Instead of a long let
Bought, rebuilt, 68% more than a long let.
An investor bought this 4 bedroom house in Blyth in poor condition, rebuilt it and set it up with our help as a short let. Over 12 months it has earned 68% more than a standard long let would.

The result
More for the owner over 12 months than the house would earn on a long let.
The story
Bought to let, built for crews.
Where it started
A 4 bedroom house in Blyth, bought by an investor in poor condition.
The plan from day one was to rebuild it and run it as a short let, so he brought us in while the work was still going on.
What we changed
We helped plan the setup around the guests most likely to book a house this size: working teams. Our advice was simple. Fit in as many beds as the rooms allow.
- A full rebuild, from a tired house to a smart, modern home
- As many beds as the rooms allow, so a whole crew can stay together
- A double driveway at the front, with room for several vans
- Put in front of the contractor teams and long stay bookers we work with
What happened
Its first long booking came from a specialist care provider we work with. Since then it has been booked by contractor teams, and over 12 months it has earned 68% more than a standard long let.
The owner has since given us a second home, which is also performing well, and plans to keep buying, refurbishing and passing homes to us.
Look around
The whole house, room by room.

In the owner's words
We have been using Perfect Booking for 2 properties for over 1 year and are very impressed by their service. … I would definitely recommend Perfect Booking for any SA properties.
