Fees

A simple fee, and only when you earn

No monthly charge, no minimum term, and nothing to pay when your home sits empty.

Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo etc.
15%+ VAT

Taken from the payout after the platform's commission, and only when a booking pays out.

  • No monthly charge
  • No minimum term
  • Nothing when empty

Everything in the three lists below is covered by this fee and the one-off setup fee, with photography priced on its own. Cleaning is paid by guests.

Booked direct with us
+5%+ VAT

On bookings we bring you ourselves. We do the marketing and build repeat guests, and you keep bookings that never touch a platform or pay its commission.

Getting started

Covers listing creation and guest-ready checks. Professional photography is booked through our UK network and priced separately, and both are agreed with you before anything starts.

Cleaning is charged to guests, not to you.

Before launch
  • Professional photography
  • Listing creation and copy
  • Compliance paperwork
  • Cleaning team set up
Every stay
  • Guest vetting
  • Guest messaging, 24/7
  • Cleaning and linen
  • Damage claims handled
Every month
