What you get
Typically more income than a long let
Short-let nightly rates typically outperform standard tenancies. We price dynamically against local demand, events and seasonality so your property earns what it should.
Zero involvement
Guest messages, check-ins, cleaning, linen, restocking, maintenance callouts. All of it sits with us. You get a monthly statement and your payout.
Your property, protected
Guest vetting and damage cover on every booking. Regular inspections. We treat the property like an asset, because that's what it is to you.
Short let or long-term tenant?
A short let can earn considerably more than a tenancy, but it also carries costs a tenancy doesn't: cleaning between every stay, consumables, utilities and empty nights. The number that matters is what lands in your account after all of it.
For some properties the difference is substantial. For others it's marginal, and we'll say so. That's what the projection is for.
Rough numbers
What could your property earn?
Two numbers and we'll give you a rough range, after the running costs a tenancy doesn't have. Not sure on the nightly rate? Search your postcode on Airbnb and look at similar places.
Short let, after running costs
You'll make between 20-80% more than your rent, after running costs
On these figures the short let looks ahead, but the range is wide for a reason.
That range assumes the property is priced daily against local demand, photographed properly and listed across every platform rather than just Airbnb. That's most of what we actually do.
That figure is after running costs and after our commission, it's what would actually reach you.
Let's talk about the actual figures
The range above is deliberately wide because it's built on averages. The real number comes from three things this page can't know:
- What comparable properties on your street are actually charging and filling
- Realistic occupancy for your property type, in your area, across a full year
- Your actual running costs, not average ones
Fifteen minutes on the phone and we'll pull the real comparables, walk you through how we'd run the property, and send you a written projection with the reasoning shown. Yours to keep whether you go ahead or not, and if short lets aren't right for your property, we'll say so.

A rough guide, not a projection. Based on the figures you've entered and general assumptions about cleaning, platform fees, bills and management. Your property, area and season all change the answer.
We only earn when your property does
No monthly retainer, and nothing at all in a month with no bookings. We’re paid a percentage of what the property brings in, which means we’re pushing the same direction you are. A six-month initial term to start, then a month’s notice either way, set out plainly rather than buried in the small print.
Fully insured, ICO registered, Property Redress Scheme member, Client Money Protection in place. Your funds are held properly and there's an independent route if you ever need one.

Your journey
How it works, from first call to going live
Most properties are live and earning within two to three weeks.
- Step 1
Free call and income projection
A conversation about the property, the area and what you want from it. We look at the layout, the location and the local short-let market.
- Step 2
Written income projection
Comparable properties in your area, realistic occupancy rather than best-case, seasonal variation and estimated running costs. We show the reasoning, not just the number. No obligation attached.
- Step 3
Management agreement and onboarding
A clear agreement covering term, notice, commission and responsibilities. Nothing buried in the small print.
- Step 4
Professional setup
Listing build, pricing strategy, fire risk assessment and safety equipment, compliance checks, key handling and guest systems. We arrange the photography and point you to the right people, but you pay them direct.
- Step 5
Live management and reporting
The property goes live across channels. Monthly statements and a named contact who answers.
Who you're dealing with
I’m Luke. I run Cyclopean Estates, and I’ll be the one managing your property — not a call centre and not a shared inbox.
Before this I built Coached by Greeny, an online coaching business I’ve run for years. Different industry, same discipline: you don’t get a result from one clever move. You find the one percent, then you find it again, and you keep finding it for months while nobody’s watching.
That’s exactly what running a short let is. A better first photo. A price that shifts for a bank holiday. Replying in ten minutes instead of ten hours. On their own none of them matter. Stacked up over a year they decide whether a property is full or empty.
Coaching also taught me what it means to look after something that belongs to someone else. People handed me their money and their goals and trusted me not to waste either. A property is the same deal with more zeros on it.
I take pride in helping people reach their potential and watching them grow. That hasn’t changed — it’s just properties now instead of people.
