Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
No independent short-term-rental listing for this specific building was found during research, which is not unusual for a development that only completed in 2024, both the resale and STR markets typically take time to mature after handover. Kensington Waters' freehold status and studio-to-three-bedroom unit mix put it squarely within the kind of property Royale Stays' Airbnb management services are built for: furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, all handled from a management fee starting at 15%.
