What we do here
Our services in King's Heath
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.
King's Heath
How the figure is reached
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.
King's Heath
What actually happens
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.
King's Heath
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
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.
King's Heath
The paperwork that has to be right
Licensing and planning requirements vary by council and they change. We check the current position for the relevant authority rather than assume a rule that was true somewhere else.
King's Heath
Where we draw the line
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property.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.
King's Heath
Where to start
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Your Questions
What King's Heath landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my King's 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.
