Proof

Case studies

Results we can evidence, published only when the owner agrees and the figures come from the booking records. Here is what we will show you, and what we would measure on your property.

The standard

What a real case study should show you

The before, the intervention, the after, and the fee. Anything less is marketing.

A case study is only worth reading if you can argue with it. Most cannot be, because the parts that would let you check the claim are missing. Four things make the difference.

  • The before. What the property earned, on which channels, at what occupancy, across which months. Twelve months of real trading history, not one good August.
  • The intervention. What changed, and in what order. New photography. A shorter minimum stay in the shoulder months. Pricing that moves with demand instead of a flat rate held all year. More shop windows through marketing and distribution.
  • The after. The same metrics over a comparable period. January against January, not January against the following July.
  • The fee. Gross booking revenue is not what reaches your account. A study that quotes gross and goes quiet about commission, cleaning and the management fee is an advert. Ours are set out on management fees.

And the caveat most operators skip: a strong result on a seafront two-bed says little about a suburban studio. Different rate, different season curve, different guest. A single study is evidence that a method works, never a forecast for your property.

Status

The ones we are preparing

We are preparing {{TODO: confirm with FSM}} case studies with owners across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch. None appears here until two things are true: every figure comes from the booking and payout records, and the owner has consented in writing.

Anyone can typeset a 40% uplift. We would rather show a smaller number we can defend line by line, with the fee taken off it. Until then, judge us on the method, on the two plans and what they cost, and on the projection we put in writing for your property.

Case study in preparation

{{TODO: confirm with FSM}} — real figures and a real owner quote go here. We publish nothing we have not verified, so this slot stays empty until FSM supplies it.

Metrics

What we would measure on your property

Five numbers. They are the same five that appear in your monthly statement, so a case study is really just a year of that reporting, written up.

  • Occupancy. Nights booked as a share of nights available, after you have blocked the dates you want. Easy to fake on its own: drop the rate far enough and you will fill the calendar and earn less.
  • Average nightly rate. Booking revenue divided by nights sold. Easy to fake in the other direction, by pricing high and sitting empty.
  • RevPAR. Rate multiplied by occupancy: revenue per available night. The number that catches both tricks, and the one we would be judged on.
  • Review score. Ratings drive ranking on every channel, and ranking drives the next booking. Mostly won on response time and check-in, which is why guest communication runs around the clock.
  • Cost per changeover. What each turnaround costs in cleaning, linen and laundry. Housekeeping is coordinated through our vetted partner network rather than done in-house, and the cost is reported to you, not buried in a net figure.

All five sit in the owner portal and monthly reporting, updated as bookings land. You never wait for a case study to learn whether the method works on your property. You watch it happen.

For context, the model behind our estimator assumes a well-distributed, actively priced property reaches around 68% occupancy against roughly 47% for a listing stuck on one channel. Indicative modelling assumptions, not measurements from your street, and not a promise. The managed versus self-managed comparison pulls the difference apart.

Next step

Get your own projection instead

Someone else's numbers are entertainment. Yours are a decision. Run the estimator below, then request a free valuation: rate by season, realistic occupancy, cost per changeover, and what lands in your account after the fee, in writing.

If you already run the property well and simply want more bookings, you do not need to hire us to manage anything. List on Flexiestays for 5%, keep control of pricing and guests, and take the extra reach of the Flexiestays booking platform. If you would rather not think about it at all, the 15% fully managed service covers the lot, listing included.

FAQs

Questions about proof

The honest answers, including the ones that do not flatter us.

Because we do not have owner-approved figures we can stand behind yet. A case study needs a trading history before the change, the same metrics after it, and an owner who is happy for both to be public. Until all three exist, this page stays empty rather than fill itself with numbers we invented. If that costs us an enquiry, so be it.
Not as a published study, not yet. What we can do today is give you a projection for your own property: bedrooms, bathrooms, location and season curve, built into a written valuation. That is more use than someone else's flat anyway.
No. The estimator is an indicative model built from typical Bournemouth and Dorset nightly rates and two occupancy assumptions. It is a starting point for a conversation, not measured performance and not a guarantee.
Only with written consent, and only to the level of detail the owner agrees to. Most owners are happy with the property type and the area, for example a two-bedroom seafront apartment in Bournemouth, and not the door number.
Reference calls are arranged only where an owner has offered. Ask when we speak and we will tell you honestly whether one is available at that moment. {{TODO: confirm with FSM}}
Occupancy, average nightly rate, RevPAR, guest review score and cost per changeover. The same five figures appear in your monthly owner statement, so you can check our work as it happens rather than waiting for a write-up.
No, and anyone who says otherwise is selling. Rate, occupancy and season curve vary street by street in Bournemouth. Treat any single case study as evidence that a method works, never as a forecast for your own property.
