An evolving sector with so much opportunity
The short-let industry is evolving and regulation is tightening. Owners want trusted professionals to guide them through the complexities. Pass the Keys is leading this shift: combining tech, brand strength and operational excellence to attract homeowners and retain profitable properties. This is how our business model works:
Core revenue
Property management fees (~18% + VAT of rental booking value)
Additional income
Cleaning markup, onboarding fees, upsells (e.g. window cleaning, energy certificates, maintenance services)
Low overheads
A small team can manage up to 50 properties
Each property generates ~£4,000 * net income p.a.
Scale to 50+ properties per territory
Close relationship with Airbnb and Booking.com
Combine personal service with AI optimisation
Payments handled by PTK so you focus on growth
World-class proprietary tech to automate ops
* The figure of £4,000 per property is an illustrative example only. Actual earnings vary significantly depending on property size, location, seasonality, guest demand, and management approach. No income is guaranteed
Less firefighting, more strategy. That’s how you scale.
We’ve always been tech-led, and we’ve invested heavily in AI tools that streamline daily tasks – so you and your team can focus on growth, quality, and human relationships with your clients.
While independent operators and smaller firms wrestle with complexity, you deliver a seamless, 5-star experience powered by intelligence and efficiency.
“Naturally, there are many processes involved in this business that need to be done on a daily basis. The technology streamlines and automates these processes perfectly.”
Adam Michaels, The Chilterns

“We're running at about mid-fifties property-wise...and our goal in the next couple of years is to get to one hundred. I don’t think we could have grown our business as quickly as we have without Pass the Keys.”
Vicky Brown & Andy Morton, Shropshire
Your journey
We’ve already made the mistakes, so you don’t have to. You’ll have a proven roadmap designed to help you grow quickly and build something that lasts.
Foundations
Sign up 15-30 properties, build your initial team and oversee operations with support covering all aspects of the business.

Scale to 50+ properties with our help to refine margins, hire a city manager, and optimise performance.
Develop
Explore new revenue streams or additional territories. You’ve built a true property business asset, with time freedom to match.
"We get ongoing support from our Account Managers. They have all run their own territories before, so they’re all experts. It’s just lovely knowing that you’re not on your own."
Tom Sherlock, Chichester & Portsmouth
Invest in the property industry with a proven business model
The total initial investment to start your new property business is typically £40,000–£50,000 (including working capital) depending on your territory.
With the right mindset, reinvestment strategy and support from our team, you could be on a trajectory to achieve six-figure returns in under three years. Then aim to join our million-pound club, and ultimately overtake our largest operation, which generates more than £200K profit annually.
The race is on!
