Who we are looking for
You do not need one specific job title or career background.
We are interested in commercially minded people who combine strong relationship-building skills with credible access to the London property market.
What matters is your ability to communicate professionally, understand the local market, develop relationships and recognise when an opportunity could be relevant to MadeStays.
- Estate agency and lettings
- Property management
- Property sourcing
- Hospitality and serviced accommodation
- Relocation
- Freelance or commission-based business development
- Commercial roles involving landlords, property owners, operators or professional advisers
How the Acquisition Partner Programme works
01
Identify suitable opportunities
Use your local knowledge and professional relationships to identify property owners, operators or relevant opportunities that could be suitable for MadeStays.
02
Develop the relationship
A strong opportunity is more than a property link. Understand the owner or operator, establish genuine interest and provide enough context for MadeStays to assess the opportunity.
03
Submit the opportunity
Use the MadeStays process and systems to submit relevant information and ensure the opportunity is correctly attributed to you.
04
MadeStays takes the opportunity forward
MadeStays handles qualification, property assessment and final commercial decisions. Acquisition Partners do not approve properties or bind MadeStays to commercial terms.
The London opportunity
London is at the centre of the MadeStays portfolio, and we are actively building our Acquisition Partner network across Greater London, with particular priority given to Zones 1–3.
For the right candidate, existing relationships with landlords, property owners, operators, agents and other property professionals can provide a strong foundation for identifying credible new opportunities.
The focus is not simply on generating lead volume. It is on recognising relevant opportunities and developing the relationship professionally enough for MadeStays to assess it.
