What we do here
Our services in Lee Bank
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.
Lee Bank
How we price it
Rate-setting is a daily job. Lead time, competing supply, day of week and local demand all pull in different directions, and the gap between an averagely-priced calendar and a well-priced one is not small.
Lee Bank
What actually happens
Guest messages get answered quickly because response time affects placement on most channels. It is a ranking factor, not just good manners.
Lee Bank
Who gets the most from it
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.
Lee Bank
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.
Lee Bank
The limits, stated up front
We do not guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.
Lee Bank
Where to start
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Your Questions
Straight answers for Lee Bank owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is the difference between fully managed and guaranteed rent?
Fully managed means you keep the upside and carry the voids; we take a percentage of what the property earns. Guaranteed rent means we pay you a fixed sum every month whether it is booked or not, and we carry the voids. One trades certainty for ceiling.
Do you cover the whole of Lee Bank?
We work across Lee Bank and the surrounding area. Whether a specific street suits short-let demand is a different question from whether we cover it, and the appraisal answers that one.
Who pays for cleaning and linen?
Cleaning is charged to the guest as a fee where the channel allows it. Anything not covered that way is set out in the agreement so there are no surprises on the statement.
What reporting do I get?
A monthly statement showing bookings, income, deductions and works. If you want to see the underlying calendar, ask and we will show you.
