What we do here
Our services in Hotwells
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.
Hotwells
The commercial mechanics
Every rate change is a trade between occupancy and yield per night, and the right side of that trade depends on how much of the month is already committed.

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.

Who gets the most from it
Where a property is genuinely unsuitable, saying so early costs one conversation. Saying so late costs both sides money.
Hotwells
The compliance side
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
Hotwells
The limits, stated up front
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Hotwells
Getting started
An owner with several properties should say so early — it usually simplifies things rather than complicating them.

Your Questions
What Hotwells landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How does serviced accommodation management work in Hotwells?
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 Hotwells?
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.
