What we do here
Our services in Bournbrook
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.
Bournbrook
What drives the number
Pricing decisions are made against what the property can actually command, not against a target somebody would like it to hit. Aspirational pricing produces empty nights, not better ones.
Bournbrook
What actually happens
Photography does more for a listing than almost anything else. A property shot badly gets fewer clicks at the same price, and no amount of rate-tuning recovers that.
Bournbrook
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.
Bournbrook
Compliance, plainly
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.
Bournbrook
Things we don't do
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Bournbrook
Getting started
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.

Your Questions
What Bournbrook landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Bournbrook?
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.
