What's Included - FurtherSpace

We believe amazing should be open to everyone

WE INVEST IN PEOPLE AND PLACES TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE ECO-FRIENDLY TOURISM BUSINESS.

What makes us distinct, is how our partnerships are carried out with direct investment in the pod sites on the ground as well as the admin, marketing and customer services side.

We are not a franchise, we invest our own time, money and sweat into these ‘micro-tourism’ partnerships, that not only make for unique customers experiences, but allow smaller landowners to diversify their land, support their families and local area.

The key areas of support included in our partnership are:
1. Luxury Pod Accommodation
2. Planning & Site Design Services
3. Web Listing & Online Booking System
4. Marketing & Advertising Support
5. Customer Reservation Support
6. Host Training & Finance Admin

Our Pod
We support our hosts with anywhere from 3 to 6 luxury pods on site, depending on the size of the site and the demand in the area. Check out the section detailing the pod spec.

Retail Value
Pods retail at £37,000.
We fund and deploy our pods to your site, ensuring maintenance thereafter.

Planning & Site Design
As well as business and marketing support once you are up and running, we also help you manage the planning stage.

We provide information on funding opportunities, plus we have an in-house planning and design architect that can help with the planning submission and design of your site.

Architectural and Planning Support - You can of course use your own Architect and support network, but for those who require assistance we provide support to this or the full package: In-house Services Design & layout of site Co-ordination of planning pack for planning submission (maps, design, access statement, & consultation reports required). We also support you in the application/planning process, feasibility of the site and project planning.

Planning permission is a legal requirement for all ‘holiday parks’ in the UK and Ireland. We’re happy to support you at planning meetings.

What do I have to do?
You will complete the planning application and the site works before the pods are installed. This includes getting water and electric to the site and having a waste removal system. It will also require landscaping – pathways and car parking, for example.
As the site owner, it’s up to you to fund and carry out this work to get the site ready.

How much will that cost?
The cost of the planning application and site works will depend on your site. We will be able to provide some guidance on this when we visit you.

Partner with a friendly multi-skilled team with experience spanning financial, planning, architectural, manufacture, marketing and customer support services.

What Could I Earn?
To work this out, we have to apply a couple of baseline figures.
Let’s assume a 50% occupancy rate at £100 per night per pod.
We call this our base case.
Up to 25% of the income is set aside for your day-to-day management of the pods such as cleaning and to cover any potential booking costs if agents like Booking.com are used.
From the remaining 75%, we get a fee for the pods, you get a fee for land rental, and we split whatever is left equally.
Over 10 years, you could earn in the region of £140,000 on a 3-pod site at the base case.
This rise to £320,000 on a 75% occupancy at £125 per night.
