Testimonial From Property Owner
“This letter serves to confirm the consistent and stellar service received from both Ushir Shah as well as his property management company Pahlavi Properties.
I have four properties that I own and that Ushir and his team set up for me from scratch (including selection and purchasing of furnishings, photography, renovations etc) and have listed on various short term letting platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com.
I have been dealing with Ushir for over two and a half years now and he has never let me down and I have always found him to be extremely honest and trustworthy and transparent in all his dealings with me. I genuinely have no complaints and we are still doing business together for my units all this time later. The properties are running fantastically with great guest reviews on all platforms and our occupancy rate is over 85% with a great monthly total revenue and nightly average rate. The attention to detail, guest relations and response times on any queries is excellent. I don’t need to get operationally involved whatsoever.
I highly recommend Ushir and Pahlavi Properties as a property and short term letting agency.”

Why Host With Pahlavi Properties
Here's What Sets Us Apart
High Occupancy Rates
While some companies may charge a lower commission and achieve only 50% occupancy, we charge 30% and maintain around 90% occupancy across our portfolio.
Longer Bookings
Our strategy includes securing longer cope rate bookings as well, which yield similar returns, even 3-month bookings, reducing turnover and maintenance while ensuring steady income.
Guest Quality Control
We enforce a minimum four-night stay on Airbnb and Booking.com to discourage short, party-style bookings, in building sensitive to noise disturbances. Booking.com guests are screened more thoroughly, and we collect a security deposit for added protection. We also work hard to avoid fines and disturbances by complying with all body corporate rules and making guests aware of these.
Dynamic Pricing Strategy
We use specialized software that adjusts nightly rates based on demand to ensure your revenue is maximized. Weekdays, weekends, and peak periods are all priced dynamically. We also have a host of other techniques to maximize occupancy. It’s also about getting the highest nightly rate you can achieve. So it’s striking that balance.
Maximising pricing on peak moments in Umhlanga
There are times software doesn’t understand the dynamics of how Umhlanga can get sold out a few days before the comrades, the July weekend or other big events in Durban. We are able to based on our experience be prepared to wait for last-minute bookings to maximise your return. It depends on your appetite for risk. December also has to be played out well. In some instances, getting bookings 2 months or more with a no-refund policy can also mean higher returns.
Multi-Platform Exposure
In addition to Airbnb and Booking.com, have begun networking with corporate clients to secure long-term executive stays.
