Common questions
Do I need planning permission for serviced accommodation?
It depends on your council and how the property is used. Some areas require planning for a change of use, and short-let registration or licensing schemes now apply in parts of the UK. Always check locally before you commit.
Can I do serviced accommodation without buying property?
Yes, that is rent-to-SA. You agree terms with a landlord, get written consent, and operate the unit as serviced accommodation.
How much does serviced accommodation earn?
It varies enormously by location, property and season. The honest answer is that it depends on nightly rate and occupancy against your full cost stack, which is exactly what our deal analyser is for.
