Airbnb Management in Truro

With hospital, relocation and contractor mid-stays. The Royal Cornwall Hospital at Treliske generates locum and clinical demand all year, and it is the most reliable way to keep a Truro calendar earning between October and April.

Well-run homes typically achieve £95–£175 a night in season, considerably less in winter, which is why we manage the year as two different markets rather than one flat rate.

Well-run homes in Truro typically achieve £95–£180 a night, but your real return depends on bedrooms, parking, location and how tightly the calendar is priced. AV Property gives Truro owners a free income assessment within 48 hours, based on comparable Cornwall properties rather than a national average.

Our management fee is 12% + VAT of booking revenue, plus a one-off onboarding fee based on the size of the property. That covers listing creation and photography, dynamic nightly pricing, multi-platform distribution, guest vetting and messaging, housekeeping and linen, maintenance coordination and compliance tracking. There are no separate fees per booking.

We manage properties across Truro City Centre, Highertown, Malpas, Threemilestone, Falmouth and St Agnes and the wider Cornwall area, covering the TR1, TR3 and TR4 postcodes. Because cleaners and maintenance cover are local to the property, we can turn a home around same-day between guests.

Truro is Cornwall's administrative and retail capital, so it has a working economy alongside tourism: the Royal Cornwall Hospital, county council and professional employers, plus visitors using Truro as a base for the north and south coasts, the Eden Project and the Roseland. The strongest demand drivers here are Cornwall holiday tourism, Hospital & NHS placements, Corporate & public sector and Surf coast trips, with Truro Cathedral, Royal Cornwall Museum and Eden Project pulling in leisure bookings.

There is no short-let licence in Cornwall, but second homes and holiday lets are a politically live issue locally, Article 4 directions have been used to control new holiday-let use in parts of the county, and the national short-let registration scheme is coming. We check the planning position before listing. We check your property's position before it goes live and will tell you honestly if short-letting is not the right route for it.

Sharply seasonal on leisure: June to September and school holidays are the peak, with strong shoulder months in May and October. Winter demand is almost entirely hospital, relocation and contractor mid-stays, which we plan for from September.

Most homes are earning within two to three weeks. That covers the walkthrough, professional photography, safety certificates where they are missing, furnishing advice if needed, and listing across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO and our direct channels on one synced calendar.

We also offer guaranteed rent in Truro: we become your sole corporate tenant for 1–5 years, paying a fixed monthly rent that's at least 5% above the local long-let market. There are no void periods, no management fees and no tenant or deposit headaches for you — you simply receive your agreed rent on the same day each month.

Everything. Listing creation and professional photography, dynamic pricing, multi-platform marketing on Airbnb / Booking.com / Vrbo and 13+ other channels, 24/7 guest communication, strict guest vetting, hotel-standard cleaning and linen, restocking, maintenance coordination, inspections, compliance, insurance, accounting and a single transparent monthly statement.

Most of our owners earn 30–60% more than they would on a standard long-let, after our management fee. Actual earnings depend on the city, postcode, property size, finish and seasonality. We provide a free, no-obligation valuation with realistic monthly income projections within 48 hours.

Our pricing is fully transparent and detailed on our Fees page (/fees), including the management fee, the separate one-off onboarding fee, what's included and what isn't.

Typically within 7–14 days of signing. We handle photography, listing copy, smart-lock setup, compliance checks, pricing strategy and onboarding to every platform.

Yes — properties need to be furnished to a guest-ready standard. If yours isn't, we can either advise you on what's needed or arrange a turnkey furnishing package via our trusted partners.

We do, completely. You will not need to speak to a guest, manage a cleaner, or coordinate a tradesperson. Our local team handles every operational detail and reports back to you monthly.

We collect all booking revenue from every platform, reconcile it, and pay you the net amount via bank transfer with a clean PDF statement showing every booking, every cost and every payout.

In most well-located UK markets, yes — significantly. Short-lets typically generate 20–60% more gross income, you avoid problem-tenant risk, you can use the property yourself when you want, and the property is professionally cleaned weekly.

Absolutely. You can block out personal dates in the calendar at any time. We just ask for reasonable notice so we can manage existing bookings.

We make sure your property meets every short-let-specific requirement: short-let insurance, annual gas safety, EICR (electrical), EPC, fire risk assessment, smoke and CO alarms. Local council short-let registration is included where applicable.
