Thinking About Turning
Your Property Into
an Airbnb?

There are two parts. First, a £500 onboarding fee which covers your professional photoshoot, listing setup, interior guidance, and property audit. Second, a £500 contribution from your first bookings once the property is live. After that, our ongoing management fee is 15% of monthly revenue - and we don't charge that until your property has generated £2,000 in bookings. We only earn when you earn.

After onboarding, we don't invoice management fees until your property has collected £2,000 in total booking revenue. For most properties that's 3-4 weeks of trading. It means we're fully aligned - we only start taking our percentage once you're already making money.

Some buy-to-let mortgages restrict short-term letting, so it's worth checking with your lender before getting started. Many lenders are fine with it, and some specialist BTL products explicitly allow it. During your free income review call, we'll walk you through what to check and what to ask your lender - it's a straightforward conversation in most cases.

This is one of the most important things to check for city centre apartments. Some leases - particularly in L1 and L2 - contain clauses that restrict short-term subletting. We always advise reviewing your lease before onboarding. If you're unsure, bring it to your income review call and we can help you identify the relevant clauses. We won't onboard a property that isn't fully compliant.

Our landlords typically earn £500-£1,100 more per month than they were getting from long-term rentals. Real examples from GuestLaunch hosts: a 2-bed L1 apartment went from £575/month to £1,281/month. A 3-bed L6 house went from £255/month to £884/month. Use the calculator above to see your personalised estimate.

No. We handle everything: guest communication (24/7), check-ins and check-outs, hotel-grade cleaning after every stay, maintenance coordination, dynamic pricing, and monthly reporting. You receive your payout report and bank transfer. That's it.

All bookings are covered by Airbnb's AirCover for Hosts, which provides up to $1,000,000 in host damage protection. We also conduct a full property inspection after every single stay and photograph any issues immediately. We screen all guests before accepting bookings - this dramatically reduces risk in the first place.

We use PriceLabs, a professional dynamic pricing platform, which adjusts your rates daily based on live demand, local events (concerts, football matches, conferences), seasonality, and competitor rates. This ensures you're never underselling or losing bookings through overpricing.

Yes, absolutely. Just let us know your dates in advance and we'll block them off in the calendar. There are no restrictions on owner access - it's still your property. We simply ask for reasonable notice so we can manage booking commitments around your plans.

Airbnb pays out directly to you, usually within 24 hours of each guest checking in. We then send you a full monthly payout report on the 7th of each month showing all bookings, revenue, and our management fee deduction. Complete transparency every month.

We're a small, focused team by design - which means we move fast without the delays you get from large nationwide companies. Once we've done your photoshoot and walkthrough, your listing is typically live within 1-2 days. No waiting in a queue, no handoffs between departments.

Yes. We review your existing listing, identify improvements (photos, copy, pricing, amenities), and take over operations. Most hosts with existing listings see an immediate increase in both bookings and revenue within the first 30 days under GuestLaunch management.

We cover all Liverpool postcodes (L1-L25). Our strongest markets are the city centre (L1-L2), the Baltic Triangle, waterfront areas, and the university district. If you're unsure whether your area is suitable, get in touch for a free income assessment - we'll be honest with you.

Yes - short-term letting is legal in Liverpool. You may need to check the terms of your mortgage or lease for restrictions, and if you let for more than 90 days per year you may need to apply for a change of use (though this applies to very few properties). We'll guide you through any compliance requirements during onboarding.
