Get Ready for Easter - List Your Hackney Home Today

If you own a property in Hackney or East London, now is the perfect time to prepare for the upcoming Easter season. Easter marks the start of the high season for short-term rentals, driven by half-term holidays, family travel, international visitors, and longer spring breaks.

At Pass the Keys, we consistently see that properties onboarded before Easter achieve stronger occupancy, higher nightly rates, and better long-term performance. With February already here, this is the moment to act — not wait.

Why February is the Smart Time to Onboard Your Hackney Property

Many property owners wait until March or April to think about listings, but by then, a large portion of Easter demand is already booked. Starting your property management onboarding in February allows time to:

• Prepare your property to a high standard
• Create a strong, professional listing
• Optimise pricing ahead of peak demand
• Go live across major booking platforms early

Hackney is one of London’s most desirable short-let locations, known for its creative energy, parks, food scene, and excellent transport links. Properties that are live early attract planners, families, and international guests who book weeks — sometimes months — in advance.

Easter = The Start of High Season in Hackney

Easter is not just another holiday — it’s the gateway to the busiest months of the year. In Hackney and surrounding areas, demand rises due to:

• School half-term and Easter holidays
• Family visits and group travel
• Spring city breaks
• Events, exhibitions, and cultural tourism across London
  
  

Properties in Hackney benefit from proximity to Shoreditch, Dalston, London Fields, Victoria Park, and quick access to Central London. Getting your listing live before Easter helps build early momentum, leading to better visibility, stronger reviews, and repeat bookings throughout spring and summer.

The Advantage of Early Onboarding

When you onboard your property with Pass the Keys before Easter, you position yourself ahead of the competition. Early onboarding helps you:

1. Maximise Easter occupancy – Guests book early to secure the best locations
2. Achieve stronger nightly rates during peak demand
3. Build guest trust with a professionally managed and well-presented property
4. Generate reviews early, boosting performance for the rest of the season
5. Refer a friend and receive £150 cash back once they sign up
   

From experience, properties onboarded before Easter consistently outperform those that go live later in the spring.
