What we do here
Our services in Sparkhill
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.
Sparkhill
The commercial mechanics
Every rate change is a trade between occupancy and yield per night, and the right side of that trade depends on how much of the month is already committed.
Sparkhill
What actually happens
Cleaning and linen are scheduled around the calendar rather than a fixed day. A same-day turnaround is routine and it is planned, not improvised.
Sparkhill
Who gets the most from it
It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.
Sparkhill
Compliance, plainly
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
Sparkhill
Things we don't do
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Sparkhill
Getting started
Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

Your Questions
Common questions about Sparkhill.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Can you manage more than one Sparkhill property?
Yes. Portfolio owners are a large part of what we do, and reporting is consolidated rather than one statement per unit.
Do you handle maintenance?
We triage and arrange it through vetted trades. We are not a building contractor — we make introductions to the trades we use and the work is between you and them, priced before it starts.
How quickly do you respond to guests?
Guest messages are handled throughout the day, every day. Response speed is a ranking factor on most channels, so it is in our interest as much as yours.
What sort of property works best?
Well-located two and three bedroom properties with parking tend to work hardest, but the honest answer is that it varies by area and we would rather appraise than generalise.
