Case Study 01 Block Repositioning
Chinatown · Manchester M1

Six apartments in a Chinatown block, transformed into the strongest cashflow asset in a Manchester portfolio.

THE SITUATION. A fourteen-unit Chinatown block that had been through multiple rent-to-rent operators who kept failing. Fragmented occupancy across the units the landlord wanted actively managed, unreliable performance, no coordinated commercial strategy the landlord could plan against.

THE APPROACH. Beyond Stays now operates six apartments in the block as a single coordinated multi-unit operation. Repositioned as short-let and corporate housing across Airbnb, Booking.com and direct corporate. Dynamic pricing configured via PriceLabs. Guest communications via Enso Connect with sub-10-minute response times, 24/7. One operator, one commercial strategy, one point of contact for the landlord.

THE RESULT. £25k monthly gross across the six apartments. Q1 occupancy at 92% against a UK short-let market average of 65%. Guest rating of 4.9 stars. Investor-grade reporting the landlord uses for portfolio decisions rather than lettings updates.

Beyond Stays took a block that was underperforming and turned it into the strongest cashflow asset in my portfolio. Reporting is investor-grade rather than agent-grade.

Case Study 02 Transformation
St John's · Manchester

A tired mid-terrace, rebuilt as premium short-let stock.

THE SITUATION. A tired multi-bedroom mid-terrace inherited in raw condition. Empty rooms, dated fittings, worn floors, and no styling. Compliance out of date. Zero visible pathway to premium short-let pricing without a proper refit.

THE APPROACH. A full refit programme delivered in a compressed timeline. Interior styling with confident accent walls, refitted kitchen, retiled bathroom, and professional linen and furnishings across every bedroom. Compliance brought fully up to date. Listing set up across Airbnb, Booking.com, and corporate housing channels. Pricing tuned to the Manchester submarket.

THE RESULT. The property now operates as short-let stock with a distinct visual identity that pulls its own repeat bookings. From vacant raw stock to premium short-let asset, live and earning, without the operational load ever landing on the owner.
