What we do here
Our services in New Botley
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.

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.
New Botley
How it runs day to day
Photography does more for a listing than almost anything else. A property shot badly gets fewer clicks at the same price, and no amount of rate-tuning recovers that.

Is this right for you?
Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.
New Botley
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.

Things we don't do
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
New Botley
Getting started
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Your Questions
The questions we get most in New Botley.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How does serviced accommodation management work in New Botley?
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 New Botley?
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.
