Now open in Newcastle
The popularity of short-term rental properties around the world is at an all time high
Gone are the days of old-fashioned Bed and Breakfasts where the floors creek and squeak as you walk around and haven’t had an update in 50 years.
Travellers now have many options. Yes you can stay in your traditional Hotel but many people love the privacy and experience of living “like a local”, which is why companies like Air BnB and VRBO are so popular.
With over twenty years combined experience in the Real Estate and Hospitality industries Westall & Thomas help property owners realize more profit from their rental properties through intelligent marketing, high definition photography and an international audience.
Through strategic research and our proprietary systems we identify properties that can guarantee owners a minimum of 10% more rental income than what the local rental market would demand. We achieve this by marketing the property to short-term tenants who are visiting an area only for a few days at a time.
Benefits To Property Owners
Rather than have a regular tenant in your property. Here are 3 reasons why you should consider using your property for short-term rentals:
- Short-term tenants typically stay anywhere from 1-7 days. Because most of them are only in your area for a short period of time, they generally eat out and only use the property for sleeping and washing in. This means the property doesn’t have as much wear on it as it would from a regular tenant cooking and cleaning regularly.
- You can select who you rent your property to from their rental history on the platform.
- No worrying about having to evict a tenant for not paying as everything is paid up front using credit cards prior to arrival.
Some of our clients have said “can’t I just do this myself?” and the answer is YES. However most people don’t have the time or motivation to do it. Here’s why you should consider partnering with us!
- We guarantee your rental income and pay you more than the traditional local rental market can demand
- We will sign a lease with you for 12 months or month to month. It’s whatever you’re comfortable with so you have nothing to lose
- All minor maintenance covered. No getting called out at 3am to fix a blocked toilet or because the key won’t open the door. We partner with local licensed contractors so you can sleep easy at night
- Regular professional cleaning
- Pet free and smoke free guests
- Automatic rental payments
- No meeting tenants at random times to exchange keys. We handle all of the logistics
- We support local businesses. Just like when you visit a hotel and get the complimentary toiletries. We leave the same for our clients in your property – but instead of it being a big corporate brand, we give them a sample of what the locals made. This has included soaps, sweets, biscuits, toothpaste and more, giving them a local experience as well as supporting local businesses.
- We give back! We support local charities. In each of the markets we operate in we have selected local charities. We give you the option of selecting a charity in which we will donate a percentage of our profits towards each month
- We have an Absolute No Pressure Policy. We pride ourselves on being honest, trustworthy and transparent. We are great at what we do and don’t need to use any high-pressure sales when working with us. We’ll give you all of the facts and figures and if you don’t think it works for you we’ll say thank you and wish you the best
