We charge from 5% commission. We have three models: Revenue Management at 5%, Online Management at 8%, and Full Management at 12%. Three highly competitively priced models, where you can choose what you need from us.

Our full-service package includes everything in our Revenue and Online Management packages, plus guest communication, cleaning, maintenance, and more. See the full list of what’s included here.

We offer tiered management options such as:

• Revenue Management from 5%: Takes charge of revenue and pricing.

• Full Management from 12%: Includes the first two tiers, guest comms, and cleaning & maintenance.

Yes, with Ovitzia, you’ll be free to upgrade or downgrade your package at any time. We want you to find a service that works for you and take advantage of certain services when you need them. Notice periods might apply.

At Ovitzia, we’re fully commission-based. This means we charge a percentage of your booking revenue, rather than a fixed monthly fee. Please note that commission is taken on gross accommodation revenue only. We do not charge commission on security deposits, taxes, refunded bookings or cancellations. Our lower entry pricing (from 5%) means you can avoid paying for services you don’t need.

As our fees are structured on a percentage basis, you typically pay only when your property generates bookings. We only earn when you do.

Cleaning is covered by the guest. Initial guest-ready cleans are charged, as are any necessary periodic deep cleans. Any maintenance call-outs or repairs will also incur additional fees. If you also need services like professional photography or restocking, they are charged separately.

We’ll use dynamic pricing tools, paired with local market data, seasonality, and demand trends, to adjust your nightly rates in real time across booking platforms, ensuring you’re never underpriced or missing out on higher-revenue opportunities.

While at Ovitizia, all our properties enjoy average occupancies of 90% or higher; earnings will depend on location, property type, and demand. Some areas can command higher nightly rates, while others will perform better with higher occupancy (we’ll do both to maximise annual revenue). One thing is for sure: with us, you’ll keep more of your profits with lower commission rates. Send us your postcode, and we can forecast for you today.

We tend to offer rolling agreements. During onboarding, we will draft a service agreement, which typically means we propose terms agreed on a case-by-case basis rather than a single rigid contract model. We want to develop a relationship that’s flexible and tailored to your needs, so you can set the pace within your budget and choose the level of involvement on your terms.

Most agreements typically require a 30-day notice period.

There’s no tie-in; if you’re unhappy with our service, you’re free to leave.

Our contract clearly outlines how future bookings, guest communication, and payouts are handled during exit, ensuring a smooth handover of services.

We typically handle pricing, but you are welcome to set certain boundaries, such as a minimum nightly rate, blocked dates, and personal stays.

Depending on your stage, we can typically get properties live within 5 days. However, in some cases, it can take up to 3 weeks if we need to adjust furnishings, photos or your listing.

Your short-term rental will need to be fully furnished and guest-ready. However, we do offer an interior decorating service should you need help furnishing your holiday home to maximise its appeal and boost bookings.

Ownership terms are typically outlined and agreed upon in the service agreement. However, we typically create a listing through our own profile, so you can enjoy a higher level of reputation and the statuses we have, for example, Superhost and 9 years of hosting experience.

Typically, you approve larger expenses, while smaller fixes may be handled automatically within agreed limits.

In some UK locations, you’ll require planning permission or licences, or face restrictions such as London’s 90-day rule. As your short-let partner, we can help guide you through regulations you might face in your area.

We ensure your property meets all essential safety standards before going live. Most properties must have:

• Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
• Safe electrical and gas systems
• Fire safety measures (e.g. extinguishers, escape routes)
• Clear guest instructions

Standard home insurance is not enough; you’ll require specialist short-term rental or holiday let insurance, and we can help advise on suitable cover.

Some areas (such as Scotland) require a Short-Term Let (STL) licence, while others may introduce registration schemes. We’ll guide you through any licensing or registration needed.

Yes, income from short-term rentals is taxable, and you will need to manage it with our support. You may benefit from schemes such as the Rent-a-Room allowance or the Furnished Holiday Let (FHL) tax advantages (subject to eligibility). We recommend speaking with an accountant for tailored advice.

Regulations in the UK are evolving, with new rules planned. We stay up to date with regulation changes and adapt your listing and operations accordingly. We’ll also let you know if there’s anything you need to do on your side to remain operational and compliant.

Yes, we ensure bookings meet platform requirements and can implement additional checks where necessary to protect your property.
