What we do here
Our services in Chesterton
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.
Chesterton
How we price it
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.

How the work gets done
Onboarding runs in a fixed order: compliance documents checked, the property photographed properly, listings written and published, pricing rules set, then live. Skipping the compliance step is how launches slip by a fortnight.

Who this suits — and who it doesn't
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Chesterton
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.
Chesterton
The limits, stated up front
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.
Chesterton
The first step
Send the property details and any photographs or an online link. That is usually enough for a first view on whether it is worth going further.

Your Questions
Chesterton questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Chesterton property suitable for short lets?
It depends on location, layout, parking and what drives visitors to the area. We appraise before we commit and we will tell you if the answer is no — a property that does not suit short-let demand costs us both money.
What compliance do I need?
Gas safety certificate, electrical installation condition report, PAT testing where relevant, fire safety equipment, and appropriate insurance. Some councils also require planning permission or a licence for short lets — we will point you at your council's current position rather than guess it.
How is pricing set?
Nightly rates move with demand — day of week, season, local events, how far ahead the booking is. Static pricing is the most common reason a short let underperforms.
What if I want to stop?
There is a notice period, set out in the agreement before you sign. We do not lock landlords into terms they did not read.
