Unsold stock waiting for a buyer, a conversion just approved, a refurbishment about to finish. These are exactly the situations where short letting works best: income straight away, and no lock on the sale.
Property tax, service charges, minimum utilities and insurance run regardless, and meanwhile that home produces nothing. Every month of waiting is money going out and not coming back.
On a short let the same unit covers those costs and generates margin, without tying your hands. No multi-year contract, no tenant to move out when the buyer turns up.
Number of bathrooms, real bed count, where the washing machine ends up, how many sockets beside the bed, what light the kitchen needs. These are the details that move the nightly rate and the reviews, and they cost almost nothing when decided at the design stage. Redoing them later costs a building site. Involve us early and the units are born ready to earn.
With our surveyor, who specialises in hospitality use: cadastral category, requirements for residential or hospitality use, what is actually needed for the Italian CIN and CIR codes, and which works make the difference at authorisation stage. Better to find out with the site still open than after completion.
Furnishing, photography, listings, calendars and paperwork: from handover to the first guest we handle all of it. You get a monthly statement and the net figure, without touching anything.
A standard Italian long lease locks the sale for years and lowers the price you can get out at. A short let does not: when you find the buyer, the unit frees up on the timescale you choose, with no negotiation and no pay-off.
The work changes, not just the number. Calendars have to talk to each other, cleaning has to be sequenced, check-ins bunch on the same days, and above all the units must not compete with each other on price: two listings in the same building stealing each other’s guests lower the revenue of both.
We run everything on a single property management system, with Booking.com and Airbnb on the same calendar, and prices reviewed by hand every day against trade fairs, events and real demand in the city.
Across several units the fee is set by volume, after the site visit. Cleaning stays invoiced directly by the external company, with no hidden margin inside our percentage.
Five rooms with private bathrooms in the heart of the city, with no history, no reviews and no listing online. The project was built from scratch: furnishing, photography, channel positioning, pricing. More than 200,000 euro of gross revenue in the first year of management. It is the same way of working we bring to a newly handed over property.
Send us floor plans and handover dates: we will tell you what it would earn today, which changes are worth making while there is still time, and how we would set up the management. The site visit is free and commits you to nothing.
