What we do here
Our services in Ilford
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.
Ilford
How the figure is reached
We price against live availability, not against last year's spreadsheet. The market a property competes in changes week to week, and a rate that was right in March is rarely right in October.
Ilford
How it runs day to day
Compliance comes first because it has to: gas, electrical, fire equipment and the right insurance. A listing that goes live without them is a liability, not a head start.
Ilford
Who gets the most from it
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.
Ilford
The paperwork that has to be right
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Ilford
Things we don't do
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Ilford
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
What Ilford landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Ilford?
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.
