What we do here
Our services in Pontcanna
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 numbers are worked out
We would rather hold a rate and lose a night than discount into a weekend that was always going to fill. Which of those applies is a judgement made on live data, not a rule.

How the work gets done
Owner blocks go in the calendar as far ahead as possible, because a date held in advance costs nothing and a date held late costs a booking.

Who this suits — and who it doesn't
Where a property is genuinely unsuitable, saying so early costs one conversation. Saying so late costs both sides money.

The paperwork that has to be right
Licensing and planning requirements vary by council and they change. We check the current position for the relevant authority rather than assume a rule that was true somewhere else.
Pontcanna
What we won't do
We do not advise on finance or tax. Those are jobs for a broker and an accountant, and we will say so rather than improvise.
Pontcanna
Getting started
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 Pontcanna landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Can you manage more than one Pontcanna property?
Yes. Portfolio owners are a large part of what we do, and reporting is consolidated rather than one statement per unit.
Do you handle maintenance?
We triage and arrange it through vetted trades. We are not a building contractor — we make introductions to the trades we use and the work is between you and them, priced before it starts.
How quickly do you respond to guests?
Guest messages are handled throughout the day, every day. Response speed is a ranking factor on most channels, so it is in our interest as much as yours.
What sort of property works best?
Well-located two and three bedroom properties with parking tend to work hardest, but the honest answer is that it varies by area and we would rather appraise than generalise.
