Determining your weekly rate:
-
Your weekly Long Stay rate depends on how urgently you need the property occupied and the current demand for Long Stays in your area
-
Short Stays provides a FREE Long Stay rate analysis for our Long Stay hosts. We assess rental demand in your area and compare it with national rental data to suggest a base weekly rate that matches similar properties nearby
-
In addition to this base rate, consider the weekly expenses for electricity/gas, water, Wi-Fi, and Pay TV at your property
-
To calculate your rate, add an extra 5-30%, again this % will be guided by your urgency to fill the property, the time of year (e.g., school holidays, Christmas), and the desired length of stay
