Frequently Asked Questions

What does your Airbnb management service include?

Our full-service Airbnb management covers guest communications, booking management, key exchange, professional cleaning between stays, linen service, property inspections, dynamic pricing, listing optimisation, and 24/7 guest support. We handle everything so you can be a truly hands-off host.

How much do you charge for Airbnb management in Exeter?

Our management fee is typically 15-20% of booking revenue, depending on property size and services required. This covers all aspects of day-to-day management. We'll provide a tailored quote based on your specific property.

Do I need planning permission for an Airbnb in Exeter?

Short-term letting under 90 nights per year typically doesn't require planning permission. However, if you plan to let for longer periods or your property is in a conservation area, different rules may apply. We can advise on your specific situation.

How do you screen Airbnb guests?

We use a multi-layer screening process including ID verification, review history checks, and direct communication with guests before booking confirmation. We also set appropriate house rules and use Airbnb's host guarantee protection.

Can you manage my property on multiple platforms?

Yes, we list your property across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and direct booking channels. We use channel management software to sync calendars and prevent double bookings.

What happens if something gets damaged?

We document property condition before and after each stay with photos. For any damage, we handle the claims process through the platform's host protection or your short-let insurance. We can also recommend appropriate insurance policies.
