What we do here
Our services in Highgate
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.
Highgate
What drives the number
Pricing decisions are made against what the property can actually command, not against a target somebody would like it to hit. Aspirational pricing produces empty nights, not better ones.
Highgate
The process, step by step
Photography does more for a listing than almost anything else. A property shot badly gets fewer clicks at the same price, and no amount of rate-tuning recovers that.
Highgate
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
An owner who has been let down before usually wants to know what happens when something goes wrong rather than what happens when it goes right. That is the correct question to ask.
Highgate
The compliance side
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Highgate
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.
Highgate
How to begin
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
Before you get in touch — Highgate.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Highgate 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.
