The problem this solves

Growing a portfolio is a different problem to running one.

Unpredictable growth

Referrals arrive when they arrive. Ads are expensive and competitive on every keyword. Most months, you don't know how many new landlord conversations are coming.

The leaking bucket

Every portfolio loses clients — landlords sell, switch, or move back in. Without a steady inflow, a portfolio doesn't stay flat. It quietly shrinks year on year.

A different skill set

Paid search, SEO, and nurture sequences are a full-time specialism. You're an expert at managing properties. Acquiring them at volume is a different job entirely.

A different model

Stayful generates the enquiry. You buy the conversation.

Getting found by landlords searching for STR management is a specialism of its own — and it's the part most operators don't have time to run. Stayful does that work and hands the enquiries it generates to STR operators in a steady flow, at a fixed and predictable cost.

01

The lead

A landlord searches Google for STR management and submits an enquiry. Not cold — they've decided to explore. They just haven't found their operator.

02

The filter

A full financial model runs first — projected net STR income vs. their current income, using live Airbnb data for their postcode. Every lead is modelled before it reaches you.

03

A landlord expecting a call

Your key differentiator

Every landlord gets an email from Stayful saying a trusted local operator will be in touch about their property, with four quick questions about how and when they'd like to be contacted. They've consented, and they're expecting a call. This is a warm lead, not cold outreach.

A trusted local operator will be in touch

Hi Sarah — thanks for your enquiry. A trusted local short-term letting operator will be in touch about your Darlington property. So they can contact you the way you prefer, there are four quick questions below. It takes about 30 seconds.

How leads are qualified

The qualification process

Every lead has been financially modelled against the landlord's current income using live Airbnb data for their postcode.

Step 1
Enquiry received

The landlord finds Stayful through Google and fills out our enquiry form.

The landlord finds Stayful through Google and fills out our enquiry form.

We generate an income report for the property and process the data internally, comparing their estimated short-term let income against their current long-term let income.

From the short-term let estimate, we deduct:

OTA (booking platform) commissions
A buffer for cleaning
A buffer for bills
A buffer for maintenance
Our management charge of 15% + VAT

If there is still an uplift after all these deductions — meaning the property would be more profitable as a short-term let than it currently is as a long-term let — the lead is considered qualified and passed over.

What happens after you subscribe

From signup to first conversation.

1

You subscribe via Stripe

Your dashboard is live immediately — allocation, billing dates, and a pacing indicator showing how many leads you should have received by today.

Monthly pacing7 / 20 leads
2

An enquiry is financially modelled

Each new landlord enquiry is run through the model — projected net STR income vs. current income. If the numbers make a case for STR, the lead enters the assignment queue.

3

You receive it, one a working day

Your month's leads arrive one per working day rather than as a batch on your renewal date, so each one is fresh when you ring. The moment one is released to you, your dashboard notifies you and an email lands with full details.

You call. They're expecting it.

The landlord has been told a trusted local operator will be in touch. The profile gives you a relevant opening — their income, their mortgage, what they asked about. Not a stranger.

Mark each lead as you go. On your billing date, your count resets and the next 20 begin arriving throughout the month. Shortfalls carry forward automatically.

Track every lead

A mini CRM for your pipeline — track every lead from first contact to a signed management agreement.

Every lead gets its own pipeline. Move it through the stages as you work it, set a date for when it is due to be called, and let the priority list order who to call next. Store your STR Analyser reports and income figures against each lead, keep timestamped notes, and watch your whole funnel — with your conversion rate at every stage — on one dashboard you can export to PDF.

What you pay for, vs. what running ads buys
Paid ads aren't just costly — they're a specialism. All of that campaign work is stripped away and replaced with one simple monthly price per lead.
Google Ads — one click on a management keyword£8–25
A click — not a name, a number, or a completed enquiry. And the campaign is technical to build, measure, and optimise.
Facebook Ads — one lead£10–25
Even harder — constant testing of creatives, angles, hooks, and CTAs just to keep cost per lead down.
Stayful — one financially modelled, consented enquiry£15 flat
No campaigns, no creative testing — a simple monthly price per lead. The output of a campaign with none of the work.

Solving the leaking bucket

A 25-property portfolio, over 24 months.

Same starting point, same 10–12% annual churn. The only difference is a steady supply of new leads.

With the marketplace→ 30 properties
Without→ 21 properties

Conservative model: 20 leads/month at 5% conversion = ~12 potential properties per year, shown at 25–50% of that rate to reflect realistic 4–12 week close timelines.

What consistency builds

Recurring revenue added, month by month.

At roughly one new property every two months from month three — conservative for 4–12 week close timelines.

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

We only take on customers when we know we can fill the demand — Stayful assesses available lead volume before onboarding anyone new, so your monthly allocation is what we're working to deliver. Leads arrive one a working day rather than as a batch on your renewal date, so each one is fresh when you ring. Your subscription buys that many lead credits and they don't expire: if a quiet month delivers fewer, the unused credits carry forward to the next month rather than being lost. The preview above shows how your leads would be matched to where you operate, for both plans, before you sign up.
Every lead comes from an organic Google search for STR property management followed by a completed enquiry form. Before reaching subscribers, each lead is run through a financial model comparing projected STR income against their current arrangement using live Airbnb data for their postcode. These are people who went looking for what you do.
Every lead is delivered with the full information received — name, address, phone, email, bedroom count, estimated income, and a written profile. If you work a lead and find the landlord had already gone — they'd appointed someone else, stopped letting, or the details don't reach them — you report it from the lead itself, and if it stands up the credit goes back on your account. Leads that simply don't convert are not refundable — the 5% conversion rate is a long-run average across thousands of enquiries, not a per-lead guarantee. For more on how this is handled, see if something's not right.
Cancel anytime from your billing settings. There is no minimum term and no cancellation penalty. If your monthly allocation isn't met in a billing period, the unused credits carry forward to the following month and stay on your account.
A Google Ads click on a property management keyword in a competitive UK city costs £8–25 — a click, not a name, phone number, or completed enquiry with property details and estimated income. At £15 per financially modelled, Google-intent enquiry, the cost is for the output of a campaign, not a step within one. And you don't need to build, manage, or optimise a campaign to receive the leads.
Each lead is normally assigned to no more than three operators at once, and a lead nobody takes up can be passed on further. Your leads are matched to the areas you tell us you cover, best matches first, and each one is labelled with why you got it. You are charged per lead received, not per lead pursued. The preview above shows how far your area reaches on each plan.
