Serviced Accommodation
Management in Central London.
We operate Central London apartments on the serviced-accommodation model. Furnishing brief, multi-platform distribution, in-house housekeeping on a hotel turnaround cadence, and 24/7 guest support. You see one monthly net payment.
Hotel-grade operation. Longer stays. One monthly net.
Serviced accommodation sits between short-let (nightly Airbnb / Booking.com) and a long-term AST. The guest typically books for one week to three months. The product is more like a small hotel suite than a holiday flat — a consistent service standard, weekly or bi-weekly housekeeping cycles, defined check-in and check-out, billing on a weekly or monthly cycle rather than per-night.
For landlords, the practical difference is the guest profile. Serviced-accommodation bookings come predominantly from corporate housing budgets, relocation agents, insurance placements and overseas family visitors, rather than nightly leisure travellers. The result is a longer average stay, lower turnover, less wear on the property, and a more predictable monthly income than nightly short-let.
Why landlords choose serviced accommodation.
Higher yield than long-let
Multi-week stays priced as a serviced product earn meaningfully more per month than an equivalent AST, particularly in prime Central London postcodes. We model your specific property and come back with a tailored figure within one business day.
Lower volatility than nightly short-let
Stays of one week to three months smooth out the peak-and-trough pattern of nightly bookings. Fewer weekends-only earning gaps, fewer turnovers, less wear on the property.
Operationally hands-off
We handle the furnishing brief, multi-platform marketing, guest vetting, housekeeping, maintenance and billing. You see one monthly net payment.
The boroughs where serviced accommodation runs hardest.
Demand is strongest where corporate, medical and embassy visitors cluster. We run the serviced-accommodation model across the four prime Central London postcodes below.
A different guest mix to nightly short-let.
Corporate relocations
Staff moving to London for new roles, typically placed by their employer for one to six months while they get set up.
Project contractors and consultants
Finance, tech, legal and construction professionals on fixed-term contracts. Three to nine months is typical.
Insurance and relocation housing
Guests placed by insurance companies while their home is being repaired, or by relocation agents while a family searches for a permanent place.
International medical visitors
Patients and family travelling to Central London for treatment at Harley Street, Great Ormond Street and other private and NHS clinics.
Family stays during student term transitions
Parents visiting students during term starts, exam periods and graduation, where a serviced flat is more comfortable than a hotel.
One operation. Top to bottom.
Furnishing brief
A consistent specification works hardest in the corporate and medium-stay market. We brief any furnishing work needed before going live, then handle photography and listing copy.
Multi-platform distribution
Booking.com, Airbnb longer-stay listings, Homelike, SilverDoor, corporate housing networks and direct booking. The right channels reach the right guests for this product.
In-house housekeeping
A hotel-grade turnaround cadence with a defined checklist and quality control between every stay. Linen, consumables and minor maintenance are included in the operation.
24/7 guest support
A real person on call around the clock for any guest or maintenance issue, so you never need to take the call.
Monthly owner reporting
A single net payment per month with a clear statement showing the gross bookings, our management fee, any uncovered costs and your balance.

Serviced accommodation. Common landlord questions.
Both run on the same regulatory footing, but the guest profile and operating model differ. Airbnb-style short-let is nightly-priced, leisure-heavy and typically 2-7 night stays. Serviced accommodation targets longer stays — one week to three months — and the bookings come predominantly from corporate housing budgets, relocation agents, insurance placements and overseas family visitors. Service is hotel-grade: defined check-in and check-out, weekly or bi-weekly housekeeping, billing on a weekly or monthly cycle rather than per night. For landlords the practical result is a longer average stay, lower turnover and less wear on the property.
