Why Newcastle works for short lets
Newcastle is the largest short-let market in the North East and the one with genuine seven-day demand. Business travel, a major hospital and university sector, a constant events calendar and one of the strongest weekend leisure markets in the country all feed the same city.
It is also the most competitive. You are listing against professional operators and a growing aparthotel sector, which means location within the city does most of the work. Properties within walking distance of the centre, the quayside or the universities perform on a completely different level to those a mile out.
Entry prices are higher than Teesside and nightly rates follow. The margin for error is thinner — an average listing in Newcastle will underperform a well-run one in Darlington. Active pricing around match days, events and conference dates is where the difference is made.
Why landlords use a professional operator
Self-managing is a job. Messages at 11pm, a cleaner who cancels on a Friday, pricing you never quite get round to reviewing, and a listing that quietly slides down the rankings when your response rate drops.
We’re based in the North East. We’re not a national call centre with a local phone number — when something breaks, someone is at the property the same day.
What it costs
16% of net booking revenue. No monthly retainer, and nothing in a month with no bookings. Cleaning is charged to the guest, not to you. If we can’t beat what you’re making now, we’ll say so on the call.
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.

Pick a time that suits you. Fifteen minutes to chat about your property, where it is, what it’s like, what you want from it. Mostly questions from me.
No numbers on this one. I’ll go away afterwards and work out what it could realistically earn. If it doesn’t stack up I’ll be straight with you. If it does, we’ll get on a second call and go through the report together.
