Extended Stay - typically for between 1 to 5 months

Many urban short lets naturally  attract longer / extended shorter term bookings & landlords may prefer to simply use our specialised Rightmove  & Airbnb advertising & short stay occupation agreement. Our flexible licence agreements are  ideal for  Contract workers...those between house sales...insurance temporary accommodation....building works....returning expats....visiting academics & medics....relocating...the list goes on.

Why attract extended stay occupiers ?:

• You do not want to let to long term 'sitting' tenants  - stay in control of your property.
• You operated urban short lets and want to increase profits.
• You operate holiday lets and want to increase low season ‘ winter lets’ .
• You are letting your main home for less than 90 days per annum.

Increase rental income:

• Save Expenditure - a longer extended stay may not need weekly cleaning and laundry, providing a large saving to the property owner.
• Registered short lets can make the pattern of occupation work for them by accepting both extended stays and short lets so earning a higher rent overall.
• Property owners do not get locked into long term tenancies requiring expensive possession proceedings.

The property owner can achieve a higher rental  & is not tied down to a longer tenancy period.
