How the numbers are worked out
Channel mix affects price as much as season does. The same night can be worth different amounts depending on who is booking it and what that channel charges.

How the work gets done
Reporting is monthly and it shows the deductions as well as the income. A statement that only shows the good number is not a statement.
Whitley Wood
Is this right for you?
This suits an owner who wants the property to work without becoming a second job. It does not suit someone who wants to approve every booking — that is a different relationship and it does not run well.
Whitley Wood
Compliance, plainly
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Whitley Wood
What we won't do
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.
Whitley Wood
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
Common questions about Whitley Wood.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Whitley Wood 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.
