What Companies Pay For

Rates, length of stay and the numbers behind corporate accommodation

Corporate accommodation offers longer bookings and steadier occupancy than tourist lets, housing people such as relocating managers, project engineers, nurses on placement and families displaced while their home is repaired. This book shows you how to work out what that business actually earns. It picks out the few numbers that matter among the many, explains where to find reliable local data for free, and warns against the optimistic forecast that ruins new operators. The cost chapter explains why corporate accommodation carries costs a standard tenancy never does. Each forecast is then stress-tested against a bad month, a void and a rate rise, and a complete worked example brings every number together on one realistic property. You finish with a repeatable calculator for appraising any corporate accommodation opportunity in minutes, and a clear list of the legal questions it cannot answer. Next in this series: “Contracts With Businesses”.
