What we do here
Our services in Sydenham
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.
Sydenham
How the numbers are worked out
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.
Sydenham
How it runs day to day
Reporting is monthly and it shows the deductions as well as the income. A statement that only shows the good number is not a statement.
Sydenham
Is this right for you?
Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.
Sydenham
Compliance, plainly
Deposit handling, where it applies, follows the statutory scheme. There is no discretion in it.
Sydenham
Things we don'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.
Sydenham
Getting started
The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.

Your Questions
What people ask before starting in Sydenham.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Sydenham 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.
