Property services in Newtown, Portsmouth.
About 3 km west of central Portsmouth, Newtown is one of the Hampshire districts we work in.
What we do here
Our services in Newtown
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.
Newtown
How we price it
Pricing decisions are made against what the property can actually command, not against a target somebody would like it to hit. Aspirational pricing produces empty nights, not better ones.
Newtown
What to expect once it starts
Guest messages get answered quickly because response time affects placement on most channels. It is a ranking factor, not just good manners.
Newtown
Is this right for you?
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.
Newtown
Certificates, licensing and insurance
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
Newtown
The limits, stated up front
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property.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.
Newtown
The first step
Send the property details and any photographs or an online link. That is usually enough for a first view on whether it is worth going further.

Your Questions
Newtown: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Newtown property suitable for short lets?
It depends on location, layout, parking and what drives visitors to the area. We appraise before we commit and we will tell you if the answer is no — a property that does not suit short-let demand costs us both money.
What compliance do I need?
Gas safety certificate, electrical installation condition report, PAT testing where relevant, fire safety equipment, and appropriate insurance. Some councils also require planning permission or a licence for short lets — we will point you at your council's current position rather than guess it.
How is pricing set?
Nightly rates move with demand — day of week, season, local events, how far ahead the booking is. Static pricing is the most common reason a short let underperforms.
What if I want to stop?
There is a notice period, set out in the agreement before you sign. We do not lock landlords into terms they did not read.
