How the numbers are worked out

Every rate change is a trade between occupancy and yield per night, and the right side of that trade depends on how much of the month is already committed.

Lower Caversham

What actually happens

Reporting is monthly and it shows the deductions as well as the income. A statement that only shows the good number is not a statement.

Lower Caversham

Who this suits — and who it doesn't

This suits an owner who wants the property to work without becoming a second job. It does not suit someone who wants to approve every booking — that is a different relationship and it does not run well.

Lower Caversham

Compliance, plainly

Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.

Lower Caversham

Things we don't do

We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.

How to begin

Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

How does serviced accommodation management work in Lower Caversham?

We take the property on, furnish and photograph it if it needs it, list it across the major booking channels, and handle pricing, guest vetting, check-ins, cleaning and turnaround. You get a monthly statement. You keep ownership and you keep control of the calendar rules.

Do I need to furnish the property first?

Not necessarily. If it is unfurnished we can arrange furnishing through the suppliers we use, and you approve the spec and the cost before anything is ordered. If it is already furnished we will tell you honestly what needs replacing and what does not.

What happens if the property sits empty?

On our fully managed service you carry the void, which is why we are candid at appraisal about whether a property suits short-let demand at all. If you want the void risk moved off you, that is what our guaranteed rent option is for.

How long does it take to go live in Lower Caversham?

Typically about a week from paperwork to first listing, assuming compliance documents are in place. Gas safety, electrical safety, insurance and any licensing requirement have to be sorted before we can list, and we will tell you what is missing.
