Done-for-you holiday let management for Windsor landlords

Windsor is one of the steadiest short-let markets in the South East, and most landlords are leaving money in it. Between Windsor Castle, Legoland Windsor Resort, Royal Ascot and the Windsor Great Park, demand runs across the year, not just in summer.
We run the whole operation for you: professional photography, listings, dynamic pricing, changeover cleaning, guest vetting, maintenance and full compliance. One local team, one contract, one monthly statement your accountant can read in 30 seconds.

THE REALITY IN 2026

The numbers most Windsor landlords have stopped looking at

Section 24 took the tax relief. The Renters’ Rights Act took the Section 21 notice. Fixed rates taken at 1.8% are rolling off at 5.9%. None of those changes stop a landlord from earning more. They only stop a buy-to-let landlord from earning more.

A typical 3-bed in the South East with a long-term tenant is undercharged by roughly £4,000 a year. Across a three-property portfolio, around £12,000 a year. It never shows up in any report, and when the tenant finally leaves, you still get the void.

“Around £4,000 a year per property undercharged on long tenancies. Before a single short-let booking.”

WHY WE EXIST

We have watched too many good Windsor landlords get burned

We know what it feels like to build a portfolio brick by brick, then watch the rules change underneath it. We started in 2022, after seeing landlords we respect lose control of properties they had looked after for years.
Three years and 3,000-plus guests later, we run properties from studio flats to ten-bedroom houses across Bristol and the South West to a five-star standard for the guest, and a professional standard for the owner. The guarantee below is the proof we put it in writing.

Airbnb Management Across Windsor, From Eton to Clewer

We manage short lets across the Windsor neighbourhoods that book well, and they do not all behave the same way. The town centre and Castle Hill draw shorter, premium stays from domestic and international tourists wanting walkable access to the castle, the Long Walk and the riverside restaurants. Eton pulls a quieter, professional crowd, often visiting academics, event guests and couples paying for the character of the high street and the college grounds. Clewer and the residential edges attract longer-stay leisure guests and families using Windsor as a base for Legoland, Ascot and the wider Thames Valley. We price and present each property for the people who actually book that postcode.
Windsor earns short-let demand all year, not in a single peak. Windsor Castle draws over a million visitors annually, keeping tourist occupancy solid through every month. Royal Ascot lifts rates sharply each June, and the wider royal calendar, including Trooping the Colour and the Windsor Horse Show, adds further peaks through the year. Heathrow Airport under fifteen minutes away feeds international arrivals. Legoland and the Great Park fill weekends for families year-round. We manage the calendar across all of it so the property is not waiting on one season.

On compliance we will be straight with you. Windsor falls within the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The council does not currently apply a blanket Article 4 direction on short lets, but letting an entire home on a short-term basis can still amount to a material change of use that needs planning permission depending on frequency and scale. England’s proposed C5 use class and national registration scheme for short lets are not yet in force as of 2026. We check your address against the current Royal Borough position before we furnish a single room, and we keep the gas, electrical and fire-safety paperwork in order so the let stands up to scrutiny.

Serviced accommodation & short lets in Windsor

We also run serviced accommodation and short lets in Windsor for owners who want full nightly management rather than a long tenancy. That covers town-centre apartments near the Castle and larger family homes in Old Windsor, Datchet and Clewer. We run all three models and recommend the mix that fits your property and the local demand, in your free report.

THE HONEST QUESTION

"But will this work for my property?"

01

Due diligence before we accept.

We pull local short-let data for your postcode and tell you honestly if the maths works. If it does not, we say so in writing.

02

Furniture we've already tested.

Across 3,000+ guests we know what converts to five-star reviews. We do not experiment with your money.

03

The financial risk in writing.

Miss the 30% uplift in 12 months and we refund the furniture and decoration. In your signed contract.

"We Have a 5 Bed Property"

Emerson helped us transition from a long term to a short term rental. We were anxious about the new laws on no fault evictions. The property is booking till July August already.

What we did for Azim

A fragile portfolio, made bookable in 30 days

Azim had a five bed sitting under a long term let. With the Renters' Rights Bill and the end of no-fault evictions rewriting the rules underneath him, the whole portfolio felt fragile. We switched the property to serviced accommodation in under 30 days. Furnished and photographed it to a 5-star standard, listed it across 35+ booking platforms, and built a live calendar he can see for himself. He's now booked through July and August on real, paying nights.

What we did for Saima

A full portfolio under one roof, zero compliance stress

Saima runs a 9 property portfolio in Reading, including an HMO. The Borough Council compliance load alone, the inspections, the licensing, the regulation, was eating into her time and her margin. We took the whole portfolio onto our books. Every property now runs through one point of contact, with full Borough Council compliance, maintenance handled the most economical way, and a transparent cost breakdown on every job. She gets the income. We handle everything else.

What guests and tenants are saying

Real reviews across her portfolio.

Live reviews pulled across Saima's properties. Same standard maintained whether it's an HMO room or a long-stay let.

"Literally the Best Out There"

Emerson is the best at what he does, and not only does he provide honest feedback, he delivers on his promises. He provides a bespoke and tailored experience from the very start, and takes on the management role from an owner's perspective rather than a third party. You feel like he never sleeps, always on hand with any queries, along with making analytical recommendations which sets him apart from all competition.

What we did for ADI Ltd

Owner-grade management, on a property that punishes shortcuts

A 10 bedroom house is a different animal. Get it wrong and it sits empty, gets damaged, or eats your margin in cleaning bills. We took it on the way we'd take on our own. That means honest feedback when something isn't working, analytical recommendations backed by booking data, and a hands-on approach the average letting agent simply can't match. The owner doesn't lift a phone. The property runs like a boutique hotel.

30%+

REVENUE GUARANTEE

Earn 30% more in twelve months, or we refund your furniture and decoration in full. Measured against your buy-to-let baseline.

30 days

WORKS GUARANTEE

Your refurbishment finishes on time and on budget, or we return 20% of the works cost. Out of our profit. The 30-day switch is on us to deliver.

4★

RATING GUARANTEE

If your rating slips below four stars, our fee stops. We work for free until it's back above 4.5. If we don't run it well, we don't get paid.

Airbnb management fees: what you pay

Our management fee is a flat 20% of booking revenue, with no lock-in and one month’s notice. No setup fee, no markup on maintenance, no surprises. Furniture and decoration are quoted upfront and shown in your report before you commit.

Most competitors charge a similar fee for a clean, a listing and a monthly invoice. The 20% here covers the full scope above, plus three written guarantees.

TWELVE MONTHS FROM TODAY

Twelve months from now, your Windsor let could run without you

You have a local team running the property daily. The income is higher, conservatively 30% above your buy-to-let baseline, arriving every month with a statement your accountant reads in 30 seconds.

You haven’t been to the property, answered a guest message, or bought a curtain. You are no longer waiting on the next Renters’ Rights amendment or chasing arrears. The asset is back under your control, in better condition than it has been in years. That is a contract, not a promise.

ERTE Property Management's frequently asked questions

Airbnb management in Windsor: your questions answered.

Outside London there is no automatic 90-night cap. In the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead the test is planning use. If you let a property so intensively that it becomes a material change of use, the council can require planning permission. More modest holiday letting usually stays within permitted use. We keep your letting pattern, certificates and records on the right side of that line and flag anything that needs an application.
Our fee is 20% of booking revenue, with no lock-in, one month's notice, and a 30-day switch from your current setup. There is no separate set-up charge buried in the small print. On top of the fee you get three written guarantees covering revenue, rating and works, plus our promise of 30% more income in 12 months or we refund the furniture and decoration.
Windsor has unusually steady tourist demand for its size. Windsor Castle, Legoland from March to early November, Royal Ascot in June, the Thames and Windsor Great Park, plus Heathrow fifteen minutes away, keep bookings coming across the year. The challenge is pricing the peaks correctly and filling the quieter midweeks. That is the part we manage across 35-plus channels.
Costs fall into three buckets: property overheads (mortgage, insurance, utilities), booking costs (channel commission, payment fees, our 20% management fee) and guest-ready costs (cleaning, linen, consumables). In practice the booking and guest-ready costs are built into the nightly rate and cleaning fee, so they aren't unexpected. Your free report breaks down the numbers for your specific property.
A standard buy-to-let policy will not cover short-term lettings. You need specialist holiday let insurance covering public liability, contents and loss of income. We point you to the right cover and hold a deposit on every booking as a further layer of protection.
Holiday lets need a fire risk assessment, interlinked smoke and heat alarms, fire-safe furnishings and clear escape routes. We arrange the assessment and the certificates as part of the 30-day switch, so the property is compliant before the first guest arrives.
