Frequently Asked Questions
How much does holiday let management cost?
Our full holiday let management service is 15% of booking revenue. Housekeeping costs are passed through transparently from our trusted cleaning partners, based on property size.
Our performance management option is 12% and doesn’t include cleaning and maintenance coordination. This is ideal for owners who have their own trusted on-site team but want more bookings and revenue.
There are no hidden markups or surprise fees. We are open about our pricing structure.
Are there long term contracts?
We operate on a rolling monthly agreement with a minimum initial period of three months, which gives us time to optimise your listing and pricing.
We don’t lock owners into long-term contracts. If the service works, the partnership continues.
What areas do you cover?
We offer our Performance Management service throughout Yorkshire and across the UK.
We offer our Full Management service to all City of York postcodes including:
City Centre
Bishophill
South Bank
Clifton
Fishergate
Bootham
Heworth
And the wider York surrounding areas.
If you’re unsure whether your property falls within our management service area, please contact us and we will confirm.
What platforms do you list your properties on?
We manage holiday let listings across Airbnb, Booking.com, Google, Vrbo and all Expedia-owned sites.
Pricing and availability are kept aligned across all platforms, and calendars are synced to prevent double-bookings.
Do you help with safety and compliance?
Yes. Compliance is an increasingly important consideration for short-term let operators managing an Airbnb in York. We track and monitor key requirements including electrical safety, gas safety, and fire safety documentation. And we stay across evolving short-term let regulations — including Article 4 Direction changes that may affect your property’s permitted development rights. We coordinate with trusted local contractors when renewals are due.
What's the difference between Holiday Let Management and Airbnb management?
Holiday let management is a broader term covering short-term rental properties listed across multiple booking platforms.
Airbnb management refers specifically to optimising performance within the Airbnb platform — including search ranking, pricing behaviour and review management. We provide both, applying platform-specific strategies where they make a material difference to occupancy and revenue.
Who's a good fit for holiday let property management
Existing landlords looking to diversify their portfolios, wanting higher rental income and wish to partner with an experienced Airbnb property management company.
Self-managing hosts who are tired from always having to be available, need a break from cleaning and maintenance, and are considering hiring short-term rental property management in York.
New or aspiring property owners who are looking for an additional source of income without the hassle of self-managing.
How much can my property earn as a holiday let?
This depends greatly on the location of your property.
For example, York is one of the UK’s strongest markets for short-term letting, with consistent demand year-round from leisure visitors, couples and families.
A well-managed two or three-bedroom property in a central location can generate significantly more than a typical long-term tenancy.
Actual earnings depend on property size, location, condition and pricing strategy. But as a guide a well presented two bedroom property in a strong York location can generate around £35,000–£45,000 in gross annual booking revenue.
In 2025, the properties we managed performed 17.8% above comparable York listings on occupancy, while also achieving higher average nightly rates.
We can provide a personalised revenue estimate based on comparable properties we manage.
