Since launching in 2023, we've managed over 25,000 guest stays, helped our landlords generate more than £3 million, and grown to manage 150+ properties nationwide. Now we're looking for ambitious partners to launch Sophie's Homes in new locations across the UK.

We're the hosting experts.

Sophie's Homes combines local expertise with proven systems, giving landlords a hands-off property management service backed by industry-leading technology and round-the-clock guest support. Our national operations team manages pricing, guest communication, maintenance, cleaning and laundry, allowing partners to focus on growing their local portfolio and building relationships. As we continue expanding across the UK, we're looking for driven local partners to operate Sophie's Homes in their own region with the support of an established national brand.
