What we do here
Our services in Blackdown
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.
Blackdown
The commercial mechanics
We price against live availability, not against last year's spreadsheet. The market a property competes in changes week to week, and a rate that was right in March is rarely right in October.
Blackdown
The process, step by step
Maintenance is triaged rather than escalated. Most issues are small; the skill is knowing which ones are not and dealing with those before a guest is affected.
Blackdown
Is this right for you?
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.
Blackdown
The compliance side
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
Blackdown
Things we don't do
We do not take on property we do not think will work. Turning something down costs us a fee and saves an owner a year of disappointment.
Blackdown
The first step
The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.

Your Questions
Straight answers for Blackdown owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is the first step for a Blackdown landlord?
A free appraisal. We look at the property, the location and the local demand picture, and give you a straight answer on whether short-let management or guaranteed rent makes sense — including when it does not.
Do you charge for the appraisal?
No. There is no fee and no obligation.
How is my income paid?
Monthly, with a statement showing what was earned and what was deducted.
What if my property needs work first?
We will say so. If the work is worth doing we can introduce you to the trades we use; if the property would be better sold as-is, we will say that too.
