What we do here
Our services in Merry Hill
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.
Merry Hill
How the numbers are worked out
We price against live availability, not against last year's spreadsheet. The market a property competes in changes week to week, and a rate that was right in March is rarely right in October.
Merry Hill
The process, step by step
The first month is the noisiest. Rates are being calibrated against real booking behaviour rather than an estimate, and that is when the calendar tells you what the property is actually worth.
Merry Hill
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
It suits someone who values a predictable outcome over an occasional excellent month. If the excellent month is the point, a different model fits better.
Merry Hill
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Merry Hill
The limits, stated up front
We do not market a property an owner has asked us to keep private. Confidentiality is not a premium service.
Merry Hill
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 Merry Hill owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Merry Hill?
No. Access is handled with a key safe or a smart lock, and we manage the codes. You do not need to be nearby.
What insurance do I need?
Standard residential landlord insurance does not usually cover short-let use. You will need a policy written for it, and we will tell you what to ask for before we list.
How do you handle check-in?
Self check-in with instructions sent ahead of arrival, and a real person contactable if something goes wrong. It is more reliable than meeting guests at a door at 11pm.
Is there a minimum term?
There is a term in the agreement and it is discussed before signing. We would rather turn down a property than sign someone into something that does not suit them.
