What we do here
Our services in Blackweir
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.
Blackweir
How the figure is reached
We would rather hold a rate and lose a night than discount into a weekend that was always going to fill. Which of those applies is a judgement made on live data, not a rule.

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.

Who gets the most from it
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.
Blackweir
Compliance, plainly
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.
Blackweir
Where we draw the line
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property.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.

Where to start
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Your Questions
What people ask before starting in Blackweir.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is the difference between fully managed and guaranteed rent?
Fully managed means you keep the upside and carry the voids; we take a percentage of what the property earns. Guaranteed rent means we pay you a fixed sum every month whether it is booked or not, and we carry the voids. One trades certainty for ceiling.
Do you cover the whole of Blackweir?
We work across Blackweir and the surrounding area. Whether a specific street suits short-let demand is a different question from whether we cover it, and the appraisal answers that one.
Who pays for cleaning and linen?
Cleaning is charged to the guest as a fee where the channel allows it. Anything not covered that way is set out in the agreement so there are no surprises on the statement.
What reporting do I get?
A monthly statement showing bookings, income, deductions and works. If you want to see the underlying calendar, ask and we will show you.
