What House Owners Says
Partnering with KeyStride Estates was the best decision I’ve made for my portfolio. I went from managing tenant complaints to earning 2.5x more every month, completely hands-free. The team is proactive, transparent, and always one step ahead

Navigating Legislation with Confidence
EPC 2025 Compliance
From 2025, over 3 million UK homes are expected to fall below the new EPC energy efficiency standards — with average upgrade costs reaching £8,000 per property. At KeyStride Estates, we help landlords sidestep this financial strain by leveraging the serviced accommodation model, which offers more flexibility and fewer compliance hurdles compared to traditional buy-to-let.
Section 21 Evictions: A Growing Challenge
As inflation rises and the cost of living increases, late rental payments are becoming more common, and evictions now take up to 12 months on average. With KeyStride Estates, you don’t have to rely on long-term tenants. Our short-stay model eliminates the risk of non-paying tenants, giving you predictable income and total peace of mind.
Section 24: Tax Relief Without a Limited Company
Want to keep more of your rental income — even if you’re not operating under a limited company? Our landlords benefit from valuable tax advantages through serviced accommodation, helping them legally reduce their tax burden. Curious how it works? Let’s show you what’s possible.
Tax Advantages of Serviced Accommodation
Capital Gains Tax Reliefs
When you operate your property as a serviced accommodation, you’re eligible for a variety of tax reliefs typically reserved for active businesses. These include Entrepreneurs’ Relief, Hold-Over Relief, Relief for Gifts of Business Assets, Relief for Loans to Traders, and Roll-Over Relief — all designed to reduce your tax liability when selling or transferring assets.
Capital Allowances
Investing in high-quality furnishings, appliances, and fixtures for your serviced apartment doesn’t just enhance guest experience — it can also reduce your taxable profits. As a landlord, you may claim Capital Allowances on qualifying items, allowing you to offset these costs against your pre-tax earnings.
Pension Contributions
Profits from your serviced accommodation business are classed as ‘relevant earnings’, making you eligible to contribute to a pension scheme with valuable tax benefits. It’s a smart way to build long-term wealth while reducing your current tax bill.
Business Rates vs. Council Tax
Serviced accommodations are classified as businesses, not standard residential lets — meaning you won’t pay council tax. Instead, your property will fall under business rates, which are often significantly lower. In some cases, you may even qualify for Small Business Rate Relief, further improving your bottom line.
BTL vs SA
Significantly Higher Returns
The same property that brings in average income under a traditional rental can generate 2–3 times more profit when managed as serviced accommodation. This increase in earnings gives landlords greater financial flexibility and long-term security.
No More Problem Tenants
Traditional buy-to-let agreements come with long-term tenant risk — and if things go wrong, eviction can take up to a year. With our serviced model, you’re not dealing with tenants, but with paying guests who settle upfront. That means no late payments, no rent arrears, and no legal headaches.
Your Property Stays Guest-Ready
Unlike standard rentals, our model requires properties to be kept in hotel-like condition year-round. Professional cleaning and regular maintenance ensure that your investment is always presentable and well cared for — not left to chance after a long tenancy.
