South Bank

How the numbers are worked out

The calendar is managed as a whole rather than booking by booking. Accepting a cheap long stay over a bank holiday can cost more than the empty night it prevented.

South Bank

How the work gets done

The first month is the noisiest. Rates are being calibrated against real booking behaviour rather than an estimate, and that is when the calendar tells you what the property is actually worth.

South Bank

Is this right for you?

It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.

South Bank

The paperwork that has to be right

Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.

South Bank

What we won't do

We do not guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.

South Bank

The first step

The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.

Your Questions

South Bank questions, answered.

Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.

Is my South Bank property suitable for short lets?

It depends on location, layout, parking and what drives visitors to the area. We appraise before we commit and we will tell you if the answer is no — a property that does not suit short-let demand costs us both money.

What compliance do I need?

Gas safety certificate, electrical installation condition report, PAT testing where relevant, fire safety equipment, and appropriate insurance. Some councils also require planning permission or a licence for short lets — we will point you at your council's current position rather than guess it.

How is pricing set?

Nightly rates move with demand — day of week, season, local events, how far ahead the booking is. Static pricing is the most common reason a short let underperforms.

What if I want to stop?

There is a notice period, set out in the agreement before you sign. We do not lock landlords into terms they did not read.
