What we do here
Our services in Barnsbury
Serviced accommodation management
We run the property as a premium short let -- listing, pricing, guests, cleaning and reporting.
Guaranteed rent
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.
Barnsbury
The commercial mechanics
The calendar is managed as a whole rather than booking by booking. Accepting a cheap long stay over a bank holiday can cost more than the empty night it prevented.
Barnsbury
How the work gets done
Owner blocks go in the calendar as far ahead as possible, because a date held in advance costs nothing and a date held late costs a booking.
Barnsbury
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
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.
Barnsbury
The compliance side
Licensing and planning requirements vary by council and they change. We check the current position for the relevant authority rather than assume a rule that was true somewhere else.
Barnsbury
Where we draw the line
We do not present an estimate as a measurement. Where a figure is an estimate, it is labelled as one.
Barnsbury
Getting started
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Your Questions
Barnsbury questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Can you manage more than one Barnsbury property?
Yes. Portfolio owners are a large part of what we do, and reporting is consolidated rather than one statement per unit.
Do you handle maintenance?
We triage and arrange it through vetted trades. We are not a building contractor — we make introductions to the trades we use and the work is between you and them, priced before it starts.
How quickly do you respond to guests?
Guest messages are handled throughout the day, every day. Response speed is a ranking factor on most channels, so it is in our interest as much as yours.
What sort of property works best?
Well-located two and three bedroom properties with parking tend to work hardest, but the honest answer is that it varies by area and we would rather appraise than generalise.
