Rent to rent
Rent to rent, 39% more than the rent.
The operator rents this Hitchin home from its landlord and runs it as a short let through us. It earns 39% more than she pays in rent, after our fees, with almost no input from her.
rent she pays
The result
Her income after our fees, against the long let rent she pays the landlord.
The story
A rent to rent home, run to its potential.
Where it started
A 2 bedroom house in Hitchin. The operator doesn’t own it: she rents it from the landlord on a long let and runs it as a short let.
She wanted it managed professionally from day one, so she brought it to us.
What we changed
Her staging company had already furnished it and taken the photos. Our job was to run it to its full potential.
- Pricing set correctly, night by night
- Discounts for longer stays, because most guests want a home for weeks, not nights
- Put forward to insurance companies placing families out of their own homes
- Every stay managed for her, start to finish
What happened
It is full most of the time with insurance stays, and the guests have been very good. It earns 39% more than the rent she pays, after our fees.
She barely needs to talk to us. She can focus on her other business, knowing the house is run properly and earning every month.
Look around
The whole house, room by room.
