The situation

Stability or peak profitability: why should you choose?

Every traditional strategy has its limitations. Our hybrid approach overcomes them both.

🏠
Option 01

Long-term rental

  • + Rent remains stable throughout the year
  • + Simple administrative management
  • − Capped return
  • − Significant loss of revenue during the peak season — twice or three times the potential revenue lost
⚠ You're leaving money on the table every summer.
☀️
Option 02

100% seasonal rental

  • + Very high revenue from June to September
  • − Significant risk of rental voids from October to May
  • − Extremely time-consuming management — bookings, cleaning, communication
⚠ Profitable in the summer, risky the rest of the year.

The Blockrent strategy

Hybrid rental

  • + Student Mobility Tenancy: 8–9 months’ security
  • + Holiday rentals: income increases two to fourfold in summer
  • + Almost continuous occupancy, 12 months a year
  • + 100% outsourced management
✓ The best of both worlds, without the inconveniences.

The process

Student Mobility Tenancy + Seasonal rental

Our knowledge of the French Riviera market has enabled us to develop a strategy that is perfectly suited to the region’s pace. We align two strong rental demands that complement each other perfectly.

September → April · 8 months

Safety with
student accommodation

The French Riviera is a major university hub (Nice, Sophia Antipolis, etc.). We are targeting this high demand by offering your furnished property under a ‘Bail Mobilité’ tenancy agreement, a contract lasting between 1 and 10 months that is ideal for students.

The benefits Rent guaranteed throughout the academic year, no vacant periods, and a tenant who vacates the property just before the peak season.
May → August · 4 months

The peak in profitability
with holiday rentals

As soon as the student leaves, we prepare the flat to welcome guests. We create and optimise listings on Airbnb and Booking.com to capitalise on the peak summer demand.

The benefits Your rental income doubles, triples or even quadruples during the busiest months, sending your annual return soaring.

Management

A successful strategy, delegated management

This dual-pronged strategy may seem complicated to manage. That is why we offer a comprehensive management service to make it 100% hands-off for you.

List of services: — Careful screening and selection of student tenants — Drafting and signing of tenancy agreements — Creation and management of your listings on online platforms — Optimisation of pricing and scheduling — Coordination of cleaning, laundry and maintenance — Communication with guests
