Property services in Portsea, Portsmouth.
About 1 km west of central Portsmouth, Portsea is one of the Hampshire districts we work in.
What we do here
Our services in Portsea
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.
Portsea
How the figure is reached
We price against live availability, not against last year's spreadsheet. The market a property competes in changes week to week, and a rate that was right in March is rarely right in October.

How the work gets done
Photography does more for a listing than almost anything else. A property shot badly gets fewer clicks at the same price, and no amount of rate-tuning recovers that.
Portsea
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Portsea
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.
Portsea
What we won't do
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Portsea
Where to start
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.

Your Questions
Portsea: the practical questions.
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 Portsea?
We work across Portsea 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.
