Already hosting or changing manager?
One switch date, no double bookings.
However the home is run today, the handover is planned around the guests already booked.
Switching manager, in full- Hosting it yourself
We take over the daily work: pricing, guests, cleaners and checks. We agree a start date and plan around the stays you already have.
- With another manager
Read your agreement for its notice period. Your old manager closes their listing on a date we agree, and ours starts that day.
- New to short lets
Our guide covers getting the home guest ready. Then we clean, photograph, list and price it, and you see the costs before you sign.
- Reviews and bookingsOn Airbnb, reviews and bookings stay with the account that holds the listing, so we never promise they move across. Our guide explains what to check.
- Our notice terms30 days in the first three months and 90 days after that, with no long lock in.
Where your home is listed
Airbnb is one of the places we list your home, not the only one.
- Airbnb
- Booking.com
- Many more booking sites

Is the home near a town centre, the coast, a hospital, a university or a big employer?
What does your Airbnb management include?
The day to day running of the let: writing, photographing and listing the home, pricing every night, answering guests and checking them before arrival, cleaners and linen after every stay, checks after every stay, arranging repairs, and an itemised statement every month. How it works.
Can you manage my Airbnb if I already host it myself?
Yes. Some homes we run were hosted by their owners before, like the house near Southampton in our case studies. We agree a start date with you and plan around the bookings you already have, so every guest has a host. Whether your listing and its reviews stay depends on whose account it is on. Switching to a new manager, explained.
What happens when I switch from another manager?
Read your current agreement for its notice period first. The old manager closes their listing on a date we agree and ours starts from that date, so there are no double bookings. New listings are usually live about three days after the photos. Our own notice terms are 30 days in the first three months and 90 days after that.
How do your fees work?
Our fee is 15% plus VAT, worked out on what the booking platform pays out after its commission, and only from bookings. Direct bookings through our website carry a 5% plus VAT platform fee instead of a booking site’s commission. Setup and photography are agreed before you sign, and the home’s running costs are yours. See every fee.
Who handles cleaning and repairs?
We line up cleaners and fresh linen after every stay, paid for by the guest’s cleaning fee. We arrange trades and repairs, and usually check with you before spending over £100. The cost of repairs and upkeep is yours as the owner, and every cost shows on its own line in your statement.
Can I still use my property?
Yes. Block dates whenever you like for your own stays, and your owner portal shows your calendar, earnings and statements whenever you want to look.
Where do you operate?
We are based in Kent and take on homes right across the UK. See where we work.
What happens after I request a report?
A written, month by month estimate for your home arrives by email within 24 hours. It is an estimate based on similar homes nearby, not a guarantee of income. If you want one, we follow up with a quick call. Nothing happens until you say so.
