What we do here
Our services in Cannon Hill
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.
Cannon Hill
How the figure is reached
Pricing is reviewed continuously rather than monthly. A midweek gap three weeks out is a different commercial problem from a Saturday gap three days out, and they get different answers.
Cannon Hill
What to expect once it starts
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.
Cannon Hill
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Cannon Hill
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Fire safety equipment is specified by use, not by preference. Getting it wrong is the kind of mistake that only surfaces at the worst moment.
Cannon Hill
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.
Cannon Hill
Getting started
Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

Your Questions
Cannon Hill: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How does serviced accommodation management work in Cannon Hill?
We take the property on, furnish and photograph it if it needs it, list it across the major booking channels, and handle pricing, guest vetting, check-ins, cleaning and turnaround. You get a monthly statement. You keep ownership and you keep control of the calendar rules.
Do I need to furnish the property first?
Not necessarily. If it is unfurnished we can arrange furnishing through the suppliers we use, and you approve the spec and the cost before anything is ordered. If it is already furnished we will tell you honestly what needs replacing and what does not.
What happens if the property sits empty?
On our fully managed service you carry the void, which is why we are candid at appraisal about whether a property suits short-let demand at all. If you want the void risk moved off you, that is what our guaranteed rent option is for.
How long does it take to go live in Cannon Hill?
Typically about a week from paperwork to first listing, assuming compliance documents are in place. Gas safety, electrical safety, insurance and any licensing requirement have to be sorted before we can list, and we will tell you what is missing.
