What we do here
Our services in Charlestown
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.
Charlestown
The commercial mechanics
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.
Charlestown
What to expect once it starts
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.
Charlestown
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
Where a property is genuinely unsuitable, saying so early costs one conversation. Saying so late costs both sides money.
Charlestown
Compliance, plainly
Compliance is not optional and it is not quick to retro-fit. Gas safety, electrical condition, fire equipment and the right insurance all need to be in place before anything goes live, and a missing certificate is the most common cause of a delayed start.
Charlestown
The limits, stated up front
We do not lock owners into terms they have not read. If somebody wants a week to have the agreement looked over, they should take it.
Charlestown
How to begin
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 Charlestown.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How does serviced accommodation management work in Charlestown?
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 Charlestown?
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.
