HOW TO READ THE NUMBERS
What gross means, and what moves it
Gross, not net
Gross is everything guests paid for their stays, including the cleaning fee, before our percentage and any booking-site commission. Your net is gross less our fee, the cleaning cost and the running costs: utilities, supplies, repairs and the levy where it applies. Your statement on the 8th shows all of it line by line.
Location and size
These matter most. A two-bed near the stadium or the station earns more per night than a one-bed on the edge of town, and sells more nights in the quiet months.
Finish and reviews
Homes that photograph well and sleep well get better reviews, and better reviews lift the rate. The finish is the one lever an owner controls completely.
The calendar
Match days, concerts and graduation weeks, balanced by weekday stays from people working in the city. Longer stays smooth the quiet months: in the year to September 2026, 45% of our nights came from stays of a week or more.

QUESTIONS OWNERS ASK
About these figures
Are these figures typical?
They are real, and they are the homes we chose to write up. Some of our homes earn less. We will tell you where yours is likely to sit before you sign anything.
Why is there no calculator?
Calculators use market averages and tend to flatter. A person who has run comparable homes gives you a tighter range, and tells you why.
Is the income guaranteed?
No. Our fee is a share of what the home earns, so we have the same interest you do, but we do not guarantee occupancy or income. We do offer guaranteed rent on some homes; ask us.
How do I get figures for my home?
Fill in the short form. We reply within one working day with a range from homes we have actually run.
