What we do here
Our services in Ely
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.
Ely
How the numbers are worked out
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.
Ely
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.
Ely
Who gets the most from it
Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.
Ely
The paperwork that has to be right
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Ely
What we won't do
We are not a building contractor. Where work is needed we introduce the trades we use, and the contract for that work sits between the owner and the trade, priced before it starts.
Ely
Where to start
An owner with several properties should say so early — it usually simplifies things rather than complicating them.

Your Questions
What people ask before starting in Ely.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is the first step for an Ely landlord?
A free appraisal. We look at the property, the location and the local demand picture, and give you a straight answer on whether short-let management or guaranteed rent makes sense — including when it does not.
Do you charge for the appraisal?
No. There is no fee and no obligation.
How is my income paid?
Monthly, with a statement showing what was earned and what was deducted.
What if my property needs work first?
We will say so. If the work is worth doing we can introduce you to the trades we use; if the property would be better sold as-is, we will say that too.
