Who we are
Expert property management, simplified.
Unico Suites is the serviced accommodation arm of an established group managing over 1,000 properties across Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire. We turn long-let homes into premium short-stay assets — fully hands-off, fully accountable.
- Higher income than a traditional AST tenancy in most areas we operate in.
- Zero day-to-day — bookings, cleaning, linen, guests, maintenance — all handled in-house.
- Transparent reporting with monthly statements and live occupancy dashboards.
- Insured & screened guests to keep your property safe.
- Local expertise in Bedford from a founding team that lives and lets in the market.
What we do
A complete management service.
Every part of running a serviced accommodation — handled in-house, end-to-end, with the same attention to detail you'd give it yourself.
Vetted Guests
Every guest is ID-verified and screened before they book, with insurance cover in place — so your property stays protected.
Dynamic Pricing
Real-time pricing tuned to local events, demand and seasonality so we capture the highest rate without sitting empty.
Multi-Platform Listing
Professionally listed and synced across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and direct — channel-managed to avoid double bookings.
Photography & Staging
Styled, staged and professionally photographed so your listing stands out and commands the highest nightly rate.
Cleaning & Linen
Hotel-standard turnaround, fresh hotel-grade linen and consumables restocked between every stay — coordinated by our in-house team.
Maintenance & Inspections
Routine inspections plus a vetted contractor network. Issues spotted early, fixed before they become problems — at trade rates.
Monthly Reporting
Transparent monthly statement and dashboard — occupancy, nightly rate, opex and net to you. No surprises, no spreadsheets.

From key handover to first booking in days.

- No backup when you're away, even with guests mid-stay.
