable, your property will consistently be presented and maintained to hotel-quality standards.
​
Full Control and Flexibility
Many of our landlords enjoy having more control over their property than they have had in years. With our serviced accommodation model, you choose when your property is available for guests and when you’d like to reserve it for personal use — whether that’s hosting family or taking time out yourself. The asset remains fully flexible and entirely under your control.
