Worcester

When do people visit Worcester?

Worcester boasts the same peak tourist season as the rest of the UK, running roughly from April to October – but as you’ll see below, thanks to some of the business and educational motivations behind travel to Worcester – as with London and Birmingham, once again there is year-round demand for short term lets here – and with it comes year round demand for support from the property management sector, and services such as the SevenStays property management platform.

Corporate Travel

Though it may not seem like it at first, Worcester is something of a hub for corporate and business travel. People will come in from all over the world on a short-term basis to visit or attend the university, so there is a student market here. Modern scholars often turn to short term lets rather than letting agents these days to either find a suitable house share with likeminded people if they are attending classes, or something more akin to a holiday home if they’re only visiting on business.

Worcester has a successful software industry, home to at least two successful software companies. As such, there are likely to be coho offers and opportunities for house sharing, as people move to the area for work. The HMO market is large, as there’s a growing trend for co living offers. There are lettings agents managing thousands of properties.

Speaking of business though, don’t forget that there are a number of large and famous companies based in Worcester – including Lea & Perrin’s, Worcester Bosch Group, Carmichael, and more. All of these companies will have their own sales and marketing activity going on, but then in addition to executives visiting a Worcester based company this there’s also the possibility of business travellers to Birmingham using Worcester as a bedroom community, since it is a manageable commute.

What’s more, because of this Worcester is ideally placed to allow for ‘hybrid working’ (a situation that sees someone work from home or another location that’s local to them but far from their employer’s headquarters, and only travelling in to that HQ when necessary), there’s even more of a domestic market for corporate travel to London too. Wherever they may be coming from though, with the help of SevenStays – the new property management platform in Worcester – you can make sure that your corporate guests are well looked after.

It should also be highlighted that corporate travel is good for hosts too. Because we provide Airbnb management Worcester hosts rely on, we see all kinds of properties booked and lived in by all kinds of guests – and we can tell you that corporate guests are amongst the very best many landlords can get. They pay in advance, stay longer, stay / re-book more regularly and are generally tidier than other guests too.
