Our Story
About CCPSTAYS Property
started 53 Degrees Property in November 2019 with less than £5,000 and a hunch that there was a smarter way to build a property business, one that didn't depend on owning bricks and mortar or taking on mortgage debt.
We solve a simple problem: property owners want consistent, high-yielding returns without the headache of running short-stay accommodation themselves, and most operators in the market do it badly.
Our background spans property investing, property management and lettings, three disciplines that come together in everything we do. We know what landlords need because we are landlords ourselves.
What Is It
Built by the Buddens, for the long term.
Airbnb management (also called short-let or short-stay management) is a fully outsourced service where a specialist company runs your property as a short-term rental on your behalf, handling everything from listing and pricing to guests, cleaning and compliance.
Instead of juggling guest messages, turnovers, dynamic pricing, reviews and maintenance yourself, an experienced team takes care of every touchpoint while you receive a single monthly payout. Done well, it produces meaningfully higher net income than a traditional let, with none of the day-to-day workload.
At 53 Degrees Property we manage 150+ properties across the UK, blending local market knowledge with proven systems so owners get the upside of short-stay without the headaches.
What We Stand For
Three values, applied to every property
Transparency
- No surprises, full visibility, always. Clear statements, honest projections, plain English.
Professionalism
- Five-star standards on every clean, listing and stay. The detail compounds.
Genuinely Hands-Off
- Most landlords hear from us once a month, by design.
Going International
From the North West to the World
After six years of refining our model across the UK, we're taking 53 Degrees international. Same family, same standards, two of the most exciting short-let markets on the planet.
53 Degrees Cape Town
- Cape Town is one of the world's most desirable short-let destinations, combining year-round tourism, a favourable exchange rate for international owners and a strong domestic market. We're launching in May 2026 with a hand-picked portfolio in the City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard and Winelands.
53 Degrees Dubai
- Dubai's short-let market is one of the fastest-growing in the world, with strong yields, zero income tax for owners and exceptional year-round demand from international visitors. Our Dubai operation launches later this year, focused on Downtown, Marina and Palm Jumeirah.
