Our story
The story of Teddy began in a first floor Victorian conversion flat in Battersea, London.
Charlie and his partner had just discovered the wonderful news that they were about to welcome a baby girl into the world.
But... they lived in a little one bedroom apartment (which they shared with their sausage dog, Beans).
They knew they needed to upsize and decided to rent out their property to help pay for their onward move.
Charlie has a decade of experience working in the London property market so decided to follow the well trodden path of a traditional long term let and accepted an offer of £1840 pcm.
However, feeling brave, at the very last minute Charlie pulled out.
With the rise in demand for short term accommodation and the introduction of many Airbnb hosting companies entering the market, Charlie decided to take a punt.
The plan was to Short Let the property on 1-5 month contracts and then to fill any void periods with Airbnb.
The result was an average monthly rental income of £3000 and little to no void periods
And thus Teddy was born.
The Teddy Method has now been replicated for many happy landlords all over London.
