YOURSTAYS MANAGEMENT LTD

What YOURSTAYS MANAGEMENT LTD does

YourStays Management Ltd is a privately held, bootstrapped UK short-stay accommodation operator founded in July 2019 by Medical Doctor Richard Screen and Property Developer Dan Cheetham. Headquartered in Crewe, Cheshire (Company Number 12131962), the company operates a dual-sided model targeting guests seeking serviced accommodation and landlords seeking fully managed short-let property services in the Staffordshire and Cheshire region. On the guest side, it offers furnished, self-catering properties with hotel-grade bedding, WiFi, self-check-in, professional cleaning, and 24-hour support, bookable directly via its website, phone, and email or through six major online travel agents. On the landlord side, it delivers an end-to-end managed service covering property staging, photography, multi-platform listing, guest screening, check-in/check-out, cleaning, linen, maintenance, and bookkeeping.

The company does not operate proprietary guest-facing or property management technology; it relies on its website booking interface, third-party OTA channels, and the Truvi verification partner for guest identity and payment security. Revenue is generated through three streams: management fees deducted from landlord rental income, nightly rental revenue from direct and OTA bookings, and platform commissions on OTA-sourced stays. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with direct bookings positioned as offering the best rates and extended stays qualifying for up to 25% discounts versus OTA prices; additional services such as early check-in/late check-out (£25) and baby cots (£25) are add-ons.

Go-to-market combines multi-channel guest acquisition (direct website, OTA listings, social media on Facebook, Instagram, and TripAdvisor) with a consultative landlord acquisition motion anchored by discovery calls, property appraisals, profit calculators, and referrals. The customer base spans corporate clients, contractors, relocating individuals and families, leisure guests, and individual property owners, with the largest addressable segment being corporate/contractor and relocation stays. The business holds STAA full indemnified membership and ICO registration (ZB340769), operates with 1-10 employees, and is founder-owned with no disclosed external capital.

1. Property Management Fees: YourStays charges landlords for fully managed short-stay property services, including listing, guest management, cleaning, maintenance, and bookkeeping. Revenue is generated from management fees deducted from rental income.
2. Nightly Rental Revenue: The company earns income by renting furnished serviced properties to short-stay guests (corporate, contractors, relocation, leisure). Revenue is driven by nightly rates with discounts for weekly and monthly stays.
3. Platform Commissions: Properties are listed across multiple online travel agent platforms (Airbnb, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Expedia, VrBo, Agoda). The company earns revenue through these channels, likely with commission arrangements.

Expansion highlights2 records

Broad incumbents

• Vacasa: US-headquartered vacation rental management company with expanding UK operations (acquired Wyndham Vacation Rentals UK). Comparable full-service STR management proposition but operates globally at vastly larger scale than YourStays.
• Cottages.com: Large UK holiday cottage booking platform with a national portfolio of vacation rentals. Comparable in guest-facing short-stay distribution, but operates as an OTA/agency rather than offering full hands-off property management; broader, more diversified incumbent.
• Sykes Cottages: Established UK holiday lettings agency operating a large nationwide portfolio of self-catering vacation rentals. Comparable to YourStays in serving short-stay guests but operates as a marketing/distribution intermediary rather than full-service operations manager; broader scale and incumbent position.

Others

• Airbnb (Host Tools): Global short-stay marketplace that YourStays uses as a primary distribution channel and also competes with for hosts (Airbnb offers host tools and AirCover). Comparable as a distribution/booking layer, but acts as enabling infrastructure rather than a direct management competitor.
• Booking.com: Major OTA where YourStays distributes its serviced accommodation listings. Functions as enabling distribution infrastructure for YourStays rather than a direct management competitor; relevant for benchmarking commission structures and guest acquisition cost.
• Vrbo (HomeAway): Vacation rental OTA where YourStays lists properties for distribution. Comparable distribution layer for short-stay bookings; relevant as channel partner and competitive benchmark but not a direct service provider.

Direct peers

• Houst: UK-founded (formerly Airsorted) short-let management company operating across the UK, Europe, and Australia. Offers full-service Airbnb and OTA management, dynamic pricing, and direct booking infrastructure — directly comparable full-service model to YourStays, at much larger scale.
• GuestReady: UK and European short-term rental management company offering end-to-end services including listing optimization, guest communication, cleaning, and pricing management for landlords. Closely comparable to YourStays in full-service STR management value proposition and B2B landlord GTM.
• Pass the Keys: UK full-service short-let management company handling Airbnb/Booking.com listings, guest comms, cleaning, and maintenance on behalf of landlords across multiple UK cities. Directly comparable operating model and dual-sided landlord/guest proposition to YourStays, though at significantly larger national scale.
• Hostmaker: London-based short-stay property management company providing full-service operations (cleaning, listing, guest management) for landlords on Airbnb and OTAs. Directly comparable regional UK full-service STR management operator.
