What we do here
Our services in East Ella
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.
East Ella
How the figure is reached
We price against live availability, not against last year's spreadsheet. The market a property competes in changes week to week, and a rate that was right in March is rarely right in October.
East Ella
What to expect once it starts
Reporting is monthly and it shows the deductions as well as the income. A statement that only shows the good number is not a statement.
East Ella
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.
East Ella
The paperwork that has to be right
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
East Ella
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.
East Ella
The first step
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Your Questions
The questions we get most in East Ella.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in East Ella?
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.
