What we do here
Our services in St Lawrence
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.
St Lawrence
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.
St Lawrence
What to expect once it starts
The first month is the noisiest. Rates are being calibrated against real booking behaviour rather than an estimate, and that is when the calendar tells you what the property is actually worth.
St Lawrence
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.
St Lawrence
Certificates, licensing and insurance
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
St Lawrence
What we won't do
We do not advise on finance or tax. Those are jobs for a broker and an accountant, and we will say so rather than improvise.
St Lawrence
How to begin
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.

Your Questions
Common questions about St Lawrence.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my St Lawrence 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.
