For aparthotel operators

Long-stay lettings for aparthotels: we fill the nights you can't sell

Every aparthotel has nights it cannot sell — mid-week, shoulder season, the slow floors. We fill them with referenced long-stay residents from the residential portals your nightly distribution never reaches, and you are paid per room we fill.

Your quiet periods

What your empty rooms could earn.

A filled room at a residential rent beats an empty one at rack. You are paid only for the rooms we fill.

The model applies a 80% fill assumption to empty room-nights. It shows £0 if fewer than 30 nights could be filled and assumes the nights can form qualifying stays. A room-by-room calendar and residential valuation are needed for a forecast.

The model

Your empty space, sold to a different market.

Most aparthotel operators have never sold to the residential extended-stay market — they don't have the channels, the contracts or the audience. We do. We take only what your nightly business cannot shift, and pay you per room we fill.

01

Your inventory

Rooms your nightly business isn't selling — mid-week voids, shoulder season, the slow floors.

02

We take it over

On the dates you give us. You open inventory to us from a shared calendar, so nothing collides with your nightly bookings.

03

We list it on our residential channels

Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, our 1.2M-strong renter network and direct corporate accounts. The same channels we use to let residential stock.

04

You're paid a residential rate

Per room, per month, on the 1st. No nightly clearing, no chargebacks, no breakfast disputes.

On top of what you have

Nothing to lose on the nights you were selling anyway.

A residential resident pays less per night than a nightly guest — and costs far less to serve. One check-in instead of thirty, monthly housekeeping instead of daily, no turn-down and no breakfast cover. On nights you are not selling, that trade is all upside.

The model assumes monthly housekeeping, with a total servicing allowance of £180 per occupied room per 30 days (£6 per night). This is an allowance, not a cleaning quote.

The example uses 1,869 modelled long-stay nights. Actual results depend on consecutive room availability.

Your empty nights are someone’s next four months. We sell them to a market your nightly distribution has never reached.

A residential channel · not your nightly one
Why operators take a look

Seven reasons aparthotels join.

We run the long-stay channel for aparthotel and serviced-apartment operators across the UK. It sits alongside your existing channel mix, takes only the rooms you offer, and can be scaled back at any time.

Furnished serviced apartment living area
01 · The big one

An occupancy floor under your nightly business.

Long-stay tenants fill the unsold midweek and shoulder-season rooms your STR strategy can't. You open the dates to us from a shared calendar, so they never collide with leisure bookings — and you keep your highest-yield weekends.

02

Lower cost per occupied night.

Long-stay guests cost a fraction of a nightly guest to service. Fewer check-ins, far fewer turn cleans (monthly housekeeping vs daily), no breakfast service, no daily turndown. Same revenue, lower OPEX.

03

Corporate-grade vetting.

Every long-stay guest goes through the same six-check pipeline as a residential tenant. Employer confirmation, right-to-rent, affordability — done before they book.

04

Monthly rent, paid in advance.

No nightly clearing fees, no chargebacks, no breakfast disputes. One direct debit per guest, hits your account on the 1st.

05

One named account manager.

Not a portal helpdesk. A real person who learns your inventory, picks up the phone, and chases the contracts.

06

No lock-in, use us when you need us.

Flex partnership, not a tied contract. Open inventory the weeks you need to fill, close it the weeks you don't. Pause for a season, scale through Q1 — you call the shots.

07

A channel you can try, not a commitment.

Offer a handful of rooms in your quietest quarter and see what comes back. Change the allocation whenever your forecast does — there is nothing to unwind if it is not for you.

The four questions we always get

Asked by every revenue manager, in this order.

No, because it is a separate channel with a separate audience. Residential extended-stay renters are not shopping your nightly rate, and we never list against you.

Channel

Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket

Residential portals your nightly distribution does not touch. Different search, different intent, different buyer.

Rate parity

Not affected

Let at a monthly residential rate, never published as a nightly rate anywhere.

Your book

Keeps the peak

You offer the rooms you struggle to sell — not the ones that fill at rack in August.

Who books a long stay

Five demand sources. All steady.

Long-stay isn't tourists. It's people whose employer is paying, whose home is on fire, or who need to live in a city they don't live in. Sober demand, low cancellation risk, steady cash.

How it works

Sign on a Tuesday. First booking by month-end.

01

We meet your portfolio

A 45-minute call walks us through your inventory, rates, blocks and channel setup. We'll know your business by the end of the week.

02

You open dates to us

No integration, no migration — you share the rooms and dates you want filled from a simple calendar. Your nightly bookings stay exactly where they are.

03

We match demand to your gaps

Our enterprise sales team places vetted long-stay tenants into the dates your nightly business can't fill.

04

You're paid monthly

Per-stay invoices generated automatically, paid by the corporate account or the tenant on the 1st. We handle the chasing.

Where that leaves you

The deal, as it stands.

Indicative, not an offer. Bring it to the call with your own occupancy report and we will price the rooms properly against your calendar.

It's not for everyone.

Whether this is worth doing depends on your building's existing performance. If your nightly business is running 90%+ year-round, you don't need us. If you've got slow weeks, slow floors, or a launching property still finding its feet — there's probably a number that works for both sides.

Worth a call
  • Your annual occupancy is sub-90% and you can see exactly which dates aren't selling
  • You have a floor, wing or unit type that systematically under-performs
  • You're a new opening still ramping toward stabilised occupancy
  • Your shoulder season costs more in operating overhead than it brings in
  • You want a counter-cyclical channel that isn't correlated with leisure travel
Probably not for you
  • You're consistently above 90% occupancy and ADR is strong
  • Your nightly ADR clears more than the residential rate we'd pay, even on slow weeks
  • You can't commit any inventory — your channel manager is fully booked through your STR strategy
  • Your building isn't configured for stays over 30 nights (no in-suite laundry, weekly servicing only, etc.)
  • You're already running a meaningful long-stay channel of your own and the markets would overlap
FAQ

What operators ask in the first call.

Will long-stay tenants collide with my nightly bookings?

No. We only fill the dates you've opened to us. You keep weekends and peak leisure — we take midweek, shoulder season and the gaps between leisure peaks.

What's the minimum stay you'll book?

We focus on 30 nights and up. The economics don't work below that — and frankly, neither do the tenant profiles we vet for. If you want one-week corporate cover, your usual STR channels do that better.

Who handles damages and complaints?

We do. Every long-stay tenant signs a stay agreement with us, not directly with you. Damages come out of their security deposit (held with the DPS); we manage the dispute end-to-end. You see a finished invoice, not a fight.

Can you handle a brand-new property pre-launch?

Yes — and corporate accounts often prefer pre-launch inventory because they're first in. We've helped operators hit 60%+ occupancy in month one with the right pricing and lead time.

What if I want to stop?

30 days' notice, no exit fee. We honour any in-flight bookings to their natural end date, then you simply stop opening dates to us. You keep the relationship with any guest who wants to rebook directly.
