A serviced accommodation management company built for owners

We have managed serviced accommodation since 2015 and now run properties across 27 cities. Owners come to us when running units themselves stops being worth the time: the changeovers, the pricing, the guest messaging at midnight. We take the operation off your hands and run it properly, so occupancy holds and the units perform.

What is serviced accommodation?

Serviced accommodation is a fully furnished property let with utilities, wifi, linen and housekeeping included, usually to business travellers, contractors and guests staying longer than a weekend. Guests pay one rate covering everything, which is the main difference from a standard tenancy.

It sits between a hotel and a long let, and it is listed across Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and corporate channels rather than one platform. Serviced apartment management is the same discipline applied to a block or a cluster of units rather than a single property.

This image displays logos of twelve popular booking platforms and OTAs available for short term rental hosts who are running a serviced accommodation business.

Every platform, one operation

Your units go live on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and the corporate channels at once, with one calendar behind them. More visibility, no double bookings, no manual syncing.

Pricing that moves with demand

Rates adjust daily against local demand, events and lead time. That is what holds occupancy through the quiet weeks rather than leaving units empty at a fixed price.

A local team on the ground

Housekeeping, linen, maintenance and guest check-in handled by people in your city, not a call centre. You get one point of contact and a dashboard showing what every unit is doing.

Real success, real partners

Meet Adrian Gomez, whose journey from long hours and little family time to a life of freedom and presence is nothing short of inspiring. Born in Colombia and raised in London, Adrian's drive for success was fuelled by his parents' sacrifices.

Despite facing the uphill battle of breaking into the property market without a family history of homeownership, Adrian's relentless spirit led him to discover the world of serviced accommodation.
