A single operator, based in Luton, capping at fifteen properties. I shoot the photos. I handle the guests. I look after the property. No call centres, no support tickets, no account manager swapping out every quarter, just someone local who knows your place.
Steadhold opened its books in early 2026. The first five owners to sign get 18% commission, locked in as long as they stay with us, even when the standard rate goes up. We're new and we're honest about it.
Guests messaging at 02:14 about the WiFi. The smoke alarm beeping. A check-in delayed by a missed Uber. It never stops.
Phone shots on a cloudy day. Generic copy. Static pricing that ignores Wembley concerts and bank holidays. You're underearning by hundreds.
Every empty night is income that's gone forever. Most under-managed Luton properties run 50-60% occupancy. Properly run, that's 75-85%.
I visit the property, look at the layout, check comparables, and give you a realistic monthly earnings projection in writing. If it doesn't make sense, I'll tell you. No pressure either way.
Professional photos shot on a Sony A7C. Listing written from scratch. Smart pricing configured. Smart lock fitted. Welcome guide written. Listing goes live across Airbnb and Booking.com.
Bookings come in. Guests get vetted. Cleaners get sent. Issues get solved. You get a single bank transfer on the 5th of every month, with a full breakdown report. That's it.
Sony A7C, full edit, 25-40 shots delivered. Drone if the exterior calls for it. Reshot every 12 months at no extra cost.
→Title, description, headline, amenities, neighbourhood guide. Optimised for Airbnb's ranking algorithm and the way guests actually search.
→Adjusts nightly for events at Wembley, ExCeL, Luton Hoo, plus airport demand surges, school holidays, and local supply.
→Pre-booking questions, check-in instructions, mid-stay issues, post-stay reviews. Replies in minutes, written in my voice, day or night.
→Vetted local cleaners. Inspection after every changeover. Linen, toiletries, restocking. Cost passed through with zero markup.
→Smart lock fitted (yours to keep). Code generated per booking. No keys, no lockboxes, no 11pm "I can't get in" calls.
→Boiler, leaks, smoke alarms, neighbour complaints. I either fix it, or I find someone who can, and I'm there for the visit.
→One PDF on the 5th. Bookings, occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, cleaning costs, payouts. Everything visible. Nothing hidden.
→Real client photography appears here as we onboard each property
I'm born and based in Luton. I've spent the last few years coordinating operations and hardware support for an EU-wide tech business, on top of running a photography studio and a web development consultancy on the side. Translation: I know how to ship things on time, treat clients properly, and produce listings that look good.
I started Steadhold because I kept hearing the same story from friends with flats near the airport. They'd signed up with one of the big firms expecting "professional management." What they got was a help desk in another city, a different junior every quarter, and listings full of phone-camera shots.
So this is the alternative. You sign up with Steadhold, you get me. My mobile. My eyes on your photos. My guest comms. If something goes wrong on a Tuesday at 23:00, you call me. I either fix it, or I'm there.
I'm capping at fifteen properties total. Not because I'm precious about it, but because that's the limit at which "personal" stops being marketing and starts being a lie.
First five owners to sign up. Rate locked in as long as you stay with us, even when the standard rate goes up. You're helping me build a portfolio, I'm pricing accordingly.
Performance-based. We take a cut only when your property earns. If you make nothing, we make nothing. Cleaning costs passed through at cost, never marked up.
Drop your name, number, and the postcode of the property. I'll come back within four working hours with a real earnings projection, and we'll figure out from there if it's a fit.
No pressure. No hard sell. If it doesn't work for your property, I'll tell you that too.
