    For West Yorkshire Landlords

    Airbnb Management or a Company Let

    Apex Stays helps West Yorkshire landlords either run their property as a professionally managed Airbnb or explore a Company Let with agreed rent. Which route makes sense depends on the property, the numbers and what you want from it.

    Airbnb Management

    You keep the income generated by the property while Apex Stays handles the short-stay operation.

    Company Let

    An operator rents the property under an agreed arrangement and runs the accommodation business.

    What are you actually looking for from the property?

    • I want more income potential, but I don’t want to manage Airbnb myself.
    • I’d rather know what rent has been agreed each month.
    • I’m fed up with tenants or letting agents.
    • My property is empty and still costing me money.
    • I genuinely don’t know which option would suit me.

    Different landlords want different things. That’s why we don’t push every property into the same model.

    Your Options

    What could you actually do with the property?

    Comparison only

    Traditional Tenancy

    A traditional rental model where a tenant occupies the property and pays rent.

    Not an Apex Stays service

    Airbnb Management

    Apex Stays operates the short-stay business for the landlord. Income varies with property performance and the landlord retains the potential upside and downside.

    Company Let

    The property is rented to an operator under an agreed arrangement. The operator runs the accommodation business and the landlord receives the agreed rent.

    Not sure which one would actually suit you?

    We can look at the property, what you want from it and the realistic costs before giving you our initial view.

    We’ll compare a Traditional Tenancy, Airbnb Management and a Company Let and explain which route we would look at first.

    But which option could actually leave me better off?

    The highest headline income is not always the best option. Setup costs, operating costs, voids, management, local demand, property condition and how much risk or involvement you want can all affect which route makes the most sense.

    That’s why we look at more than one number before recommending a route.

    Real Apex Stays Properties

    We operate this model ourselves.

    These are real properties Apex Stays operates and manages. We deal with the pricing, guests, cleaners, property standards and day-to-day realities of short-stay accommodation ourselves.

    The setup required, costs and responsibilities depend on the individual property and the route agreed.

    Apex Stays Service 01 — Airbnb Management

    Want Airbnb income without running Airbnb yourself?

    Apex Stays takes control of the guest-facing short-stay operation while you remain the property owner.

    How much does it cost?

    10% of net booking incomeInclusive of VAT under the current management model. Other property and operating costs remain separate.

    What does Apex Stays do?

    • 01Pricing and revenue management
    • 02Listings and booking channels
    • 03Guest communication and check-in
    • 04Cleaner coordination
    • 05Property-condition monitoring
    • 06Monthly reporting and optimisation

    What does the landlord still do?

    The landlord remains responsible for the property itself and the agreed ownership, setup, maintenance and operating costs. Apex Stays takes control of the short-stay operation.

    How much could I make?

    That depends on the property. That’s exactly what the Airbnb Valuation is designed to help you understand.

    “But how do I know it will actually get bookings?”

    Nobody can guarantee bookings. What Apex Stays can control is how well the property is researched, presented, priced, positioned and continuously optimised.

    • 01Demand research
    • 02Comparable-property research
    • 03Strong property presentation
    • 04Dynamic pricing
    • 05Ongoing performance optimisation

    Want to know what your property could realistically look like as an Airbnb?

    We’ll review the property, local demand, comparable short stays, likely costs and the setup required before giving you an initial view of its Airbnb potential.

    Apex Stays Service 02 — Company Let

    Prefer agreed rent without running the short-stay business?

    With a Company Let, the property is rented to an operator under an agreed arrangement. The operator runs the accommodation business while you receive the agreed rent.

    What do I earn?

    An agreed rent based on the property and the individual agreement.

    What does the operator do?

    The operator handles the guest-facing accommodation business and takes the short-stay booking and operating risk.

    What does the landlord do?

    The landlord remains the property owner and fulfils the responsibilities agreed in the Company Let. Exact maintenance and property responsibilities depend on the individual agreement.

    Who actually rents my property?

    Depending on the property and suitability, this may be Apex Stays or another suitable operator introduced through our network.

    But how do I know my property will be looked after?

    Looking after the property is part of running a successful short-stay business. Poor condition can lead to guest complaints, refunds, weaker reviews and poorer future performance, so keeping the property at a good standard matters to the operator too.

    • 01Online check-in and ID verification
    • 02Guest screening
    • 03Deposit / damage process
    • 04Clear house rules
    • 05Post-stay cleaner evidence
    • 06Post-clean video evidence
    • 07Property-condition monitoring

    Apex Stays is a review-based accommodation business. Keeping properties clean, well presented and properly maintained protects both your property and the Apex Stays reputation.
