Mark Fitzgerald shares essential knowledge for building a successful serviced accommodation business, covering everything from legal considerations to marketing strategies and property selection criteria.
• Serviced accommodation uses licensed agreements not ASTs, with new agreements needed every 28 days for stays over a month
• Understanding your target market (contractors, tourists, families, government workers) is crucial for success
• Short-term lets command significantly higher margins than traditional buy-to-lets
• Tax efficiencies exist when each property is treated as its own business
• Check for mortgage restrictions and leasehold conditions before starting
• Focus on creating a VIP experience with unexpected touches to generate word-of-mouth marketing
• Systemize your business from the beginning to avoid creating another job for yourself
• Consider competition and hotels as positive indicators of market demand
• Research growth potential in areas with upcoming developments or new businesses
• Prime locations with minimal refurbishment needs make ideal serviced accommodation properties
• Networking with other providers can help with overflow bookings and industry knowledge
