Reading October 2026 Meeting
The Capability Gaps Which Separate SA Operators from Their Dream Returns - Samantha & David McHattie
Most Serviced Accommodation operators are working hard at the wrong things. Not because they lack commitment, but because the prevailing information is built around property investment thinking rather than hospitality business thinking. This session draws on over six decades of combined experience across numerous quality hospitality and business environments to identify exactly where the gap opens up, what it costs, and what the operators closing it are doing differently. Among the areas we will cover are:
- One ordinary SA property can deliver more than the UK median salary. The specific variables that forecasting software cannot model — and how professional operators use them to significantly outperform the market prediction
- Why the operator measuring occupancy is optimising for the wrong number and headed for average performance shattering their dreams, and what you should measure instead
- Why 2026 is a good time for SA done right. There are three converging market forces which are excellent news for operators who have built genuine hospitality capability — and what they mean for those who have not
- The Power of Imagery. Why your listing photography is doing more commercial work than your pricing, your amenities and your description combined
ALSO...The Light Bulb Moment - Jeff Topp
Jeff Topp, from pin’s preferred utilities supplier - Full Power Utilities – will be sharing his knowledge and expertise about utility management and helping us to minimise the associated headache and costs.
Normally a substantial running cost for HMO/Serviced Accommodation operators, Jeff will inform you of the different options available to you with regards the procurement and management of your gas and electricity supply.
During his talk, Jeff will cover several topics, including:
- How to minimise/remove the headache associated with managing your (growing) portfolio’s utilities.
- How a commercial utility rate can be secured on a domestic use property (without VAT implications).
- How to protect yourself from inevitable price increases and additional charges.
- How to avoid dealing with the suppliers!
- It’s not just utilities that savings can be found
