Shared & rental living operations benchmarks
Operational benchmarks for coliving, BTR, PBSA, HMO, and flex-living operators, aggregated from real deployments and public market data. Use them to sanity-check your own numbers.
Average void period (coliving)
Time a bed sits empty between residents. Strong operators with waitlists run under 10 days.
Direct booking share (established coliving brands)
In mature markets like London and Berlin, direct bookings often exceed half of move-ins.
BTR average tenancy length
Roughly double the ~12 months of traditional rental, when community programming is operating at quality.
Typical coliving move-in onboarding time (manual)
Operators on spreadsheets; software-led onboarding cuts this to hours.
Scale at which spreadsheets break
The point where per-bed tracking, billing, and reporting stop being manageable manually.
Number of vendors a typical operator runs
PMS, channel manager, access control, owner portal, community app, accounting, and more.
Custom build timeline (in-house)
Plus ongoing maintenance burden. The main reason operators choose configurable platforms.
Configurable-platform deployment timeline
Standard configured deployment; multi-country compliance can extend to ~45 days.
PBSA September intake concentration
The bulk of an academic year's move-ins compressed into a single fortnight.
UK BTR units delivered or in pipeline
Concentrated in London, Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham (industry estimates).
Real PMS total cost of ownership vs headline
After licences, transaction fees, implementation, integrations, and internal time, real TCO routinely exceeds the headline price several times over.
Payment-rail transaction fees
Varies by rail (SEPA/GoCardless lower, card higher) and geography.
Figures are aggregated ranges from JumboTiger deployments and public industry sources, intended as directional benchmarks rather than precise statistics. For methodology or to contribute data, see our buyer's guide.
