By listing on Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo/Stayz and more, Reading homes reach both business travellers (Green Park, Thames Valley Park) and visitors for Reading Festival and sports weekends. Lead time is typically 2–4 weeks for peak dates; we price by day-of-week, events and demand to drive higher visibility and steadier occupancy.
Reading short-lets typically achieve an ADR of £128 with around 66% occupancy, delivering about £30,838 in annual revenue for a well-run 1–2 bed. Demand is a healthy mix of mid-week corporate stays (Thames Valley Park, Green Park, town-centre offices) and weekend leisure trips. With multi-platform distribution and dynamic pricing, hosts usually see ~+25% uplift from better event/seasonal rates, minimum-stay tuning and gap-filling.



The team is professional, responsive, and truly understands what it takes to manage short-term rentals effectively.


I’ve been incredibly lucky with Alex Taylor: professional, friendly, and always helpful. He’s handled everything brilliantly - I’d give him 6 stars if I could.


For the past year, my Houst contact has been incredibly helpful - coordinating repairs, upgrades, and even being on-site when needed. Super reliable and accommodating.


The staff is available 24/7. Messages sent are replied to very quickly. The information about the properties is detailed and clear. Everything goes very smoothly.


The house is well maintained and clean, the dashboard provides up to date and historical information & the guests are taken care of.


I have had a brilliant experience renting my property through Houst. Everyone has been very hands on and contactable which has really put me at ease.
