What we do here
Our services in Sharmans Cross
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.

What drives the number
Rate-setting is a daily job. Lead time, competing supply, day of week and local demand all pull in different directions, and the gap between an averagely-priced calendar and a well-priced one is not small.
Sharmans Cross
How it runs day to day
Compliance comes first because it has to: gas, electrical, fire equipment and the right insurance. A listing that goes live without them is a liability, not a head start.
Sharmans Cross
Is this right for you?
It suits someone who values a predictable outcome over an occasional excellent month. If the excellent month is the point, a different model fits better.
Sharmans Cross
Compliance, plainly
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Sharmans Cross
What we won't do
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.

Getting started
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.

Your Questions
Sharmans Cross: 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 Sharmans Cross?
We work across Sharmans Cross 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.
