What we do here
Our services in Old Trafford
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 figure is reached
Every rate change is a trade between occupancy and yield per night, and the right side of that trade depends on how much of the month is already committed.

How the work gets done
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.

Where this fits, and where it doesn't
This suits an owner who wants the property to work without becoming a second job. It does not suit someone who wants to approve every booking — that is a different relationship and it does not run well.

The compliance side
Compliance is not optional and it is not quick to retro-fit. Gas safety, electrical condition, fire equipment and the right insurance all need to be in place before anything goes live, and a missing certificate is the most common cause of a delayed start.

Things we don't do
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.

Getting started
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
Straight answers for Old Trafford owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Old Trafford 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.
