If you’re a landlord with a property in Crawley, Horsham, Horley, Gatwick, or East Grinstead, you may be sitting on an asset that could earn more through professional Airbnb and serviced accommodation management, without adding stress or day to day involvement.
At Simply Accommodation, we manage serviced accommodation for landlords who want higher returns, professional oversight, and a completely hands off experience.
Why More Landlords Are Moving Away from Traditional ASTs
Across West Sussex and Surrey, many landlords are reassessing long term lets due to:
- Rising costs and tighter margins
- Increased regulation and compliance burden
- Limited rental growth
- Lack of flexibility
Serviced accommodation offers an alternative. When managed properly, it can deliver stronger monthly income, better property care, and the ability to adapt to market conditions.
Why These Locations Perform So Well for Serviced Accommodation
The Gatwick Diamond consistently attracts professional, short and mid term demand.
- Crawley – High demand from contractors, corporate travellers, aviation staff, and training delegates
- Horsham – Popular with professionals, relocations, and longer furnished stays
- Horley – Ideal for Gatwick related stays and short notice bookings
- Gatwick Airport – Year round demand from aviation, business travel, and overnight gaps
- East Grinstead – Strong demand for insurance stays, relocations, and flexible lets
- These areas attract reliable guests who value quality accommodation and professional management.
All Property Sizes Can Work
There’s a common misconception that serviced accommodation only works for certain property types. In reality, all sizes of property can perform well, from studios and one bed apartments through to larger family homes.
What matters most is:
- Location
- Layout and condition
- Demand profile
- Professional setup and management
We assess each property on its own merits and advise honestly on suitability and income expectations.
What Professional Serviced Accommodation Management Involves
Managing serviced accommodation properly is far more than listing a property online.
Our full management service includes:
- Pricing strategy and revenue optimisation
- Professional listings across multiple booking platforms
- Guest screening and communication
- Cleaning, linen, and maintenance coordination
- Compliance and safety guidance
- Ongoing performance monitoring
You receive income without dealing with messages, late night call outs, or operational issues.
Higher Returns Without Increased Risk
When serviced accommodation is set up and managed correctly, landlords benefit from:
- Improved cash flow compared to traditional rent
- Reduced voids
- Better cared for properties
- Flexibility to revert back to AST if required
Our focus is on professional and mid term guests, which helps reduce wear and tear and maintain property standards.
Why Landlords Choose Simply Accommodation
Landlords work with us because we:
- Operate locally and understand these markets
- Focus on quality guests, not party bookings
- Treat the property as an asset, not just a listing
- Offer transparent, aligned management agreements
Your success and ours are directly linked.
