What we do here
Our services in Heathcote
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.
Heathcote
How the figure is reached
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.
Heathcote
How it runs day to day
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.
Heathcote
Who gets the most from it
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.
Heathcote
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Compliance is not optional and it is not quick to retro-fit. Gas safety, electrical condition, fire equipment and the right insurance all need to be in place before anything goes live, and a missing certificate is the most common cause of a delayed start.
Heathcote
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We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property.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.
Heathcote
The first step
The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.

Your Questions
Straight answers for Heathcote owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How does serviced accommodation management work in Heathcote?
We take the property on, furnish and photograph it if it needs it, list it across the major booking channels, and handle pricing, guest vetting, check-ins, cleaning and turnaround. You get a monthly statement. You keep ownership and you keep control of the calendar rules.
Do I need to furnish the property first?
Not necessarily. If it is unfurnished we can arrange furnishing through the suppliers we use, and you approve the spec and the cost before anything is ordered. If it is already furnished we will tell you honestly what needs replacing and what does not.
What happens if the property sits empty?
On our fully managed service you carry the void, which is why we are candid at appraisal about whether a property suits short-let demand at all. If you want the void risk moved off you, that is what our guaranteed rent option is for.
How long does it take to go live in Heathcote?
Typically about a week from paperwork to first listing, assuming compliance documents are in place. Gas safety, electrical safety, insurance and any licensing requirement have to be sorted before we can list, and we will tell you what is missing.
