Tired, unmodernised or inherited property bought as it stands, with no agent fees.
Property investment and sourcing

Black Patch
The commercial mechanics
Nightly rates are not set once and left. They move with the day of the week, the season, how far ahead the booking sits and what else is available nearby at that moment. A static rate is the single most common reason a short let underperforms its potential.
Black Patch
The process, step by step
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.
Black Patch
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.
Black Patch
The paperwork that has to be right
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.
Black Patch
Things we don't do
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.
Black Patch
How to begin
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
Straight answers for Black Patch owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Black Patch property suitable for short lets?
It depends on location, layout, parking and what drives visitors to the area. We appraise before we commit and we will tell you if the answer is no — a property that does not suit short-let demand costs us both money.
What compliance do I need?
Gas safety certificate, electrical installation condition report, PAT testing where relevant, fire safety equipment, and appropriate insurance. Some councils also require planning permission or a licence for short lets — we will point you at your council's current position rather than guess it.
How is pricing set?
Nightly rates move with demand — day of week, season, local events, how far ahead the booking is. Static pricing is the most common reason a short let underperforms.
What if I want to stop?
There is a notice period, set out in the agreement before you sign. We do not lock landlords into terms they did not read.
