What we do here
Our services in Southfields
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.
Southfields
How the figure is reached
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.
Southfields
The process, step by step
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.
Southfields
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
This suits an owner who wants the property to work without becoming a second job. It does not suit someone who wants to approve every booking — that is a different relationship and it does not run well.
Southfields
The paperwork that has to be right
Deposit handling, where it applies, follows the statutory scheme. There is no discretion in it.
Southfields
What we won't do
We do not lock owners into terms they have not read. If somebody wants a week to have the agreement looked over, they should take it.
Southfields
How to begin
Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

Your Questions
The questions we get most in Southfields.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Southfields property suitable for short lets?
It depends on location, layout, parking and what drives visitors to the area. We appraise before we commit and we will tell you if the answer is no — a property that does not suit short-let demand costs us both money.
What compliance do I need?
Gas safety certificate, electrical installation condition report, PAT testing where relevant, fire safety equipment, and appropriate insurance. Some councils also require planning permission or a licence for short lets — we will point you at your council's current position rather than guess it.
How is pricing set?
Nightly rates move with demand — day of week, season, local events, how far ahead the booking is. Static pricing is the most common reason a short let underperforms.
What if I want to stop?
There is a notice period, set out in the agreement before you sign. We do not lock landlords into terms they did not read.
