Rent it or buy it to let short-term?On a rented unit, the typical building breaks even at 55% occupancy, against the 70% assumed

Medians across the 1 building where the nightly let beats the lease. Self-managed, net of platform fees, cleaning and utilities.

Break-even occupancy, against the 70% assumed: 55%
Short-let revenue vs the lease: 1.3×

Rent a unit, let it short-term

Start with annual short-term revenue after modelled operating costs, then subtract the annual lease. Compare break-even occupancy with your own occupancy scenario and replace the registered rent benchmark with your actual contract.

Buy to short-term let

Compare modelled operating revenue with the supported purchase benchmark. Add acquisition, furnishing, service charges and financing costs before assessing your own return. A missing net yield means insufficient sales evidence; rental economics can still be shown.

The assumptions behind these figures

These scenarios assume 70% occupancy and self-management. Surplus excludes furnishing, deposits, permits, owner service charges and finance. Sampled asks are not achieved bookings; building-level rental benchmarks may pool project contracts.
