Two-ledger accounting
Your money sits in a client account, held apart from ours, and every figure is reconciled against a real booking before anything moves. What is yours stays yours from the moment a guest pays.
For owners
You can always see where your money goes.
Most owners come to us tired of statements that never quite add up. We hold your money apart from ours, reconcile every line to what the platforms paid, and show you the lot in a portal that is open whenever you want to look.

The money story
We compete on what lands in your account.
One simple 20% fee, taken after the channel fee and net of cleaning, never on the gross. A lower headline rate elsewhere often adds back monthly software fees, pricing-tool charges and pass-through mark-ups, so it can cost more and cover less. The fee is one line. The number that matters is the net.

The honest answers
What if...?
The questions owners actually ask before they hand over the keys, answered plainly. Open any one for the full answer.
+What if a guest damages my home?
Every guest is ID and booking checked before they book, with house rules and sensible occupancy limits set up front and smart-home noise alerts behind it all. If something is broken we document it, handle the claim and chase the cost, and you see every step. Damage protection sits behind the whole thing.
+What if it sits empty?
We price nightly to demand and fill the soft mid-week, not just the obvious peaks. And we will tell you at the first visit if your home would not earn enough to make a short let worthwhile. We would rather say so than sign you up to something that does not suit you.
+What if I want to use it myself?
It is your home. Block any dates you want in the calendar and we plan around them. A manager looks after your property for you; they do not own it, your guests or your bookings.
+What if I want to leave?
A 90-day pilot, then a rolling 30-day notice. No lock-in and no exit penalties. We finish any booked stays and hand the listing, the calendar and the reviews back to you cleanly. You stay because the job is done well, not because you are tied in.
The transparency promise
Built by people from cybersecurity, so the whole thing runs on evidence.
We started in security, not property. So Stay Managed is designed around process, evidence and accountability: nothing is taken on trust, by us or by you.
A statement that reconciles
One clear statement each month that ties out, line by line, to what Airbnb, Booking.com and the rest actually paid. Hand it straight to your accountant.
No mark-ups on pass-throughs
Cleaning, linen and trades land at exactly what they cost, with the receipts to prove it. We make our money on the management fee alone.
The 90-day pilot
Try us for 90 days. If we are not right for you, walk away cleanly.
We start with a 90-day pilot against clear success criteria, with weekly leading indicators so you can see how it is going from the first fortnight. After that it is a rolling 30-day notice.
90 days
A pilot, not a contract. Clear success criteria agreed up front, with weekly leading indicators so nothing is a surprise.
30 days
Rolling notice after that. A short, plain notice period. No minimum term hiding in the small print.
£0
No exit penalties. No exit fees and no trailing commission on bookings we made. If you leave, you leave clean.
Clean
A clean handover. We see any booked stays through to checkout and hand the listing, calendar and reviews back to you.
