Game, set, profit! 🎾💰 Letting out your London property during major sporting events like Wimbledon, is an ace way to make money. Here are the benefits of cashing in on the action: 1️⃣ Prime Location: With Wimbledon being one of the most prestigious events in the sporting calendar, your London property becomes a hot commodity. Its proximity to the tournament ensures a high demand and the opportunity to maximize rental income. 2️⃣ Premium Pricing: Sporting events like Wimbledon attract a global audience, including avid fans and high-profile attendees. This means you can charge premium rates for your property, taking advantage of the influx of visitors willing to pay top dollar for a comfortable and convenient stay. 3️⃣ Short-Term Rentals: Renting out your property during major sporting events allows you to tap into the lucrative short-term rental market. With many visitors preferring the comfort and privacy of a home rather than a hotel, you can enjoy a steady stream of bookings and generate significant income over a short period. 4️⃣ Flexibility: By letting out your property during major sporting events, you have the flexibility to choose when to make it available for rent. This means you can still enjoy my property when it's not in high demand and capitalize on the profitable periods. So, if you're ready to turn your London property into a winning investment, get in touch with our London team at Fairway Hosting, to see how we can help you. #wimbledonairbnb #londonairbnb #londonlettings

Is the Silverstone Grand Prix just about speed and adreniline? Not at all.....the British Grand Prix significantly benefits the #northamptonshire economy.....and here’s why: 💷 The race attracts over 400,000 spectators during the weekend, filling local hotels, campsites, and B&B's. Visitors spend on accommodation, meals, and entertainment, providing a substantial boost to the hospitality sector - Whittlebury Park and the new Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone for example 🍔 Pubs, restaurants, and shops near the circuit experience increased footfall....from merchandise sales to food and beverages, businesses thrive during the event, our local pub which is just a few miles from the circuit will be full. 🏎️ The area has become the epi-centre of the motor-racing industry and supply-chains, with a huge talent-pool of engineers, designers, manufacturing businesses and professional firms, all providing high-tech, highly skilled jobs - for example the Catesby Projects facility near #Daventry 🧑 The Grand Prix creates temporary jobs for local residents, including security, catering, and event staff - of all ages, and provides a great experience. 🛣️ The race drives infrastructure improvements......roads (like the A43 link from M40 to M1), parking facilities, and utilities (including a great local internet backbone) enhancing the region’s overall appeal. 🚀 The event receives global media coverage, showcasing Northamptonshire’s scenic beauty and cultural heritage..........attracting future tourists and investors - the members of the Silverstone Technology Cluster being a great example. 🍾🍾 The event fosters community pride and engagement. Locals participate in festivities, volunteer, and celebrate - this year its #kingsofleon. 📈 So the British Grand Prix isn’t just about speed and adrenaline; it fuels economic #growth, supports local businesses, and strengthens community bonds. Its great to be at the heart of all this at #towcester Business Buzz - Local Business Networking. The picture of #nigelmansells F1 winning car was from the reception at Canon Europe where I spent a couple of years of my career. #growth #silverstone #grandprix #businessowner

What is the Topgolf Effect? 🏌♀️ ⛳ The Topgolf Effect is a powerful phenomenon where the arrival of a Topgolf venue spurs growth and attracts new businesses and retailers to the area. It's more than just a place for fun and games—it's a catalyst for community transformation. When Topgolf opens in a community, it changes perceptions and boosts local economies. As Cal Wray, president of the economic development authority in Augusta, Georgia, notes, "It changes the perception of the community." #TopgolfEffect #CommunityGrowth #EconomicDevelopment #Topgolf https://lnkd.in/dZC25itC

It is fascinating to understand the drivers of property performance – it’s such a hugely nuanced and complex topic. That is what makes it so compelling and why long-term, knowledge-driven advice is always required. Our latest Knight Frank Research delves into a fast-growing subsector in real estate…private members clubs. We find that are not simply luxury retreats; these exclusive venues have become a key driver of demand, with properties nearby experiencing faster sales and higher values. Looking ahead, the impact of private members' clubs on real estate development is here to stay. For developers and investors, they represent a unique opportunity, acting as strategic assets that unlock long-term value in both commercial and residential projects. For a deeper dive into the full impact of private members' clubs, explore the latest insights from our Research team Liam Bailey Patrick Gower here: Financial Times readers got a taste this weekend: https://lnkd.in/dnZx8qkA Download the report here: https://lnkd.in/dneS5zWE #PartnersinProperty #PrivateMembersClubs #ResidentialProperty

Keith Prowse launches BEYOND THE GAME Keith Prowse, one of the UK’s award-winning hospitality industry leaders, has launched fresh insights into how lifestyle trends and generational dynamics are reframing premium experiences at UK sport and entertainment events.  The research paper – BEYOND THE GAME – analysed corporate and private clients to understand their motivations in attending a premium experience at sport, entertainment, and lifestyle occasions. With a positive outlook on corporate marketing spends* and disposable income more likely to be spent on experiences rather than material goods, BEYOND THE GAME highlights clear generational differences nuanced by social circles, the culture and heritage of the event, as well as its values and conscientious stance, that are ultimately impacting purchasing and attendance decisions. Samantha Coates, Head of Marketing, Keith Prowse, said: "Analysis of purchasing data revealed shifting trends, prompting us to delve deeper into the factors influencing consumer choices. Research conducted highlighted a significant impact from generational attitudes. Society is moving away from valuing material possessions as a measure of success, and instead placing greater emphasis on personal fulfilment and experiences. This trend presents valuable insights for corporate businesses, who face an increasingly diverse workforce across generations. In response, we’ll be rolling out new concepts designed to address this evolving landscape." * Source: The IPA Bellwether report, April 2024.
