Have your holiday apartment let for you in Solingen
You own an apartment in Solingen and want it let as a holiday apartment — without writing listings, answering guests or handing over keys at ten at night? We take on the marketing and the management completely. You provide the apartment; we provide the income, typically 30 to 60 percent above what self-management produces, and with less of your time in it.
What self-management costs you in Solingen
Running a holiday apartment in Solingen yourself is a job that never closes: last-minute enquiries, weekly repricing, cleaning logistics, keeping on top of the tax treatment of letting income, and, depending on the town, making sure you hold whatever change-of-use permission is required. Anyone doing that alongside another job leaves 30 to 60 percent of the achievable income on the table — through pricing that lags the market, slow replies, and the reviews that follow from both.
Why owners choose Aura Apart
- Dynamic pricing done properly — typically 30 to 60 percent more income than self-management
- Professional photography and listing optimisation, for visibility that compounds
- Guest communication in German and English around the clock — fast replies mean better reviews
- All the tax filings handled: accommodation and bed tax where the town charges one, and VAT
- A transparent monthly payout with a full statement
Does this describe your property in Solingen?
Seven signs that a Holiday letting mandate would pay for itself.
- You own an apartment that could work as a short-term or holiday let
- You want income from it without the day-to-day work
- Managing it yourself is taking too much time or patience
- You do not have the pricing or market knowledge to optimise rates
- The photography and listing quality are below what the platforms reward
- Tax filings, bed tax or change-of-use rules are unclear to you
- The apartment is empty, or let below what the market would pay
How a mandate in Solingen works
1. We view the property
We visit your apartment free of charge and without obligation, and assess the location, the fittings, which kind of guest it suits (city break, wellness, family, bleisure) and the occupancy we would expect.
2. Positioning and pricing
We put together a letting plan: the audience, a photography brief, what we would add or change, and a pricing strategy by season. You get a written income forecast before anything is signed.
3. Listing and booking setup
Professional photography and listing copy for Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO. We synchronise the calendars, fit the smart lock and set up the owner statement workflow.
4. Going live and running it
We go live and take on everything: guest communication, check-in, cleaning, maintenance, tax filings and the monthly payout. You see the income; we do the rest.
Frequently asked questions — Holiday letting in Solingen
What could I realistically earn from my holiday apartment in Solingen?
It depends on location, fittings, season and size. Gross income for a one-bedroom apartment in Solingen usually lands between 18,000 and 45,000 EUR a year. We give you a written forecast based on comparable properties before anything is signed.
How is the commission structured in Solingen?
We normally work on 20 to 25 percent of gross income, with everything included — listing, guests, cleaning, maintenance coordination and tax filings. No setup fee, and no minimum term shorter than twelve months.
Do I need to register a business to let short-term in Solingen?
In most cases this counts as letting income rather than a trade, and no business registration is needed — as long as you are not adding hotel-style services. Once breakfast or similar services are included, the classification changes. We check your specific case.
What about accommodation tax and bed tax in Solingen?
We handle the registration and the monthly payment of accommodation or bed tax in Solingen where the town levies one, and we watch the VAT threshold for you as turnover grows.
Can I still use the apartment in Solingen myself?
Of course. You block your own dates in the calendar — four weeks in the summer, say — and we market only what is left.
