The story

The challenge

A 4-bed, 3-bath family home on a standard AST was earning around £1,300 a month, capped by local long-let rents.

Our approach

The landlord staged the house. We photographed it, priced it dynamically and launched it on Airbnb, Booking.com and direct booking within 8 days, positioned for contractor and corporate groups (7 beds, sleeps 13).

The result

87% occupancy and £3,648 gross in its latest full month, nearly 2.8× the long-let rent.
