Founder-Led Airbnb Management and Co-Hosting Across Essex, England
HOSTED Property manages Airbnb and co-hosted properties across the Essex commuter belt to a published operating standard, the kind of detail most landlords are never shown. Founded by Terry Reid, the business is being built around real demand from contractors, NHS staff, relocating professionals, and holidaymakers moving through Chelmsford, Brentwood, and Southend, giving Essex landlords a transparent alternative to management they are simply expected to trust.
SERVICES OVERVIEW
How We Work With You
Two ways to work with HOSTED Property, both run against the same published standard, so you always know what your property is being managed to and can check it for yourself.
Airbnb Management
HOSTED Property takes full responsibility for your Airbnb listing from end to end, covering photography and pricing strategy, guest messaging, cleaning coordination, and maintenance oversight. Every property is managed against a published operating standard rather than a vague promise, so you can see exactly what good looks like and hold us to it. Where many national managers ask landlords to hand over the keys and stop asking questions, HOSTED sets out how your property will be priced, presented, and maintained from the outset, then reports back against that standard month by month, giving you the visibility to check the numbers rather than take them on trust.
Co-Hosting
Already managing your own Airbnb but finding it harder to keep on top of guest messages, cleaning turnarounds, and pricing decisions? HOSTED Property's co-hosting service sits alongside your existing listing, handling the day-to-day operational load while you retain full ownership and control of the account itself. It is built for landlords who want a professional standard of guest experience without giving up their direct relationship with the property or the platform. As with our full management service, co-hosting is run against the same published operating standard, so you can see precisely what you are paying for and how your property is being represented to guests.

FOUNDER
ABOUT
Led by a Founder Who Publishes the Standard, Not Just the Promise
HOSTED Property was founded by Terry Reid to solve a problem a lot of Essex landlords will recognise: national management companies ask you to hand over your property and stop asking questions, competing on how little you need to do rather than what you are actually able to check. HOSTED was built the other way round. Every property is managed against a published operating standard, with the numbers behind pricing, maintenance, and guest communication laid out for the landlord to see, not just promised in a sales call. The business is being grown deliberately, starting in the Essex commuter belt around Chelmsford, Brentwood, and Southend, where contractor, NHS, relocation, and holiday demand already exists, with a clear twelve month ambition to reach five to ten managed properties through a fully systemised, repeatable way of working rather than rapid, unmanaged growth.
GUEST TYPES
Accommodation for Every Type of Guest
HOSTED Property is built around the guest types already moving through the Essex commuter belt, from contractors and NHS staff to relocating professionals and holidaymakers exploring the coast.
