Short-Let Help in London for Letting Agents

As a long-let agency, your branch should feel like a growth engine – but lately, with changes to rules and regulations tightening up, you might feel like business has become a little like a support desk for problems you have no control over.

As a lettings team, you’ll already be aware of the burdens of short-lets, hence why you’ve built a branch dedicated to ASTs. However, landlords are making switches, asking sharper questions about yields and dialling up the pressure. This is where we can partner up – restoring your credibility by serving as your short-let extension to protect your brand and keep your clients happy during void periods.

How we can help letting agents

Landlords today want options – and income is more important than ever.

our team

Not being flexible makes instructions harder to win

  • The problem: If a landlord asks, “What about short-lets?” to fill voids and you can’t be flexible, you’re at risk for losing the instruction.
  • How we help: We provide rapid short-let projections with seasonal modelling and realistic assumptions – so you win the instruction whether they go long-let now or trial short-let first.

Voids are killing landlord confidence (and fees)

  • The problem: Tenancy changeovers, referencing delays and refurb gaps burn time and revenue; your pipeline looks busy, but fee income doesn’t.
  • How we help: Void monetisation. We switch suitable units to short-let during gaps, listing them across OTAs with a daily availability refresh – so your client earns between tenancies.

You don’t want to build a hospitality operation

  • The problem: Out-of-hours messages, cleaners, pricing and reviews are not what you signed up for.
  • How we help: We run the engine end-to-end with guest screening, hosted/smart arrivals, hotel-grade turnovers, dynamic pricing and review management while you stay client-facing.

More risks like neighbours’ complaints and compliance

  • The problem: Parties, noise and regulations can damage your reputation.
  • How we help: Identity verification, deposits, enforceable house rules, guest comms, safety documentation and short-let compliance.

Landlord switches to short-let completely

  • The problem: Another agency or pure-play short-let operator pitches “higher yield + flexibility” and your client goes for it.
  • How we help: You keep the client, and we add a new revenue stream. You retain the relationship and share recurring fees while we quietly deliver the ops.

Concern about Section 21 reform & flexibility

  • The problem: Landlords fear being locked into difficult tenancies as the legal landscape shifts.
  • How we help: Strategic flexibility. Short-lets (and medium stays) preserve control.
