What we do here
Our services in Mount Wise
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.
Mount Wise
What drives the number
The calendar is managed as a whole rather than booking by booking. Accepting a cheap long stay over a bank holiday can cost more than the empty night it prevented.
Mount Wise
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.
Mount Wise
Who gets the most from it
An owner who has been let down before usually wants to know what happens when something goes wrong rather than what happens when it goes right. That is the correct question to ask.
Mount Wise
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.
Mount Wise
What we won't do
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property.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.
Mount Wise
Getting started
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.

Your Questions
Straight answers for Mount Wise owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Mount Wise?
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.
