What we do here
Our services in Fratton
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.

How the numbers are worked out
Minimum-stay rules, gap-filling and last-minute pricing are separate levers and they get pulled separately. Treating them as one setting is how calendars end up full and unprofitable.

How the work gets done
Guest messages get answered quickly because response time affects placement on most channels. It is a ranking factor, not just good manners.
Fratton
Is this right for you?
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.
Fratton
Compliance, plainly
Licensing and planning requirements vary by council and they change. We check the current position for the relevant authority rather than assume a rule that was true somewhere else.
Fratton
What we won't do
We do not present an estimate as a measurement. Where a figure is an estimate, it is labelled as one.
Fratton
Getting started
We would rather spend longer on the first conversation and less on fixing a misunderstanding later.

Your Questions
What Fratton landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Fratton 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.
