Brighton Airbnb Management
Welcome to Brighton Air.
We believe that Airbnb hosts should be the ones to profit from your properties, not the property or channel managers. This is why we offer low management fees.
Our fees are only one-third of the cost of other property management companies, meaning you keep your profits, not those managing the property for you.

Low Transparent Management Fee
While many other Airbnb management companies in Brighton may charge you exorbitant fees ranging from 15% to 24% plus VAT for their services, our approach is different. At Brighton Airbnb Management, we firmly believe that you should reap the rewards of your property's success.
That's why we are committed to keeping our fees as low as possible. Our transparent fee structure includes a management fee starting at a lower price point than any other Airbnb management company in Brighton, and the best part is, there's no VAT on top of it. We want you to enjoy the maximum return on your investment in Brighton Airbnb, and our affordable rates reflect this commitment.
Lower Platform Fees
04
Lower Platform Fees
Airbnb Fees only 3%, not 18%
Many property owners are often unaware that they're subjected to additional Airbnb fees, typically around 15% plus VAT, even before they receive their gross income from their managing agent. The lack of transparency in this process often leaves property owners surprised by these hidden costs, as neither Airbnb nor managing agents include this expense on their statement of earnings.
What's even more concerning is that this cost is applied before any additional deductions for cleaning and other management fees are made.
At Brighton Air, we are committed to ensuring transparency and prioritizing your earnings. We believe in keeping things simple and straightforward. That's why we proudly maintain our Airbnb fees at a flat rate of 3%. This approach allows you to enjoy higher gross payouts from Airbnb, ultimately maximizing your financial returns from your Brighton Airbnb property.

Ranking
Search Engine Optimisation
We keep your property ranking higher on Airbnb
Comprehending the intricate workings of the Airbnb algorithm is of paramount importance, especially when it comes to managing your Brighton Airbnb property. This deep understanding serves as our guiding light, allowing us to elevate your property's standing in search results.
This invaluable knowledge becomes our tool to empower you even further. It enables us to meticulously fine-tune and optimize your property's visibility within the Airbnb platform. By staying ahead of algorithm changes and trends, we ensure that your listing consistently stands out and garners attention from a larger pool of potential guests.
Our commitment to mastering the Airbnb algorithm means that your property is not just another listing but a standout destination in Brighton. With this strategic advantage, we drive increased bookings, higher occupancy rates, and ultimately, enhanced financial returns for your property.
Communication
06
Personalised Messaging
5* Communication
While many property management companies may resort to automated messages as a means of communicating with your guests, this often results in a noticeable lack of personalization in guest interactions. Your guests may feel like they're just another booking reference in a system.
At Brighton Airbnb Management, we take a vastly different approach. We place a premium on the cultivation of authentic relationships with your guests. We firmly believe that genuine hospitality begins with personalization. That's why we go the extra mile by addressing guest inquiries directly and providing a highly personalised service tailored to their individual needs and preferences.
Our commitment is not just about managing properties; it's about fostering a welcoming and attentive experience for every guest who chooses to stay at your Brighton Airbnb property. We believe that in creating memorable guest experiences, we contribute to the overall success of your property. It's this personalised touch that sets us apart in the vibrant Brighton Airbnb market.

Flexible Management
Property Management Your Way
At Brighton Airbnb Management, we prioritize your preferences, ensuring our services align with your unique goals, all while maximizing your property's potential. We pride ourselves on providing flexible solutions tailored to your needs as a property owner.
Unlike other management agencies, we don't lock you into long-term contracts; you have the freedom to choose how long you work with us, adjusting as your needs evolve.
You also have the flexibility to select your preferred cleaning and maintenance teams, whether it's our dedicated in-house experts or your trusted professionals.
We put you in control of your property management strategy, offering two options: keep Airbnb fees low by managing directly on the platform in your name, ensuring full autonomy and cost savings, or opt for listing on multiple platforms through a channel manager (though be aware that this choice will result in higher Airbnb charges).
Holiday or Short Term Let

Letting Periods that make sense
Property Strategies to suit you
At Brighton Air, we understand that property ownership is not one-size-fits-all. That's why we provide a range of property management solutions to suit your unique needs.
Holiday Let Management: During the vibrant summer months, owning a holiday let in Brighton can be highly profitable. We specialise in managing short-term holiday lets, ensuring your property attracts guests and generates maximum income during peak seasons. Our expertise in the Brighton Airbnb market positions your property for success.
Longer-Term Short Lets: However, we recognize that the dynamics of property ownership can change throughout the year. In the quieter winter months, we offer the option to secure tenants for 3 to 6 months, ensuring a steady income stream for landlords. This flexibility is designed to optimize your property's financial performance year-round.
Full Assured Shorthold Tenancies: For property owners seeking a more traditional approach, we are also equipped through our sister company, Brighton Living to manage properties on full assured shorthold tenancies. Whether you prefer the stability of longer-term rentals or a seamless transition from short-term to long-term, our services can be tailored to your requirements.
Our commitment is to adapt to your needs, providing comprehensive property management solutions that align with your goals and deliver financial success. At Brighton Air, we don't just manage properties; we provide the versatility you need to thrive in the dynamic Brighton property market.

Compare Our Fees
Compare our Fees
Total Fees less than one-third of other Property Management Companies.
-
When hosts initially partner with a Property Management Company or Channel Manager, they often remain unaware of an important detail: Airbnb, due to the use of an API (software connection), automatically imposes the 'Host-Only' fee under their 'Simplified Pricing' model.
-
This means that in addition to the fee for the Property Manager, which is typically around 18% + VAT, hosts must also pay an additional 15% + VAT to Airbnb. This cumulative total can lead to hosts incurring approximately 40% in fees. What's even more concerning is that these fees are charged on gross income and are deducted from the gross revenue, which hosts never see. This effectively eats into host profits, and some management companies even tack on a monthly fee on top of these expenses.
-
Fortunately, we offer a solution. We charge a fee from only 13% for property management, which is significantly lower than the industry average. Moreover, we keep your Airbnb fees at an affordable 3% + VAT, which amounts to just 3.6%. Our aim is to help you maximize your earnings while minimizing unnecessary expenses.
