Landlords/Investors – Why use Property Keeper?

Other serviced accommodation companies will rent your property from you at a fixed rate. Property Keeper pays all of the revenue to you and charges a small commission. Our disruptive business model removes the middle man (the serviced accommodation tenant) and puts all their would be profits back into your pocket.

Serviced accommodation offers great tax savings for your business including exemption from section 24 and the ability to claim capital improvement on setup costs.

You do not need a HMO license for large properties.

We can produce the figures for you fast and free. Simply call us on 01604 589 939.

Net vs Gross commission

Unlike other management agencies, Property Keeper only charges commission on the net booking revenue.

A common tactic used by agencies is to charge gross commission on all revenue collected at your property, this can lead to significantly higher fees.

Once you factor in cleaning fees and OTA commission, you could be paying as much as 25% commission to an agency charging 15% gross commission. With Property Keeper, 15% means 15% and never more.

Our goal is always to keep our fees transparent and as low as possible. The price caps we apply further protects your property from runaway fees with high value bookings.

Adaptive Financials

It’s important that our fees are economically sustainable.

As your property business grows, we want to ensure our fees further adapt to increase your profitability.

Multiple property landlords seeking expansion will be able to renegotiate lower commission rates with their account manager.

The short term rentals market is dynamic in nature. Therefore, it’s important a management agency offers you flexibility when needed.
