What is a short let?
A short let is a fully furnished property rented for a fixed period, providing flexible accommodation for professionals relocating, corporate tenants, people renovating their homes and those requiring temporary accommodation.
Short lets are usually:
- Available for periods ranging from a few weeks to a few months
- Fully furnished and ready for occupation
- Paid for in advance
- Inclusive of utility bills and household costs
Who chooses a short let?
Short lets provide flexible accommodation for a wide range of occupiers, making them an attractive option for landlords looking to maximise demand for their property.
Typical short let occupiers include:
- Professionals relocating for work
- Corporate tenants on temporary assignments
- Homeowners undertaking renovations
- Individuals between property moves
- International visitors requiring extended stays
- Families needing temporary accommodation
- People exploring a new area before committing longer term
- Insurance and relocation clients seeking short-term housing
Benefits of a short let
Short letting can offer a range of benefits for landlords who require greater flexibility while still generating income from their property.
Demand for quality short-term accommodation can often achieve higher rental rates than traditional long-term tenancies.
A short let can provide an ideal solution if you're planning to return to your property, considering a future sale or simply want greater flexibility over how your property is occupied.
Depending on your circumstances, your property may be marketed for both long let and short let opportunities simultaneously, helping you reach a wider pool of potential occupiers while maintaining flexibility.
Advance rental payments are common within the short let market, providing reassurance and helping to reduce financial risk.
