The three questions we hear most
Let's deal with the important bits.
01
How much is management going to cost me?
Our management fee is 10% of net booking income on the 6-month option, or 8% on the 12-month option. Both are inclusive of VAT, with a £500 one-off onboarding fee.
- Clear management pricing
- No hidden Apex Stays management fees
- Every deduction shown on your owner statement
02
Will it actually get bookings?
Nobody can guarantee bookings. What Apex Stays can do is increase the probability by targeting multiple guest markets, listing across multiple booking channels, using direct-booking routes, dynamic pricing, local demand monitoring and ongoing optimisation.
- Multiple guest markets
- 10+ booking channels
- Dynamic pricing
- Demand monitoring
- Ongoing optimisation
We don't just list the property and hope.
03
How do I know my property won't get trashed?
Short stays will never be completely risk-free. Apex Stays reduces that risk and keeps visibility over the property through controls around the guest journey and regular property monitoring.
- Guest vetting
- Online check-in form process
- ID verification
- Deposits
- Guest screening
- Regular cleaner evidence
- Property monitoring

What's Required to Operate Airbnb?
The exact requirements depend on the property, but these are some of the main areas we check before launch.
Property Safety
Gas Safety
Required where gas is present.
Electrical Safety
The property's electrical installation must meet the relevant standard.
Fire Safety
Appropriate fire controls based on the property and risk assessment.
Smoke & CO Alarms
Correct detection installed and working.
Fire Risk Assessment
The property's fire risks and controls assessed.
Property Permissions
Insurance
Suitable insurance for the intended short-stay use.
Permission
Mortgage, lease or freeholder terms must permit the intended use where applicable.
Local Requirements
Relevant planning or local-authority requirements checked where needed.
Apex Stays checks these areas during onboarding so issues are identified before launch.
Apex Stays does not provide legal advice. Where specialist advice or certification is required, the appropriate professional should be used.
Property Setup
How Much Does It Cost to Set Up an Airbnb?
There is no fixed setup cost because every property starts from a different position. However, we can give landlords and hosts a realistic planning guide based on property size.
Typical Setup Guide
1 Bedroom
Estimated setup
Approx. £3,150
2 Bedroom
Estimated setup
Approx. £4,050
3 Bedroom
Estimated setup
Approx. £5,050
Typical estimated setup cost, not a fixed quote. Final cost depends on the property's existing condition, furniture, specification and work required.
These estimates are based on an Apex Stays staging template and exclude labour costs. Setup can be considerably cheaper if the property is self-set up and furniture is self-sourced, including suitable good-quality second-hand furniture.
Setting it up yourself?
Apex Stays is happy to advise on the required standard, suitable furniture and where we recommend sourcing items.
Need more help?
Apex Stays can also quote separately for staging and setup support.
Why Choose Apex Stays?
We don't manage this from a textbook. We operate it ourselves.
Apex Stays manages the same pricing, guest, cleaning and operational challenges we deal with in our own accommodation.

How We Increase the Probability of Bookings
Multi-Market Targeting
At least three suitable guest markets
Before launch, Apex Stays aims to identify at least three realistic guest markets the property can appeal to. The property and listing are then built around the types of guests we actually expect to book.
The property and listing are built around who we actually expect to book.
Multiple Platforms
We don't rely on one booking website
Apex Stays distributes suitable properties across multiple booking channels rather than relying only on Airbnb and Booking.com.
10+ booking channels where appropriate.
Direct Bookings
Demand outside the OTAs
Managed properties can receive exposure through Apex Stays direct-booking channels, local landing pages and website presence. Business outreach where appropriate.
Dynamic Pricing
Rates move with demand
Dynamic pricing software helps adjust rates according to real booking demand rather than leaving one static price all year.
Event & Demand Monitoring
We actively monitor what's happening locally
Local events, peak dates and demand periods are factored into pricing and availability strategy across Leeds, Bradford, Halifax and Huddersfield.
Ongoing Optimisation
Launch isn't the end
Apex Stays reviews pricing, occupancy, booking patterns, listing presentation, stay rules and channel performance and makes changes when needed.
Nobody can guarantee bookings. But there is a big difference between putting a property online and actively running it as an accommodation business.
