The PropTech startup, GuestReady Group marked its third anniversary in August 2019. It operates in 14 cities across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

GuestReady uses in-house developed software to allow homeowners and property investors tap into the Airbnb trend, by providing a full package of short-let management and hospitality services.

Alexander Limpert, ceo and co-founder, said: “It was my first-hand experience of being an Airbnb host that inspired me to set-up a service that would simplify hosting to time stretched hosts.

“I started to look at how software can reduce spending time listing a property on multiple booking sites, managing check-ins and check-outs of guests, cleaning and maintaining a property, while upholding a five-star quality service for our hosts and guests.

“In the beginning, it was just me and my girlfriend running and setting-up operations for GuestReady London. We put up all the listings, cleaned apartments, prepared the beds for guests, dealt with property maintenance, responded to guests queries and welcomed them at the property as they arrived.”

Senior hosts are using short-term lettings as an extra source of income to complement their pension, pay bills and for travel.

Short-term lettings have become a popular way to fill time between tenants. Research shows the average time to fill an empty property has increased in most regions of the UK.

GuestReady UK Managing Director, Steffan Maagefelt, said: “It’s essential for landlords to maximise the income from their properties to keep yields healthy. Short-term lettings are helping property owners maintain a steady income while they wait for new longer-term tenants to move in.”
