What we do here
Our services in Roath
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.
Roath
How we price it
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.
Roath
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.
Roath
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.
Roath
The paperwork that has to be right
Where a council requires planning consent for a particular use, that is a question for the council and not for us to answer on their behalf. We will point an owner at the right place.
Roath
Where we draw the line
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Roath
The first step
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Your Questions
What Roath landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How does serviced accommodation management work in Roath?
We take the property on, furnish and photograph it if it needs it, list it across the major booking channels, and handle pricing, guest vetting, check-ins, cleaning and turnaround. You get a monthly statement. You keep ownership and you keep control of the calendar rules.
Do I need to furnish the property first?
Not necessarily. If it is unfurnished we can arrange furnishing through the suppliers we use, and you approve the spec and the cost before anything is ordered. If it is already furnished we will tell you honestly what needs replacing and what does not.
What happens if the property sits empty?
On our fully managed service you carry the void, which is why we are candid at appraisal about whether a property suits short-let demand at all. If you want the void risk moved off you, that is what our guaranteed rent option is for.
How long does it take to go live in Roath?
Typically about a week from paperwork to first listing, assuming compliance documents are in place. Gas safety, electrical safety, insurance and any licensing requirement have to be sorted before we can list, and we will tell you what is missing.
