What we do here
Our services in Shipcote
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.
Shipcote
How it runs day to day
Maintenance is triaged rather than escalated. Most issues are small; the skill is knowing which ones are not and dealing with those before a guest is affected.
Shipcote
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.
Shipcote
The compliance side
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Shipcote
What we won't do
We do not market a property an owner has asked us to keep private. Confidentiality is not a premium service.
Shipcote
How to begin
We would rather spend longer on the first conversation and less on fixing a misunderstanding later.

Your Questions
What people ask before starting in Shipcote.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Shipcote?
No. Access is handled with a key safe or a smart lock, and we manage the codes. You do not need to be nearby.
What insurance do I need?
Standard residential landlord insurance does not usually cover short-let use. You will need a policy written for it, and we will tell you what to ask for before we list.
How do you handle check-in?
Self check-in with instructions sent ahead of arrival, and a real person contactable if something goes wrong. It is more reliable than meeting guests at a door at 11pm.
Is there a minimum term?
There is a term in the agreement and it is discussed before signing. We would rather turn down a property than sign someone into something that does not suit them.
