07/05/2026
We are pleased to share that Chestertons has been named Estate Agency of the Year 2026 at the Property Week RESI Awards
Providing homeowners with flexibility and maximising their rental returns by 20-40% through a wide pool of corporate and relocating clients.
Bookings from a few weeks up to six months
Providing occupants comfort and convenience of a home
Ideal for corporate relocations, home renovations, and in-between moves
Faster turnaround between bookings, reducing vacancy periods, and supporting consistent income
Generally arranged under Non-Assured Shorthold Tenancy (NON-AST)* agreements
With the Renters’ Rights Act (RRA) becoming law in 2026, Short Lets are to operate under a different regulatory framework and be subject to fewer statutory requirements than long-term tenancies.
Avoid Long-Term Tenancy Restrictions: RRA does not impact Non-ASTs.
Keep Full Control of Availability: Clear end dates and booking periods – ideal to support during a sales marketing process.
Enhanced Rental Income: Often around 25% higher than a standard rental income.
Dynamic Seasonal Pricing: Ability to increase/decrease asking price according to market demands.
Carefully Vetted Occupants: High-quality tenants including corporate professionals, project-based executives, and international visitors.
Fully Managed Service: Complete day-to-day management for a truly hands-off experience.
Allow Viewings Throughout a Booking: Continue marketing your property without waiting for vacancies.
Properties of all sizes can perform well in the Short Lets market, from studios to family homes. Properties typically require:
Fully furnished, ready-to-live accommodation
Reliable high-speed WiFi
Fully operational appliances
A well-maintained, high-quality finish
