Absolutely. You can block off dates in your host calendar anytime. Many owners use their property for personal stays during off-peak periods.
We can list your property in under a week. Once photos and key details are provided, our team handles everything — from creating your short-let listings to syncing across platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com.
Our management fee starts from 12% (plus VAT), charged only when you earn. You’ll also have platform fees (e.g. Airbnb’s), and we’ll replenish essentials like toiletries at cost. The guest pays for cleaning, which we handle and coordinate.
There are three key steps to our guest vetting process. Firstly, we always use official ID verification software to check that your guests are genuine. If the booking is taken through Airbnb, this is done through Airbnb’s own verification process. If the booking is through another platform, we use a third-party verification platform - giving you peace of mind (and more bookings!) when listing on multiple platforms.
Secondly, we use an application programming interface when taking payments from guests, allowing us to automatically identify any fraudulent activity. And lastly, our expert team is trained in identifying potential red flags. Our pros manually cross-reference guest details to triple-check a potential guest is genuine before accepting a booking.
