What we do here
Our services in Northam
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.
Northam
What drives the number
Minimum-stay rules, gap-filling and last-minute pricing are separate levers and they get pulled separately. Treating them as one setting is how calendars end up full and unprofitable.
Northam
What actually happens
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.
Northam
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.
Northam
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.
Northam
The limits, stated up front
We do not lock owners into terms they have not read. If somebody wants a week to have the agreement looked over, they should take it.
Northam
Getting started
Getting in touch costs nothing and commits to nothing. That is not a sales line; it is how the process is set up.

Your Questions
Northam questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Northam 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.
