South West
What we do behind the scenes for you.
Bristol's aerospace and tech sectors anchor a strong professional-relocator market, while tourism to Cornwall, Devon, and the Cotswolds creates peak summer demand that few regions can match. GCHQ Cheltenham and the defence supply chain add a steady layer of security-cleared contractor stays throughout the year. The mix of urban business demand and coastal leisure demand makes the region one of the most balanced SA markets in the country.

Local Demand
Moving a Barnstaple property from self-managed to guaranteed rent
Barnstaple owners who've been self-managing a property — whether on traditional AST or in the SA market — usually have an existing tenant or guest book to consider before switching to guaranteed rent. We handle the transition. Existing AST tenants can either be absorbed into the guaranteed-rent term (we take over the landlord side) or given proper notice; existing SA guests transfer cleanly so nobody loses an upcoming booking.
From the owner's perspective the changeover takes around 4-6 weeks for a typical Barnstaple property: a property review, contract signing, takeover of any live commitments, and the first monthly payment landing on the agreed date. After that the property runs on a fixed schedule with no further admin from the owner.

Barnstaple
What drives the number
The figure is fixed for the term, so it has to be built on what the property does in a bad month as well as a good one.
Barnstaple
How it runs day to day
The appraisal is free and carries no obligation. A landlord who walks away after it has cost themselves nothing.
Barnstaple
Is this right for you?
The owners who get most from it are the ones who tell us their constraints early: dates they need, works they will not fund, tenants they will not take. Constraints are easy to design around and awkward to discover.
Barnstaple
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Fire safety equipment is specified by use, not by preference. Getting it wrong is the kind of mistake that only surfaces at the worst moment.
Barnstaple
Where we draw the line
We do not take on property we do not think will work. Turning something down costs us a fee and saves an owner a year of disappointment.
Barnstaple
Getting started
An initial conversation is worth more than a form. Most of what matters — constraints, timing, what the owner actually wants — does not fit in a field.

Your Questions
Barnstaple: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How soon can guaranteed rent start on a Barnstaple property?
Usually within a week or two of agreeing terms, provided the compliance paperwork is in place. Missing certificates are the usual delay.
Is there a fee?
There is no separate management fee under guaranteed rent — our position is the difference between the fixed sum we pay you and what the property earns. That is the model.
What if the property earns more than expected?
We keep the difference; that is the other side of us carrying the void when it earns less. If you want the upside instead, fully managed is the model that gives it to you.
Can I see the agreement first?
Of course, and you should have it looked over. We would rather you read it properly than sign it quickly.
