What we do here
Our services in Kingston
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.
Kingston
The commercial mechanics
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.
Kingston
The process, step by step
Cleaning and linen are scheduled around the calendar rather than a fixed day. A same-day turnaround is routine and it is planned, not improvised.
Kingston
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Kingston
The compliance side
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Kingston
Where we draw the line
We do not present an estimate as a measurement. Where a figure is an estimate, it is labelled as one.
Kingston
Getting started
Getting in touch costs nothing and commits to nothing. That is not a sales line; it is how the process is set up.

Your Questions
Kingston: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Kingston 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.
