The two numbers that decide it

Your nightly rate and occupancy are guesses. We've got the real ones.

PropertyPredator pulls real Airbnb nightly rates and occupancy for your postcode and bedroom count — so your SA appraisal runs on actual market data, not a hopeful guess. See whether the deal truly clears its break-even before you sign a rent-to-SA contract.

Serviced accommodation — questions

What's break-even occupancy?

The occupancy % at which the SA exactly covers its costs — below it you lose money, above it you profit. It's the single most important number in an SA deal: if break-even is 70% and the area only does 60%, walk away.

Does this work for rent-to-SA (rent-to-rent)?

Yes — put your rent to the landlord in the "rent or mortgage" box. If you own it, put your mortgage payment there instead. Everything else is the same.

Why does the nightly rate matter so much?

Revenue is nightly rate × occupancy × ~30 nights. A £10 swing in nightly rate, or 10% occupancy, completely changes the profit — which is why guessing them is dangerous. Use real local data.
