Why Hands Off Serviced Accommodation Management is the Perfect Solution for Busy Landlords
Why Hands-Off Serviced Accommodation Management is the Perfect Solution for Busy Landlords
Recently, I had a conversation with a landlord who owns three properties. Like many of our clients, he’s juggling multiple responsibilities—a full-time job, a busy family life with his wife and two children, and, of course, the demands of being a property owner. While he could technically manage his properties himself and save a bit on management fees, the reality of doing so effectively while maintaining great customer service is a different story altogether.
The Challenges of Managing Serviced Accommodation
Being a landlord isn’t just about collecting rent or welcoming guests. It requires constant attention to detail, time, and effort. From handling guest communications and ensuring smooth check-ins to managing maintenance and cleaning schedules, it’s a 24/7 operation. For this landlord, time was the biggest hurdle. He wants to deliver a great experience for his guests but will compromise the time he spends with his family or his performance at work.
On top of that, he’s expecting to get one of his properties back this February after a three-year tenancy. Understandably, he’s uncertain about its condition. Managing the refurbishment, preparing it for serviced accommodation, and maintaining it afterward would require time, expertise, and a level of commitment that’s hard to balance with his current lifestyle.
The Complete Hands-Off Solution
This is where we come in. Our Hands-Off Serviced Accommodation Management service is designed for landlords like him—those who want to maximise their property’s potential without sacrificing their personal or professional lives. For this landlord, we offered the complete hands-off package, and here’s how we’ll make it work:
Initial Property Assessment: When the property is handed back in February, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection to assess its condition. Whether it needs a deep clean, small repairs, or a full-scale refurbishment, we’ll identify exactly what needs to be done to bring it up to a high standard.
Project Management: Managing a refurbishment can be overwhelming, especially if you’re already busy. We’ll take care of everything—sourcing and coordinating contractors, supervising the work, and ensuring the property is guest-ready on schedule.
Interior Design & Staging: Once the property is refurbished, we’ll handle the interior design, creating a stylish and welcoming space that appeals to guests. From selecting the furniture to installing the finishing touches, we’ll stage the property to maximise bookings and nightly rates.
Professional Marketing & Listings: With professional photography and optimized listings across major platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO, we’ll ensure the property attracts high-quality bookings from day one.
Ongoing Management: Once the property is live, we take over everything—guest communication, dynamic pricing to maximise revenue, cleaning and maintenance coordination, and 24/7 support.
The Result?
With our hands-off service, this landlord can focus on his family and his full-time job while knowing his properties are in expert hands. Instead of worrying about guest complaints, cleaning schedules, or chasing contractors, he’ll simply enjoy the monthly income his properties generate.
