Kings Heath

How we price it

The calendar is managed as a whole rather than booking by booking. Accepting a cheap long stay over a bank holiday can cost more than the empty night it prevented.

Kings Heath

How it runs day to day

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.

Kings Heath

Who this suits — and who it doesn't

Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.

Kings Heath

The compliance side

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.

Kings Heath

Things we don't do

We are not a building contractor. Where work is needed we introduce the trades we use, and the contract for that work sits between the owner and the trade, priced before it starts.

Where to start

The quickest starts are the ones where compliance paperwork is already to hand. It is worth gathering it before getting in touch.

Your Questions

What Kings Heath landlords ask us.

Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.

Is my Kings Heath 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.
