For Property Owners

Serviced Accommodation Management

The corporate and contractor accommodation market in Exeter continues to grow, driven by major employers like the Met Office, Exeter Science Park, and ongoing construction projects. Property owners who position their assets correctly can earn significantly more than traditional buy-to-let rates.

But serviced accommodation requires more than listing on Airbnb. Corporate clients expect hotel-like service: fast response times, immaculate properties, and reliable support throughout their stay. That's where professional management makes the difference.

Corporate Client Acquisition: Relationships with relocation agents, corporate travel departments, contractor accommodation providers

Monthly Reporting: Occupancy rates, income statements, guest feedback summaries

Why Corporate Clients Choose Exeter

Exeter's economy is thriving, with major employers including the University of Exeter, Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, the Met Office, and a growing tech sector at Exeter Science Park. These organisations regularly need accommodation for visiting staff, new recruits, and project teams.

Construction projects across Devon generate steady demand from contractors who prefer furnished accommodation to hotels for multi-week assignments. Our portfolio serves these varied needs, from city-centre apartments for executives to larger houses for contractor teams.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between serviced accommodation and Airbnb?

Serviced accommodation typically targets business travellers and contractors on extended stays (1 week to 6+ months), offering more hotel-like amenities. Airbnb tends toward shorter leisure stays. The income potential per night is often higher with serviced accommodation, and guests are usually lower-maintenance.

What type of property works best for serviced accommodation?

Properties near business parks (Exeter Science Park, Sowton), the city centre, or the hospital work well. 1-2 bedroom apartments are ideal for business travellers, while 3+ bedroom houses suit contractor teams. Good transport links and parking are valued by corporate guests.

How do you find corporate clients?

We have established relationships with relocation agents, corporate travel managers, and contractor accommodation providers. We also list on specialist platforms like Booking.com for Business and SilverDoor. Many bookings come from repeat corporate clients we've built relationships with over 18 years.

What's included in your serviced accommodation management?

We provide end-to-end management: property setup and furnishing advice, professional photography, corporate booking management, guest vetting, weekly housekeeping during long stays, utility management, 24/7 guest support, and monthly owner reporting.

What rent options are available for serviced accommodation?

For suitable properties we can discuss fixed monthly rent arrangements where we pay you a set amount regardless of occupancy. Terms and eligibility depend on property type, location, and current market conditions. We'll explain all options during your property appraisal.

What returns can I expect vs traditional buy-to-let?

Serviced accommodation typically yields 20-40% more than traditional buy-to-let, depending on property and location. However, there are higher running costs (furnishing, utilities, cleaning). We provide detailed projections before you commit.
