What we do here
Our services in Rotton Park
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
Pricing decisions are made against what the property can actually command, not against a target somebody would like it to hit. Aspirational pricing produces empty nights, not better ones.
Rotton Park
What actually happens
Listings are reviewed rather than written once. What a property competes against changes, and copy that worked at launch is not automatically working a year later.
Rotton Park
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
The owners who get most from it are the ones who tell us their constraints early: dates they need, works they will not fund, tenants they will not take. Constraints are easy to design around and awkward to discover.

The paperwork that has to be right
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.
Rotton Park
Things we don'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.
Rotton Park
Getting started
An owner with several properties should say so early — it usually simplifies things rather than complicating them.

Your Questions
The questions we get most in Rotton Park.
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 Rotton Park?
We work across Rotton Park 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.
