Tell us a bit about yourself and your interest in Lincolnshire as a short-term rental hotspot...

Pass The Keys Lincoln launched in 2021, and I am extremely excited to be taking over as the new owner.

I began my own property management company in Lincoln in 2019 due to the increasing amount of development taking place and the subsequent surge in business growth.

• Why is Lincoln good for short-letting on platforms like Airbnb?

Lincoln has fast become a hub of culture and activity for both tourism and commerce. Having spent 10 years as a nurse, I developed a high aptitude for service, a trait I strive to mirror within Property Management.

• What drew you to partnering with Pass the Keys?

The main draw for me to join the Pass The Keys family was the vast amount of expertise and the 24/7 support through customized apps and technology systems. I was extremely excited to buy into the nationwide short-term management company as the Lincoln Franchise owner this year. Through the Pass The Keys model, I can now visualize a scalable property management service in Lincoln.

• What is your top tip for homeowners short-letting their property on sites like Airbnb?

My top tip is to stand out with a property listing name that appeals to the customer. If there is a landmark that your property is close to, ensure that the name includes this landmark. Also, ensure you have attractive, professional photos showing your property at its best!
