LEGISLATIVE BENEFITS

EPC 2025

With over 3 million homes falling short of the new epc standard from 2025 (costing them on average £8000), it's no wonder many landlords are now coming to us to help them get around this by using our serviced accommodation model

Section 21

With the rising inflation and the cost of living increase, landlords can not afford for their tenants to miss payments, and to make matters worse, it is taking an average of 12 months to evict tenants at the moment. We can help you avoid this with our serviced accommodation model

Section 24

Want to save on tax? Even if you're not registered as a limited company?Another reason our landlords are overjoyed with us. Get in touch to see how we can do the same for you.

TAX BENEFITS

Capital Gains Tax Reliefs

The good news about having a SA is you can claim a range of tax reliefs that are usually reserved for traders. These include Entrepreneur’s Relief, Hold Over Relief, Relief for Gifts of Business Assets, Relief for Loans to Traders and Roll Over Relief.

Capital Allowances

As the owner of a Serviced apartment, you are allowed to claim Capital Allowance for items such as equipment, household fixtures and furniture. This means that if you decide to go to town with decorating and furnishing your SA, you will be able to deduct these costs from your pre-tax profits.

Pension Contribution

Any profit that you make from your SA is considered as ‘relevant earnings’ which means you can make tax-advantaged pension contributions.

Council Tax or Business Rates 

Serviced apartments do not pay council tax. As the owner of a SA you should register for business rates, which will be calculated by your local council. In general, these rates will be lower than council tax.

BTL vs SA

Increased profits

Typically, the same property will generate 2/3x more profit for the landlord or investor, opening many more options for them.

No more nonpaying tenants

With a BTL, you have a contract in place that if the tenant breaks, it takes about 12 months to actually evict them. As a Serviced Accommodation provider, you have no tenants but instead you have guests that pay you even before they arrive.

Property in pristine condition at all times

Due to the nature of the business, Serviced Accommodation properties have to be kept in pristine condition at all times, whilst it's difficult to predict what your property will look like at the end of a tenancy, generally, you will be planning for the worst

More control

Our landlords have full control of their property, many of them for the first time in years. With our services, you decide when it's occupied and when you want to keep it available for yourself, whether that is to host family, guests, it doesn't matter what you need it for, the fact is it is in your complete control with the utmost flexibility to use your asset to it's best advantage.

Extended Stays Now Make Up 30% of Bookings: How to Cash In on the 7+ Night Trend

Extended Stays Now Make Up 30% of Bookings: How to Cash In on the 7+ Night Trend

September 27, 20256 min read

The short-term rental landscape is shifting dramatically, and savvy landlords are taking notice. Extended stays: bookings of seven nights or longer: are becoming the goldmine of the Airbnb world, offering higher profits, lower operational costs, and more predictable income streams than traditional one or two-night bookings.

If you're still stuck in the traditional letting model, you're missing out on a massive opportunity. The data speaks volumes: properties optimized for extended stays are seeing revenue increases of 200-300% compared to traditional six or twelve-month tenancies.

The Numbers Don't Lie: Extended Stays Are Taking Over

The extended accommodation sector has exploded to a staggering $62.8 billion globally in 2025, representing about 7% of the entire travel accommodation market. But here's what's really exciting for UK landlords: 75% of successful short-term rental revenues now come from guests staying seven-plus nights.

image_1

This isn't just an American phenomenon. Across the UK, we're seeing business travellers, relocated professionals, and digital nomads driving demand for quality accommodation that bridges the gap between hotels and traditional rentals. These guests want the comfort of home with the flexibility of short-term arrangements: and they're willing to pay premium rates for it.

The operational advantages are game-changing. While traditional hotels need to process numerous daily check-ins and check-outs, properties optimized for extended stays might only see 5-6 new arrivals per week. This translates to dramatically lower cleaning costs, reduced wear and tear, and significantly less administrative overhead.

Why Extended Stays Beat Traditional Letting Every Time

Let's break down the mathematics of why extended stays crush traditional letting models:

Revenue Potential: A well-positioned short-term rental optimized for extended stays can generate 2-3 times the income of a traditional six-month assured shorthold tenancy. Where a traditional rental might bring in £1,200 per month, the same property can easily command £80-120 per night for extended stay bookings.

Occupancy Optimization: Extended stay guests book for 7-30 nights, meaning you're filling larger chunks of your calendar with single bookings. Instead of scrambling to fill 30 individual nights, you might secure your entire month with just 3-4 bookings.

Reduced Turnover Costs: Every guest changeover costs money: cleaning, laundry, restocking amenities, and your time coordinating. With extended stays, these costs are spread across many more nights, improving your profit margins significantly.

image_2

Premium Pricing Justification: Guests staying a week or longer are typically business travellers, relocated professionals, or people in transition. They value quality, reliability, and service: and they're accustomed to paying for it. This allows you to command rates that would seem outrageous for overnight stays.

The Corporate Extended Stay Gold Rush

Here's where it gets really interesting: 93% of business-to-business extended stay bookings are for seven nights or longer. Corporate housing has become a massive market as companies realize the cost savings compared to traditional corporate apartments or extended hotel stays.

Companies need accommodation for:

  • Employees on temporary assignments

  • New hires relocating to the area

  • Contractors and consultants on project work

  • International staff requiring UK accommodation

  • Teams displaced during office renovations

These corporate bookings often come with higher budgets, longer advance booking windows, and the potential for repeat business. A single corporate client can transform your entire business model.

Maximizing Your Extended Stay Potential

Strategic Property Setup: Extended stay guests have different needs than weekend tourists. They want workspace areas, reliable Wi-Fi, proper kitchen facilities, and comfortable living spaces. Think less "holiday rental" and more "temporary home."

Pricing Strategy Innovation: Successful operators implement tiered pricing that rewards longer stays. You might charge £100/night for 1-6 nights, £85/night for 7-13 nights, £75/night for 14-29 nights, and £65/night for monthly bookings. This pricing structure encourages longer bookings while maintaining profitability.

Amenity Optimization: Stock properties with everything extended stay guests need: quality linens for longer use, proper work lighting, kitchen essentials, and laundry facilities. The initial investment pays dividends through higher guest satisfaction and repeat bookings.

Professional Management Systems: Extended stay properties require different operational approaches. Guest communication becomes ongoing relationship management. Cleaning schedules shift from daily turnovers to weekly maintenance. Property maintenance becomes proactive rather than reactive.

The Technology Advantage

Modern extended stay operations rely heavily on technology to maintain efficiency and profitability. Dynamic pricing tools automatically adjust rates based on local demand, seasonality, and booking patterns. Channel management systems ensure your property appears across multiple booking platforms optimized for different stay lengths.

Guest communication platforms handle the complexity of longer-stay relationships, from pre-arrival briefings to ongoing support throughout their stay. Property management software tracks everything from utility usage to maintenance schedules, ensuring extended stay guests receive consistent service quality.

Direct Booking Optimization: Extended stay guests often prefer booking directly with property managers rather than through third-party platforms. This preference for direct booking: which accounts for 52% of extended stay reservations: means lower commission costs and higher profit margins for operators.

Market Positioning and Growth Strategy

The extended stay market is projected to reach $143.2 billion globally by 2035, growing at 8.6% annually. For UK property owners, this represents an unprecedented opportunity to position properties in a high-growth, high-margin market segment.

image_4

Location Strategy: Extended stay properties work best in locations with business districts, universities, hospitals, and major transport links. These locations provide steady demand from business travellers, academic visitors, and people in life transitions.

Portfolio Development: Consider the extended stay potential of your existing properties. A two-bedroom flat near a business district might generate more revenue as extended stay accommodation than a traditional family rental. Properties near universities can command premium rates during academic terms and corporate rates during holidays.

Professional Management: The Game Changer

Managing extended stay properties requires specialized expertise that most landlords simply don't have time to develop. Professional Airbnb management companies handle everything from dynamic pricing optimization to 24/7 guest support, maintenance coordination, and compliance management.

The operational complexity of extended stays: managing longer guest relationships, optimizing for business travellers, handling corporate bookings: requires systems and expertise that individual landlords struggle to maintain while preserving profitability.

Revenue Optimization: Professional managers use sophisticated pricing algorithms that adjust rates based on local events, seasonal demand, and competitor analysis. They understand how to price extended stays to maximize both occupancy and revenue per available night.

Guest Experience Management: Extended stay guests expect higher service levels than typical short-term rental guests. Professional management ensures consistent quality, prompt issue resolution, and the kind of service that generates repeat bookings and positive reviews.

The extended stay trend isn't slowing down: it's accelerating. Properties positioned to capture this market are seeing remarkable returns while traditional rental properties struggle with rent controls, difficult tenants, and limited profit margins.

The question isn't whether extended stays will continue growing: it's whether you'll position your property to capitalize on this goldmine before your competitors do.

"Before I came across Statera Estates I had this property vacant for 2 years. I was starting to get frustrated and was thinking about selling because I did not want to go back to dealing with regular tenants. If someone had told me 2 years ago that I could make more than double the profits on this property and not having to deal with tenants, I would have never believed them, but that is exactly what has happened. My property is looking the best it ever has, always book booked out and I never have to ask any questions because I have my own portal which allows me to see exactly what is happening at any given point. I could not recommend this company highly enough!"

USEFUL TO KNOW

Lots of landlords are unaware of the potential to increase the income they generate from their properties. So much so that a whole new income strategy has come out of this lack of knowledge, called rent-to-rent.

This is where landlords are offered guaranteed rent for a fixed term, this could be anywhere from 12 - 60 months, the landlord then allows the service provider to sublet the property, which they then turn into serviced apartments. In theory, there are benefits to the landlord, as they no longer have to worry about void periods, management, evictions etc. The difference between what the service provider

rents the property from the landlord for, and what they are able to get on the open market, is theirs to keep as profit

.

AT STATERA ESTATES, WE BELIEVE THERE IS A BETTER WAY!


Having worked with many investors, we understand the landlords journey, the sacrifices they have made to put themselves on the ladder, and as such we believe it is unfair that so many property investors and landlords are missing out on the opportunity to maximise on the investment that they’ve worked very hard to attain, while others are often times making more money from their properties than they are as landlords and investors.

LEGISLATION AND TAX BENEFITS

We decided that we will focus on helping landlords get the most out of their properties and increase cash flow by managing their properties on their behalf as serviced apartments, and in the process, cutting out the middleman. This puts the control back into their hands as they are now able to benefit from all the legislation that doesn't apply to using your property as a serviced apartment.
