What we do here
Our services in Copnor
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.
Copnor
What drives the number
Channel mix affects price as much as season does. The same night can be worth different amounts depending on who is booking it and what that channel charges.
Copnor
What to expect once it starts
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.
Copnor
Who gets the most from it
This suits an owner who wants the property to work without becoming a second job. It does not suit someone who wants to approve every booking — that is a different relationship and it does not run well.
Copnor
Certificates, licensing and insurance
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.
Copnor
The limits, stated up front
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.
Copnor
The first step
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.
Your Questions
Straight answers for Copnor owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Copnor?
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.
