Serviced Accommodation for Business & Flexible Stays

Managing a short-let or serviced accommodation property in Leicester can be highly profitable, particularly due to its strong student population, healthcare workforce, and growing professional relocation demand. However, consistent income requires effective pricing strategy, guest management, and high occupancy optimisation.

At AJM Letting, we provide a fully managed serviced accommodation and Airbnb management service in Leicester, designed specifically for landlords targeting students, NHS staff, corporate relocations, and long-stay guests, alongside traditional short-term stays.

Whether you own a city-centre apartment, a buy-to-let property, or a multi-unit portfolio, we handle everything from bookings and guest communication to pricing and turnover management.

  • Leicester is a steadily growing Midlands rental and short-let hub, driven by:

    • Large student population (University of Leicester & De Montfort University)

    • Strong NHS and hospital-related accommodation demand

    • Growing corporate relocation and contractor stays

    • Affordable rental entry prices compared to nearby cities

    • Steady mid-week occupancy demand from professionals

    • Consistent domestic travel and visiting family demand

    Unlike heavily tourism-driven cities, Leicester performs best as a stable, mid-week occupancy market.

  • Leicester offers strong value-driven returns due to low acquisition costs and consistent occupancy potential.

    Typical serviced accommodation performance includes:

    • 1-bed apartments: strong demand from students and single professionals

    • 2-bed apartments: ideal for NHS staff, contractors, and relocations

    • HMOs / larger units: strong group and long-stay potential

    • City centre properties: highest occupancy and corporate demand

    We optimise pricing dynamically based on:

    • University term cycles

    • NHS contract and relocation demand

    • Weekday vs weekend booking patterns

    • Local events and city-wide demand spikes

    This ensures your property remains consistently occupied rather than relying on seasonal tourism.

  • We provide serviced accommodation and Airbnb management across key Leicester locations, including:

    • Leicester City Centre

    • Clarendon Park

    • Highfields

    • West End

    • Stoneygate

    • Oadby

    • Knighton

    • Belgrave

    • Aylestone

    • Hamilton

    Each area attracts different guest types, so we adjust pricing and listing strategy accordingly, particularly between student-heavy zones and professional relocation areas.

  • Unlike traditional letting agents, we focus on optimising short-let and serviced accommodation performance, not long-term tenancy management.

    We aim to:

    • Maximise occupancy across weekdays and weekends

    • Increase average nightly rates through smart pricing

    • Target higher-value professional and relocation guests

    • Reduce void periods between bookings

    • Maintain consistent 5-star guest experience ratings

    Our strategy is tailored specifically to Leicester’s mixed student and professional demand profile.

  • Yes, Leicester is one of the most stable entry-level serviced accommodation markets in the UK due to:

    • Low property purchase prices compared to other Midlands cities

    • Strong student housing demand

    • NHS and healthcare-related accommodation needs

    • Steady relocation and contractor demand

    • Consistent year-round occupancy patterns

    However, profitability depends heavily on:

    • Proximity to universities and hospitals

    • Targeting the correct guest type (students vs professionals)

    • Professional listing optimisation

    • Strong pricing strategy aligned to term cycles

    Well-managed properties often outperform traditional long-term rentals due to higher occupancy efficiency.

How does Airbnb Management work?

Airbnb example - Living room with teal accent wall, tan leather sofa, black and white framed art, deer head wall mounts, large green plants, black coffee table, side table, modern floor lamp, patterned rug, and large window with white curtains.

1) Free Property Valuation

Once you’ve completed the FREE Airbnb Valuation form below, we’ll review your property and carry out a brief market assessment to provide you with an estimated earning potential.

We’ll then be in touch to share how much your property could generate each month and arrange a viewing at a time that suits you.

Airbnb example - Close-up of a person in a light blue shirt writing on a stack of white papers with a black and gold pen.

2) Management Agreement

Once your property has been reviewed and we’re both happy to move forward, we’ll issue a clear and straightforward management agreement.

This outlines our terms, fees, and any pre-agreed work we’ll carry out on your behalf, ensuring complete transparency.

We keep the process flexible and collaborative, welcoming input to make sure the agreement aligns with your goals as a landlord.

Airbnb example - Digital tablet with a white stylus on a textured surface, displaying a collage of nature and home photos.

3) Onboarding

Once the agreement is signed, we begin a smooth and efficient onboarding process.

This includes collecting all essential property details, optimising your home for short-term letting, and ensuring it meets all legal and safety requirements.

Once everything is in place, we launch your listing, begin marketing, and start securing bookings.

Airbnb example - A hand holding a key above a desk with miniature house models, a calculator, a pie chart, a 200-dollar bill, and financial documents.

4) Marketing

Once onboarding is complete, we launch and actively market your property across multiple booking platforms and direct channels.

Your listing is optimised for visibility and performance on major Online Travel Agents, while also being promoted through our website, social media, email campaigns, and repeat-guest marketing.

This multi-channel approach helps drive consistent bookings, strong reviews, and maximum income.
