What we do here
Our services in Paddington
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.
Paddington
How we price it
The calendar is managed as a whole rather than booking by booking. Accepting a cheap long stay over a bank holiday can cost more than the empty night it prevented.
Paddington
How it runs day to day
Guest messages get answered quickly because response time affects placement on most channels. It is a ranking factor, not just good manners.
Paddington
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Paddington
The compliance side
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
Paddington
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.
Paddington
Where to start
The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.

Your Questions
What Paddington landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is the difference between fully managed and guaranteed rent?
Fully managed means you keep the upside and carry the voids; we take a percentage of what the property earns. Guaranteed rent means we pay you a fixed sum every month whether it is booked or not, and we carry the voids. One trades certainty for ceiling.
Do you cover the whole of Paddington?
We work across Paddington and the surrounding area. Whether a specific street suits short-let demand is a different question from whether we cover it, and the appraisal answers that one.
Who pays for cleaning and linen?
Cleaning is charged to the guest as a fee where the channel allows it. Anything not covered that way is set out in the agreement so there are no surprises on the statement.
What reporting do I get?
A monthly statement showing bookings, income, deductions and works. If you want to see the underlying calendar, ask and we will show you.
