What we do here
Our services in Basford
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.
Basford
The commercial mechanics
Rate-setting is a daily job. Lead time, competing supply, day of week and local demand all pull in different directions, and the gap between an averagely-priced calendar and a well-priced one is not small.
Basford
How the work gets done
Cleaning and linen are scheduled around the calendar rather than a fixed day. A same-day turnaround is routine and it is planned, not improvised.
Basford
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.
Basford
The paperwork that has to be right
Where a council requires planning consent for a particular use, that is a question for the council and not for us to answer on their behalf. We will point an owner at the right place.
Basford
Things we don't do
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.
Basford
The first step
Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

Your Questions
Basford: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Basford?
No. Access is handled with a key safe or a smart lock, and we manage the codes. You do not need to be nearby.
What insurance do I need?
Standard residential landlord insurance does not usually cover short-let use. You will need a policy written for it, and we will tell you what to ask for before we list.
How do you handle check-in?
Self check-in with instructions sent ahead of arrival, and a real person contactable if something goes wrong. It is more reliable than meeting guests at a door at 11pm.
Is there a minimum term?
There is a term in the agreement and it is discussed before signing. We would rather turn down a property than sign someone into something that does not suit them.
