Salford Transformed

Salford, Greater Manchester M7

Property & Ownership Overview

This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home in Salford was previously occupied by its local owner as a private residence. After noticing a neighbouring property earning substantially higher income through short-term rental platforms, the owner began exploring Airbnb as a more profitable alternative. Referred to KozyGuru through a trusted property investor network, the owner sought a full-service solution to convert their residential property into a high-performing short-term accommodation—without the need for personal involvement.

Key Issues Faced

Lack of Short-Term Rental Experience : The owner had no prior exposure to holiday letting and was unsure where to start.
‍
Unfurnished for Guests : The property lacked suitable furnishings and amenities for Airbnb guests.
‍
No Setup Strategy : The owner didn’t know what makes a property “Airbnb-ready,” or how to create a compelling listing that would stand out in the competitive Greater Manchester market.
‍
Operational Uncertainty : There was no plan for managing cleaning, guest communication, or pricing—creating risk of underperformance.

Before & After

Before

The property was previously used as a private residence and had not been prepared for the demands of short-term letting. It lacked guest-focused furnishings and amenities, and the owner had no prior experience with Airbnb setup or management. Without a clear strategy for listing, pricing, or guest services, the property was at risk of underperforming in a competitive market—generating no income and leaving the owner uncertain about how to begin.

After

With KozyGuru’s expert support, the property was fully transformed into a guest-ready Airbnb. It was professionally furnished and styled, optimised for comfort and aesthetics. A compelling listing was launched with high-quality photos and SEO-optimised descriptions. The home began receiving 5-star reviews across key categories, achieved consistent bookings, and now generates a reliable stream of passive income—delivered through our full-service management solution.
