What we do here
Our services in Somers Town
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.
Somers Town
How we price it
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.
Somers Town
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.
Somers Town
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Somers Town
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Somers Town
The limits, stated up front
We are not a building contractor. Where work is needed we introduce the trades we use, and the contract for that work sits between the owner and the trade, priced before it starts.

Where to start
Send the property details and any photographs or an online link. That is usually enough for a first view on whether it is worth going further.

Your Questions
The questions we get most in Somers Town.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is the first step for a Somers Town landlord?
A free appraisal. We look at the property, the location and the local demand picture, and give you a straight answer on whether short-let management or guaranteed rent makes sense — including when it does not.
Do you charge for the appraisal?
No. There is no fee and no obligation.
How is my income paid?
Monthly, with a statement showing what was earned and what was deducted.
What if my property needs work first?
We will say so. If the work is worth doing we can introduce you to the trades we use; if the property would be better sold as-is, we will say that too.
