Landlord Reviews

What Our Landlords Say

★★★★★

Switched from a long-let agent to Grid Stays 6 months ago. My 3-bed in CMK now earns nearly £800 more per month than before — even after their management fee. Wish I'd done it years ago.

★★★★★

The fact that they have their own maintenance team is a game changer. Every issue is sorted within 24 hours. My previous Airbnb self-management was a nightmare by comparison.

JM
Jennifer M.
Property investor, Buckingham
★★★★★

During Silverstone weekend they priced my Towcester property at £420/night. I had no idea that was possible. That one weekend alone covered 3 months of their management fee.

Common Questions

Landlord FAQ

Based on current MK market data, most properties earn 40–80% more on a short-let basis compared to a traditional long-let tenancy. A property renting at £1,200/month long-let typically generates £1,700–2,000/month on short-let after our management fee and platform costs. The exact figure depends on your property's location, size and condition — which is why we offer a free valuation.
Our full management service is 20% of gross rental income, which covers everything — listing management, guest communication, cleaning coordination, dynamic pricing, maintenance coordination and monthly reporting. There are no hidden fees. We also charge a one-off onboarding fee of £250 which covers professional photography, listing setup and smart lock installation.
Virtually nothing. We handle all guest communication, check-ins, check-outs, cleaning, maintenance issues and platform management. You'll receive a monthly income statement and can contact us any time, but the service is designed to be completely hands-off for you.
We cover a 25-mile radius from Milton Keynes, including Northampton, Bedford, Leighton Buzzard, Buckingham, Towcester, Newport Pagnell, Silverstone, Woburn, Brackley, Daventry, Olney, Wellingborough and Dunstable. If you're not sure whether your property falls within our coverage area, just get in touch and we'll confirm.
