Serviced Accommodation (SA) means short-term furnished lets—typically 3-6 month placements. Rather than traditional long-term tenants, you attract corporate relocations, people between permanence, contractors, and holiday visitors. Properties are listed on platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and Furnished Lets, and charged nightly or weekly rates.
Where a standard BTL might earn £600/month, a well-run SA property in a good location can earn £2,000-£4,000+ monthly through short-term lets. The key is location, presentation, and proactive management.
SA works best in city centres, near business parks, university towns, and areas with high corporate demand. Properties need to be furnished, decorated attractively, and equipped with essentials (wifi, TV, washing machine, kitchenette).
A 1-bed flat listed at £45/night generates £1,350/month occupancy (30 days). A 2-bed at £65/night makes £1,950. With 70-80% occupancy (average), you're looking at £945-£1,560 from the 1-bed, or £1,365-£1,560 from the 2-bed. The yields far exceed standard BTL.
Our SA deal packs include:
SA requires more hands-on management than traditional lettings—turnovers between guests, cleaning, maintenance scheduling. Many investors outsource via property managers or lettings agencies. We vet managers and include management cost estimates in deal analysis.
Serviced Accommodation is for investors comfortable with active management but willing to earn significantly higher yields. The income is strong and the business model is proven across the UK.
