What we do here
Our services in Openshaw
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.
Openshaw
What drives the number
Pricing is reviewed continuously rather than monthly. A midweek gap three weeks out is a different commercial problem from a Saturday gap three days out, and they get different answers.
Openshaw
What to expect once it starts
Reporting is monthly and it shows the deductions as well as the income. A statement that only shows the good number is not a statement.
Openshaw
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Openshaw
The paperwork that has to be right
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.
Openshaw
The limits, stated up front
We do not guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.
Openshaw
How to begin
The quickest starts are the ones where compliance paperwork is already to hand. It is worth gathering it before getting in touch.

Your Questions
The questions we get most in Openshaw.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Openshaw?
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.
