Airbnb Management FAQs
Q. Can I still use my property?
Yes — you remain free to stay at your property. Bookings always take priority, but as long as you let us know your intended dates, we can block out your calendar. Last-minute stays are possible if the dates are still free, but cancelling confirmed guest bookings may incur fees.
Q. How, and when, do I get paid?
We pay owners within the first 7 days of each month, covering the previous month’s completed stays. You’ll receive a full breakdown of bookings and income, less our agreed commission.
Q. How much does Airbnb management cost?
Our fee is typically between 15–20% of the Airbnb payout, depending on the property and level of work required. This covers cleaning, laundry, and preparing your property for each new guest.
Q. How long is the contract?
We ask for an initial 6-month contract, with the property available for at least 4 of those months.
Q. I already have an Airbnb listing — can you still help?
Yes. We can join as a co-host and manage your listing on your behalf, optimising performance and maximising returns.
Q. I haven’t purchased yet — can you advise on the market?
We’re happy to explain how our service works and advise on preparing a property once you own it. We are not financial advisors and cannot offer investment guidance.
Q. My property needs work before it’s ready — can you help?
Yes. We work with trusted local trades to get properties guest-ready, including safety certificates and essential improvements.
Q. What do I still need to manage myself?
Owners usually retain responsibility for property insurance, TV licence, utilities, and broadband. Some prefer us to manage these too — we can tailor our service to suit your needs.
