The Greybourne Approach to R2SA

May 18, 2025

Rent-to-Serviced Accommodation (R2SA) can be a powerful model for generating cash flow—if done right. But the truth is, a lot of investors get burned by under-researched deals, unrealistic forecasts, and patchy compliance. At Greybourne, we take a different approach—one grounded in selectivity, data, and structure.

We start by sourcing in demand-led areas, not just where yields look good on paper. We assess short-let saturation, occupancy trends, licensing rules, and local regulations before even making contact with a landlord. Once the area makes sense, we target properties with layout flexibility (ideally 2–4 beds), private entrances, and SA-friendly landlords who are open to alternative use.

Then comes negotiation. We don't just ask, “Can we rent this?” We structure it with clarity—fair market rents, clear maintenance responsibility, and landlord benefits. Our investor packs include projected nightly rates, competitor benchmarking, and realistic net profit projections—usually £700–£1,500/month.

R2SA works when you treat it like a business, not a buzzword. That’s the Greybourne approach.
