What we do here
Our services in Cathays
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.
Cathays
How the numbers are worked out
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.
Cathays
The process, step by step
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.
Cathays
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
The owners who get most from it are the ones who tell us their constraints early: dates they need, works they will not fund, tenants they will not take. Constraints are easy to design around and awkward to discover.
Cathays
Certificates, licensing and insurance
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
Cathays
What we won't do
We do not advise on finance or tax. Those are jobs for a broker and an accountant, and we will say so rather than improvise.
Cathays
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
Cathays questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Cathays?
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.
