Short-Let Management in London for Homeowners

Owning a home in London should be a joy and a lucrative venture, not a second job that leaves you unable to turn a profit. If you’ve already been down the route of managing short stays yourself, then you’ll know just how quickly admin takes over – there are calendars to coordinate, guests to vet, turnovers to complete, not even including last-minute bookings or cancellations to deal with.

How we can help…

You want to make more money from your property

The main motivation for seeking out property management services from companies like us is always financial. Homeowners know their property has potential, but it’s vacant for huge gaps of the year on platforms like Airbnb or Booking.com, and they don’t understand why.

At Ovitzia, we’ll know what to do – we can uplift your average revenue, price your property dynamically and fill your calendar – with clients seeing 20-50% more income than standard tenancies.

You’ve been a host before – and hated it

Another large subset of homeowners might have once dreamed of owning a B&B or being a host by listing their property on Airbnb. But the reality was too stressful and demanding.

We know that this industry never sleeps, which is why we created our service to help homeowners get back to what they really love most – their jobs, free time and family. So, if you still want the income, but not the job, you can enjoy our fully managed packages, where we handle everything without you lifting a finger.

You like to use the property at certain times, but want it to pay for itself in the meantime

Many homeowners we work with live abroad for most of the year or travel frequently for work, leaving their homes empty for prolonged periods. This is a bit infuriating when it’s a cost you have to cover and not even get to enjoy.

Short-let management in this aspect is perfect because it monetises your downtime and frees up your home for whenever you want to use it. Enjoy Ovitzia’s flexibility: use your home whenever you want and earn income when you’re not there.

You like the idea of short-lets but are concerned about compliance or damage

Many homeowners like the idea of short-lets, especially the income they can earn. However, due to their emotional ties to their property, they’re often put off by horror stories about parties, damage, noise complaints, or non-compliance with council regulations.

Allow Ovitzia to give you the peace of mind you need with professional guest screening and vetting, insurance coverage, house rules, deposit handling, safety inspections and ongoing compliance support.

You’re already with a short-let management company, but not seeing results

If you already use another agency, but are not seeing the occupancy, pricing or reviews you were hoping to receive, then it’s not a problem with your property, but a disconnection between you and your partner.

We understand that homeowners want more than just bookings; they want stronger, more consistent revenue, better returning guests and stronger reviews. Ovitzia has the advantage – different from the faceless big-name agencies and corporations, our service is built on personal business relationships. Our approach is human, hands-on and data-led.

Why London homeowners choose Ovitzia

Maximise income without lifting a finger

With Ovitzia, you can earn significantly more than a long-term tenancy without lifting a finger. We optimise revenue, manage operations, and handle guests, so you keep your evenings and weekends free.
- Professional revenue management typically lifts income by 20–50% over DIY hosting.
- We actively adjust pricing for events, demand spikes, and seasons.
- Monthly income reports and live dashboards – we handle the day-to-day grind.
Your property is cared for like a home – not just another rental listing

Short-let guests come and go quickly, which means wear and tear can add up if standards slip. We don’t let that happen. Every turnover is treated as a reset: cleaning, linen, restocking, inspections, and photo-logged audits to keep your property in peak condition.
- Routine maintenance and preventative care extend the life of appliances and furnishings.
- Frequent inspections mean small issues are resolved before they become expensive.
- Our local tradesmen handle fixes quickly — often before you even know there was a problem.
No strangers, no stress — guests are carefully vetted

One of the biggest fears for homeowners is “Who’s staying in my property?” We remove that uncertainty. Every guest undergoes ID and background checks, and we decline anyone who doesn’t meet our standards.
- We monitor booking patterns, flag risk signals, and intervene before problems arise.
- Clear house rules, deposits, and structured communication keep guests respectful.
- 24/7 guest support means issues are handled professionally.
Flexibility you don’t get with a long-term tenant

Want to use your home for a few weeks a year? Need access at short notice? With a short-let, you stay in control. We’ll block dates for family visits, renovations, or spontaneous city breaks.
- Book personal stays directly through your owner portal.
- Arrive at a professionally cleaned, stocked, hotel-ready home every time.
- Enjoy the income the rest of the year, without losing access.
