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
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
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.
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.
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.
Any profit that you make from your SA is considered as ‘relevant earnings’ which means you can make tax-advantaged pension contributions.
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.
Typically, the same property will generate 2/3x more profit for the landlord or investor, opening many more options for them.
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.

2025 is shaping up to be a tipping point for UK landlords fed up with the squeeze of buy-to-let. Between economic shifts, rental market shake-ups, and emerging investor trends, more and more property owners are rethinking the old letting model. Serviced accommodation—think Airbnb, booking.com, and similar platforms—is no longer just for savvy side-hustlers and holiday lets. It's fast becoming the main game for anyone after flexible, hands-off, and higher-yielding property income.
At Statera Estates, we specialise in helping property owners make this transition seamless—taking the stress out of short-term lets with end-to-end management. Here’s why 2025 is the year to say goodbye to traditional tenancies and hello to serviced accommodation.
Rents in the UK have seen a 9.2% jump year-on-year—a silver lining for some landlords, but a double-edged sword for many stuck with rising mortgage costs and relentless legislation. The real kicker? All those gains are fast evaporating due to interest rate volatility and tax reform. With buy-to-let mortgage lending predicted to drop by 7% this year, and one in five landlords planning to exit or shrink their portfolios, the “traditional” approach looks less appealing by the month.
London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol—UK cities are bouncing back. The economy is forecasted to stabilise throughout 2025, with real incomes rising and the Bank of England base rate expected to drop close to 4%. That means more people are on the move again, whether it’s for work trips, events, or city breaks. In other words: your property could be busy year-round as a short-term rental, rather than sitting in limbo between fixed tenancies.
Think about it: with serviced accommodation, you set nightly rates instead of flat monthly rents. Seasonal demand, local events, and market trends all work in your favour—if you’re agile. Where buy-to-let might yield 5–7% per annum, well-managed serviced accommodation can regularly hit double digits.
Hate not being able to use your own property? Serviced accommodation means you can reserve weeks for yourself, friends, or family without upsetting a long-term tenant. It also helps you ride out market changes—you’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all contract, and can trial different strategies with our support.
Switching to short-term lets shouldn’t mean trading landlord headaches for new ones. That’s where managed serviced accommodation comes in. We handle everything—from styling, marketing, and guest screening to cleaning, maintenance, and maximising your nightly pricing. Our service helps you move on from old-school letting agents and get more freedom from your portfolio.
End-to-End Onboarding: From compliance checks to interior design tweaks, we get your property guest-ready fast.
Smart Pricing & Full Listings Management: We market your property across all top booking platforms and use dynamic pricing algorithms to maximise your income.
Five-Star Guest Experience: Professional cleaning, prompt communication, and 24/7 support delivers glowing reviews (and repeat bookings).
Real-Time Analytics: See exactly how your property’s performing, with transparent monthly breakdowns and advice on getting even more from your asset.
Maintenance & Compliance: Forget chasing after repairs or paperwork—we handle it down to the smallest detail.
We’ve walked dozens of landlords through the switch in the last year alone. Here’s what we’re hearing:
Many new clients are surprised just how much higher their net income is in serviced accommodation compared to the old model. Even after our management fees, properties in busy city centres can generate up to 50% more annual income than long-term tenancies.
With Statera Estates taking care of listings, cleaning, and all the admin, even hands-off investors find the short-term let route easier than juggling tenant requests, void periods, or extended arrears.
As local rental laws tighten and tax breaks for landlords dry up, having us act as your compliance safety net gives peace of mind that you’re always on the right side of the rules.
It’s true: financing for serviced accommodation is different from traditional buy-to-let. Lenders increasingly see these properties as trading businesses. That means:
You’ll need a strong business case (we help with that).
Some track record of reliable short-term lets is useful (we can support you to build it).
Many lenders now factor in what the property could bring in as a regular rental, so smart property selection and accurate projections are crucial.
The upside? Specialist serviced accommodation mortgages and new products are emerging all the time, reflecting demand for this model. More options mean a better fit for your investment strategy.
With economic recovery, a cooling buy-to-let sector, and Britain’s love affair with flexible stays, 2025 is the moment to rethink your old letting routine. Just as crucial, switching now with the help of a professional management company means you’re perfectly placed to catch the next wave of guest demand as it rises.
Our tip: Act before supply floods the market. Getting your property set up this year with strong occupancy and reviews under your belt means a major head start over hesitant landlords who wait.
At Statera Estates, we’re on a mission to help landlords unlock more income and less stress with fully managed serviced accommodation. We take care of everything—the marketing, guest turnover, cleaning, compliance, and guest support—so you collect the returns without the DIY headaches.

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
