Short-let management in Reading
Reading is the commercial centre of the Thames Valley and one of the strongest corporate short-let markets outside London. Technology employers and a major rail interchange keep demand consistent through the year.
The property
What we manage in Reading
Apartments in the central developments and around the station, plus Victorian terraces in the surrounding neighbourhoods. Central flats let best to the corporate market.
Who stays in Reading
Contractors and consultants on multi-week stays, conference and event visitors, and university-related demand. Reading Festival week is the single strongest pricing event of the year.

What we handle
Everything below is ours for the length of the agreement, in Reading as everywhere else we manage.
- Listing optimisationThe listing rewritten for how guests actually search, then revised on what the data says.
- PhotographyA professional shoot, staged properly, and reshot when the property changes.
- Dynamic pricingRates moved against real demand, so the calendar fills at the best rate it can.
- Guest communicationEvery message, at any hour, from the first enquiry to the last review.
- Cleaning and linenHotel-standard turnarounds, photographed, with linen that is replaced rather than nursed.
- MaintenanceEmergencies answered the same day, and the small things caught before a guest finds them.
- Review managementReviews asked for properly, answered properly, and used to fix what they point at.
- Monthly reportingOccupancy, revenue, costs, our fee and your payout, on one statement, every month.
