What we do here
Our services in Freemantle
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.
Freemantle
How we price it
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.
Freemantle
What to expect once it starts
Owner blocks go in the calendar as far ahead as possible, because a date held in advance costs nothing and a date held late costs a booking.
Freemantle
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
The owners who get most from it are the ones who tell us their constraints early: dates they need, works they will not fund, tenants they will not take. Constraints are easy to design around and awkward to discover.
Freemantle
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Fire safety equipment is specified by use, not by preference. Getting it wrong is the kind of mistake that only surfaces at the worst moment.
Freemantle
Things we don't do
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.
Freemantle
Where to start
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
Freemantle questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Freemantle?
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.
