Our services in Acocks Green

A fixed monthly figure whether the property is occupied or not, with the void risk on us.
Sell a property that needs work
Tired, unmodernised or inherited property bought as it stands, with no agent fees.
Property investment and sourcing
Off-market stock that needs work, matched to budget, area and appetite for works.

What drives the number
Channel mix affects price as much as season does. The same night can be worth different amounts depending on who is booking it and what that channel charges.
Acocks Green
The process, step by step
Compliance comes first because it has to: gas, electrical, fire equipment and the right insurance. A listing that goes live without them is a liability, not a head start.
Acocks Green
Who gets the most from it
This suits an owner who wants the property to work without becoming a second job. It does not suit someone who wants to approve every booking — that is a different relationship and it does not run well.

The paperwork that has to be right
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.
Acocks Green
The limits, stated up front
We do not lock owners into terms they have not read. If somebody wants a week to have the agreement looked over, they should take it.

Where to start
Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How does serviced accommodation management work in Acocks Green?
We take the property on, furnish and photograph it if it needs it, list it across the major booking channels, and handle pricing, guest vetting, check-ins, cleaning and turnaround. You get a monthly statement. You keep ownership and you keep control of the calendar rules.
Do I need to furnish the property first?
Not necessarily. If it is unfurnished we can arrange furnishing through the suppliers we use, and you approve the spec and the cost before anything is ordered. If it is already furnished we will tell you honestly what needs replacing and what does not.
What happens if the property sits empty?
On our fully managed service you carry the void, which is why we are candid at appraisal about whether a property suits short-let demand at all. If you want the void risk moved off you, that is what our guaranteed rent option is for.
How long does it take to go live in Acocks Green?
Typically about a week from paperwork to first listing, assuming compliance documents are in place. Gas safety, electrical safety, insurance and any licensing requirement have to be sorted before we can list, and we will tell you what is missing.
