Your property, run as a five-star Airbnb. We carry the work. You keep control.

We switch it in 30 days and run all of it: guests, cleaning, pricing and compliance. If it is a rental, you earn at least 30% more, or we refund the furniture. If you are heading abroad, your home is kept to a five-star standard and handed back exactly as you left it.

Which describes you?

Two kinds of owner come to us. The work is identical. What you want from it is not.

Pick the one that fits and read on.

For landlords

More from the bricks you built. Without the tenant drama.

Section 24, the rate resets and the end of Section 21 are quietly shrinking the buy-to-let model. We change the income, not the asset. You keep the property. You lose the workload.

  • At least 30% more than your buy-to-let baseline, in writing
  • No trips, no contractor calls, no 10pm tenant messages. We run it
  • Gas, EPC, EICR, fire and licensing handled and renewed
  • Revert to a long let on one month's notice, any time
Your guarantee: 30% more in twelve months, or we refund the furniture and decoration in full.
What we take off your plate

The whole operation, run by one team.

  • Staging, furniture and a five-star listing across 35+ channels
  • Dynamic pricing, guest vetting and 24/7 guest cover
  • Cleaning, linen, maintenance and every turnover
  • One clean revenue figure to hand your accountant each quarter
Vetted guests, inspected after every stay. Over five years, managed short lets take less wear than long lets.

The reality in 2026

Leave it as it is, and next year looks like this one.

Rarely a disaster. Usually the slow leak, or the one problem you cannot reach from another country.

If you let property

The buy-to-let model is being quietly re-priced.

Section 24 quietly takes around £8,000 a year off the average portfolio.

Fixed rates set at 1.8% are resetting at 5.9%.

Section 21 goes in May 2026. When an eviction is contested, your rent-guarantee insurance stops at six months and the case can run past twelve. The void rent and the legal bill are then yours.

If you are moving abroad

An empty house is the most expensive thing you own.

An empty home still costs you the mortgage, the bills and a council-tax premium.

A long tenant you cannot evict from another time zone.

A 3am boiler call you cannot answer, and a house you do not recognise when you walk back in.

What the guests say

Hundreds of five-star stays. This is how your property gets treated.

Live reviews from real guests across the homes we run. The same standard, whether it is a city-centre flat or a family house. Notice how many of them mention how clean and cared-for the place was.

Emerson Tenas, Founder of ERTE Properties
We have watched too many good landlords get burned

We are not a letting agent, and we are not a listings manager. We started this in 2022, after watching too many landlords we respect lose control of properties they had looked after for years. The rules changed underneath them, and the tenants they trusted did not always treat the place the way they had.

At the same time I kept staying in Airbnbs as a guest, in places that did not feel like a home. A box, a bed, a passcode. I thought there was a way to fix both at once. Run the property to a five-star standard for the guest. Run the operation to a professional standard for the owner. Take the work off your plate.

Three years and more than 3,000 guests later, we have done exactly that, across studio flats, blocks of flats and houses up to ten bedrooms. The model works. The guarantees are how we put it in writing.

The plan

Three steps. Thirty days. One property at a time.

No trips, no project-managing trades, no learning a new platform. You tell us about the property. We do the rest.

1

Tell us your postcode

We pull the live short-let data for your postcode, look at the property, and send a Holiday Let Report inside 24 hours: projected income against your current rent, and an honest view on whether it is a fit. Then we call you.

2

We switch it in 30 days

If it is a fit, we run the switch. Furniture, decoration, photography, the listing across 35+ channels, and full compliance. You make no trips and buy no curtains.

3

You go back to your life

We run pricing, guests, cleaning and maintenance. You get one clear report a month. The income arrives, and you carry none of the day-to-day.

The honest question

But will this actually work for my property?

It is the one question every serious owner asks, and it should be. You would be putting money into a strategy that is not yet proven for your exact postcode. Here is how we answer it, before you spend a penny.

01

We run due diligence first

Not every property is a fit. We pull the local short-let data for your postcode, check the property against the top performers nearby, and tell you honestly whether the maths works. Around a third of the properties we assess are not right for the model, and we say so.

02

We use what we have already tested

Across 3,000+ guests and properties from studio flats to ten-bedroom houses, we know what earns five-star reviews in each area. We deploy what is already proven. We do not experiment with your money.

03

We carry the risk, in writing

If your income does not rise by at least 30% against your buy-to-let baseline in the first twelve months, we refund the full cost of the furniture and decoration. In your signed contract, not a marketing line.

The reason we can offer that guarantee is the same reason your accountant trusts a forecast. It is built on data we have already seen, on properties we already run.

Get My Free Holiday Let Report
Two written guarantees

The risk is on our side of the line.

An owner with a property to protect has taken enough risk already. We move the next risk onto our balance sheet, in writing, in your signed contract.

Revenue Guarantee (for landlords)

Revenue Guarantee

Your annual income rises by at least 30% in the first twelve months, measured against your buy-to-let baseline. If it does not, we refund the cost of the furniture and decoration in full.

Rating Guarantee (for owners abroad)

Rating Guarantee

If your guest rating slips below four stars at any point, our management fee stops. We work for free until the rating is back above 4.5 stars.

Every figure here is a written contract term. None of it is aspirational.

Twelve months from today

What it actually looks like, a year from signing.

Twelve months from today, your property looks like this. You have a team on the ground in your area running it daily. Inspections happen on a schedule, the inventory is tracked, and the compliance paperwork sits in one place. You have not been to the property, answered a guest message, or bought a single curtain.

If you let it for income

The income is higher, conservatively 30% above your buy-to-let baseline, arriving every month with a statement your accountant can read in 30 seconds. You are no longer hostage to the next Renters' Rights change, and you are not chasing a tenant for arrears. The asset is back under your control, in better condition than it has been in years.

If you left it to go abroad

The home covered its own bills while you were away, stayed compliant, and is handed back exactly as you left it. There was no tenant you could not move on, and no 3am problem you had to solve from another time zone. Your foothold on the UK ladder is intact, ready for your return.

None of that is a marketing promise. The 30% uplift is the floor. The furniture refund is the safety net. The rest is the work we do every day for 3,000+ guests already.

Frequently asked questions

The things owners ask us first.

What areas in the UK do you cover?
We are headquartered in Reading and operate across London and the South East. If your postcode is outside our direct coverage, we will tell you on the call and recommend an operator we trust.
How do you know what my property could earn?
We pull live, recent short-let data for your exact postcode — occupancy, average nightly rate and seasonality — and benchmark your property against the top performers nearby. The figure in your Holiday Let Report is grounded in real bookings, not aspirational.
What if my property does not suit as a holiday let?
Around a third of properties we assess are not right for the short-let model and we say so. You keep the report and the honest opinion, with no obligation.
I am moving abroad. What about the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme?
We handle the NRL paperwork with HMRC and pay your income gross where you are approved, or after the relevant deduction where you are not. Everything sits in one place each quarter for your accountant.
Will I get my home back when I return?
Yes. The Rating Guarantee protects the standard while you are away, and the contract is on one month's notice. We hand the property back inspected and to inventory, exactly as you left it.
What about damage and bad guests?
Every booking is vetted, the property is inspected after every stay, and incidents are logged with photos. Over five years, professionally managed short lets take less wear than long lets in our portfolio.
What does it cost, and am I tied in?
A flat 20% management fee on booking revenue. No lock-in, one month's notice. Guarantees on both revenue and ratings sit in your signed contract, not in marketing copy.
