If you’re a landlord tired of rent arrears, tenant issues or stagnant returns, you’re not alone. Many property owners across the UK are now rethinking the traditional buy-to-let model. Serviced accommodation offers a hands-off, higher-income alternative that’s gaining traction fast, especially in sought-after areas like Crawley and Gatwick.
At Simply Accommodation Ltd, we help landlords turn their properties into professionally managed, high-performing short-term rentals. Learn more about how we support landlords on our property management page.
1. Higher Monthly Income Than Traditional Letting
A typical long-term rental might bring in £1,200 to £1,500 per month. A well-managed serviced apartment or house, on the other hand, can generate £2,000 to £3,000 or more depending on location and occupancy. We use dynamic pricing strategies to maximise your income throughout the year.
2. No More Dealing With Tenants
Forget chasing rent or handling maintenance complaints. We manage every aspect of the guest experience, including:
- Professional listing creation
- Guest screening and ID checks
- 24/7 guest communication
- Cleaning and linen management
- Ongoing maintenance coordination
You stay completely hands-off while your property works harder for you.
3. Flexible Use of Your Property
Unlike traditional tenancies, serviced accommodation gives you flexibility. You can:
- Block out dates for personal use
- Sell the property without needing to evict tenants
- Avoid being tied into long-term contracts
It’s ideal for landlords who want control over their property without sacrificing income.
4. Better Property Upkeep
Serviced accommodation properties are cleaned multiple times per week and checked regularly between guest stays. Issues are identified and fixed quickly, helping maintain the long-term condition and value of your property.
5. No Risk of Rent Arrears or Evictions
Every booking is paid in advance, meaning you’re never waiting on late rent or facing lengthy eviction processes. This makes income far more reliable and predictable than traditional lets.
6. We Handle All Compliance
We stay up to date with all local rules and regulations, including:
- Fire safety and HMO standards
- Guest data compliance
- Insurance requirements
- Local authority guidance
We make sure everything is fully compliant, so you don’t have to worry.
7. A Fully Managed, Passive Income Solution
We take care of everything from the moment you hand over the keys. This includes:
- Marketing across Airbnb, Booking.com and direct channels
- Calendar management and price optimisation
- Housekeeping and guest communication
- Maintenance coordination
- Monthly reporting and financial summaries
With Simply Accommodation, your property is in safe hands while you enjoy a completely passive income stream.
