What we do here
Our services in Bensham
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.
Bensham
How we price it
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.
Bensham
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.
Bensham
Who gets the most from it
Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.
Bensham
The paperwork that has to be right
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Bensham
What we won't do
We do not market a property an owner has asked us to keep private. Confidentiality is not a premium service.
Bensham
Where to start
Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

Your Questions
Straight answers for Bensham owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Can you manage more than one Bensham 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.
