Owner visibility
Who it’s for
Is Zanora right for you?
Underperforming property
Your long-let or vacant property could be working harder.
Existing host
You’re already short-letting but want less operational work.
More flexibility
You want an alternative to conventional long-term letting.
Hands-off ownership
You want dependable oversight while you’re away or focused elsewhere.
Before management begins: suitability and permissions
Short-letting is not suitable or permitted for every property. Service availability, responsibilities, charges and notice terms are agreed for each property before management starts.
Estimates are not guaranteed income. Gross booking revenue is not net owner income: management, platform, cleaning, maintenance and other applicable costs must be considered, alongside seasonality, availability and lawful operating days.
London’s 90-night annual short-letting planning restriction and its conditions may apply; longer use requires appropriate permission. Scottish short-term-let licensing and planning rules, and local rules elsewhere, must also be checked.
Lease, freeholder, mortgage, insurance and safety requirements need property-specific review. Existing occupiers’ rights must be respected; an occupied tenancy cannot simply be converted into a holiday let.

LONG LET VS SHORT LET
Long-term letting has changed. Your income model can too.
Since 1 May 2026, most private assured tenancies in England operate on a rolling periodic basis under the Renters’ Rights Act 2025. For suitable properties, professionally managed short lets offer a different operating model — and can provide materially higher gross revenue potential.

Illustrative market comparison, not a property forecast. Gross short-let revenue does not equal owner profit. Platform fees, Zanora's management fee, utilities, cleaning, insurance, maintenance and other operating costs must be considered. Actual performance varies by location, specification, season and demand.
Before you decide
Common questions.
Estimates use property-specific assumptions, not a universal occupancy percentage. Gross booking revenue and net owner income must be distinguished, accounting for management, platform, cleaning, maintenance and other costs, availability, seasonality and lawful operating days. Income is not guaranteed.
Cleaning, linen, maintenance and other costs can affect your net income. The proposal and management agreement explain which charges apply, who pays them, any deductions, and the approval arrangements. These costs should not be assumed to be included in a management fee.
We set out the fee basis, applicable taxes, any setup or additional charges and how deductions work in a written proposal before you agree to management. A free enquiry does not commit you to a paid service.
Notice, termination and the treatment of existing bookings are set out in the management agreement. Review those terms before committing; an enquiry does not start an agreement.
Pricing and minimum-stay arrangements can be reviewed in response to quieter demand. Costs and net owner income matter as well as occupancy. There are no fixed income or occupancy guarantees.
Yes. Tell us your property’s location so we can assess service availability and the relevant local requirements. An enquiry is not confirmation that a location or property can be managed.
