A unit was sold to a buyer and leased straight back under a master lease — letting the operator keep running it as a short-term rental. The first time the structure was put to work for the platform.
A short-term-rental operator wanted to release the capital tied up in a unit without losing the unit from its letting programme. The answer was a sale-and-leaseback: sell the apartment to a buyer, and lease it straight back under a master lease so the operator continues to run it as a short-term rental.
The structure has to do two things at once — give the buyer a clean asset and a dependable return, and give the operator secure, long control of the unit. The master lease is where those two interests are reconciled: term, rent, the operator’s right to sub-let to guests, and what happens at the end.
We designed and documented the structure end to end, as the first instance of a template the platform can repeat across its portfolio.
The sale and the lease-back were executed together, the operator kept the unit in its programme, and the buyer took a let asset with a contracted return — a repeatable structure rather than a one-off.
It now serves as the model for further sale-and-leaseback units across the platform.
