For London Property Owners
Elite Stays partners with selected London property owners to create professionally managed serviced accommodation for short, medium and extended stays. We carefully select properties that meet our standards for location, quality and guest appeal, then lease and operate them through our company. From guest bookings and communication to cleaning, maintenance and property care, we manage the day-to-day operation for you.
Reliable rent. Professional management. A property treated as our own.
You retain ownership of your property while we take care of the operational demands of running a successful serviced accommodation business.

We believe great guest experiences start with the right property.
Before we partner with an owner, we assess each property carefully — considering its location, condition, layout, amenities and potential as serviced accommodation. We only take on properties where we believe we can create a high-quality guest experience and build a sustainable, long-term partnership with the owner.
This selective approach allows us to maintain the standards our guests expect, while giving property owners confidence that their home is being professionally managed and cared for.
The right property. The right guests. The right partnership.
Why Now
The UK rental market is changing. With the Renters' Rights Act bringing significant changes to the traditional private rental sector, many property owners are reassessing how they want to hold and operate their properties.
For some landlords, a traditional residential tenancy is no longer the only option. Elite Stays offers an alternative: a company lease for professionally managed serviced accommodation.
Rather than taking on an individual residential tenant, you lease your property to Elite Stays London Ltd, and we operate it as serviced accommodation for carefully selected short, medium and extended-stay guests. You receive an agreed rental income and a professional point of contact, while we take responsibility for the day-to-day operation, guest management and care of the property.
For owners looking for greater simplicity, professional management and an alternative to the traditional residential tenancy model, Elite Stays offers a different way to generate income from a London property.
One property. One professional partner. Less day-to-day hassle.
The Elite Stays Difference
Control
You agree the lease term, rent and other key terms with Elite Stays from the outset. When the agreed lease comes to an end, the property is returned in accordance with the terms of your contract. No managing individual tenants, chasing renewals or dealing with day-to-day occupancy.
Security
Your agreement is with Elite Stays London Ltd, giving you one professional point of contact rather than managing multiple individual guests. We take responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the accommodation and pay the agreed rent in accordance with the lease.
Condition
Your property is treated as a hospitality asset, not simply a rental. We arrange professional cleaning, regular inspections and prompt attention to maintenance throughout the lease. We take pride in keeping every property to the standard our guests expect and in handing it back in accordance with the agreed condition at the end of the lease.
Peace of Mind
From guest communication and check-ins to cleaning, minor maintenance and operational issues, our team manages the details. You have a professional point of contact and clear communication, without being called every time something needs attention.
Reliable rent. Professional care. Less day-to-day hassle.
The Options
Whether you value certainty of income or want to participate in the upside of professionally managed serviced accommodation, we offer two straightforward ways to partner with us.
Option 1
A predictable monthly income, with Elite Stays as your tenant. We lease your property directly through Elite Stays London Ltd, giving you an agreed monthly rent for the duration of the contract. You don't need to manage guests, handle bookings or worry about day-to-day operations.
Best for owners who value: predictable income, simplicity and minimal involvement.
Option 2
Keep the property. Keep the upside. Let us manage the operation. We operate your property as a professionally managed serviced accommodation business, attracting carefully selected short, medium and extended-stay guests. You retain the income potential of the property while we manage the day-to-day operation.
Best for owners who value: income potential, professional management and a more hands-off investment.
How It Works
A straightforward process designed to give you clarity from the outset and take the operational work off your hands.
Tell us about your property and we'll assess its suitability for professionally managed serviced accommodation, considering its location, condition, layout, amenities and potential guest demand. We'll give you a realistic income projection based on the market — not an inflated promise.
Once we've agreed to work together, we handle the practicalities of getting your property ready for guests — from furnishing recommendations and professional photography to listings, pricing, guest processes and operational setup. We keep you informed throughout.
Once your property is live, we manage bookings, guest communication, cleaning, check-ins and day-to-day operations. You receive your agreed rental income or monthly owner statement, depending on the partnership model, with clear and transparent reporting.
One professional partner from start to finish.
The Standard We Keep
"The place was very clean, and it was fully equipped with everything my family needed… The host was truly amazing — friendly, helpful, and quick to respond. I would definitely book again."
"Everything feels fresh, clean, and thoughtfully updated… incredibly responsive, answering all our questions promptly, always within minutes."
This is the standard your property is kept to — every stay, every guest.
Questions Landlords Ask
The Renters' Rights Act has introduced significant changes to the traditional private rental sector, so many landlords are considering alternatives to conventional residential lettings. With Elite Stays, your agreement is with Elite Stays London Ltd, rather than directly with an individual guest. We lease the property from you and operate it as professionally managed serviced accommodation. The exact legal structure and terms depend on the property and agreement, so we recommend taking independent legal advice before entering into any lease. Our aim is to give owners a straightforward commercial relationship with one professional tenant, while Elite Stays takes responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the accommodation.
Any property occupied by guests carries some level of wear and tear, but professional management makes a significant difference. We carefully select and verify guests, collect security deposits where applicable, and have appropriate insurance and property protection processes in place. Our apartments are professionally cleaned and inspected after stays, and we address maintenance issues promptly. Because our reputation depends on the condition and quality of every property we operate, we have a strong incentive to look after your property properly.
Short-term letting is subject to specific rules that can vary depending on the property, location, planning position, lease, mortgage and other restrictions. In London, there is also a general 90-night planning rule for certain forms of short-term letting. Before taking on a property, we assess the relevant requirements and will only proceed where we are satisfied that the proposed use is appropriate. We also recommend that property owners check their own lease, mortgage and insurance conditions and obtain independent professional advice where necessary.
A traditional letting agent typically introduces a tenant and may manage the tenancy on your behalf. With Elite Stays, we become your contractual partner under the agreed company lease or management arrangement. We then take responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the accommodation, including guest bookings, communication, cleaning and operational management. This means you have one professional point of contact rather than dealing directly with individual guests.
There is no charge for an initial property appraisal. We'll assess your property, its suitability for serviced accommodation and its potential income before recommending the most appropriate partnership model. If you choose to work with Elite Stays, the costs and responsibilities depend on whether you choose Guaranteed Rent or Fully Managed Short & Mid-Term Stays. We agree the commercial terms, fees and any setup requirements with you upfront, so there are no surprises.
We don't take every property. We carefully assess location, condition, layout, guest demand and the property's suitability for our operating model. If we don't believe we can operate your property successfully or to the standard we require, we'll tell you honestly. We would rather decline a property than make an unrealistic income promise or take on a property that isn't right for our guests or our business.
