Preparing your 365 journey
365 / Property management
We do not start by promising that every property should become a nightly short let. We start with the asset, location, owner objectives and the practical operating model.
Property first
Bedrooms, layout, access, parking, building rules, local demand and the surrounding area all change the right strategy. A prime one-bedroom apartment and a six-bedroom contractor house should not be managed the same way.
Demand
Leisure bookings can matter, but so can corporate projects, relocation, insurance stays, contractors and extended assignments. The mix should fit the local market rather than a generic occupancy target.
Operations
Guest communication, readiness, cleaning, maintenance coordination, issue handling and distribution discipline determine whether a property performs without becoming a constant problem for the owner.
Alternative routes
Where an AST, HMO or more traditional letting route makes greater commercial or operational sense, the wider 365 network can route the property toward JAM Lettings rather than forcing it into a short-let model.
365 / FAQs
The questions landlords and property owners ask when they are comparing Airbnb management, serviced accommodation and longer-stay strategies.
Airbnb management can include listing and distribution, guest communication, pricing decisions, cleaning and readiness coordination, maintenance handling and day-to-day operating oversight. The exact scope should be agreed around the property rather than assumed from a generic package.
Look beyond headline commission. Ask how the manager thinks about your specific location, likely guest mix, longer stays, operations, maintenance, reporting and alternative strategies when nightly Airbnb demand is not the strongest option.
Yes. Long-stay Airbnb and serviced accommodation management is a core 365 specialism. Depending on the property and market, longer corporate, contractor, relocation, insurance and project stays can form part of the demand strategy alongside shorter bookings.
They overlap, but they are not identical. Airbnb is a distribution channel, while serviced accommodation management covers the wider operating model including guest operations, cleaning, maintenance, pricing, distribution and potentially bookings from many sources.
Yes, where the location, property and stay requirements fit. Corporate projects, contractors and relocation guests often need furnished accommodation for weeks or months, which can suit a longer-stay strategy.
No. The operating strategy can involve multiple booking channels, direct or partner demand and longer-stay sources. Airbnb can be important without being the entire commercial strategy.
Potentially, yes. Medium and extended stays are particularly relevant to the 365 model. Suitability depends on location, local rules, property configuration, owner objectives and realistic demand.
No. Building rules, local regulation, access, layout, demand and owner priorities can make another route more sensible. Where appropriate, traditional AST or HMO strategies can be considered through the wider 365 network and JAM Lettings.
A useful first assessment normally starts with the postcode, property type, bedroom count, current use and what you want the property to achieve. Additional information such as parking, access, restrictions and existing performance can then refine the conversation.
365 has a dedicated London Airbnb management route and evaluates London properties around their location, property type, operating constraints and potential mix of leisure and extended-stay demand.
We do not present unverified income or occupancy guarantees as a substitute for assessing the property. Performance depends on the asset, market, pricing, regulations, seasonality, operating quality and demand.
The wider management model is designed to assess different hospitality assets, including vacation homes, aparthotels, independent hotels and distinctive estates. Those properties require different operating and commercial strategies rather than simply being treated as larger Airbnbs.

Send the postcode, property type, bedroom count and what you want the property to achieve. We can then have a more useful conversation than simply asking whether you want Airbnb management.
