What we do here
Our services in The Mount
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.

How the numbers are worked out
Pricing is reviewed continuously rather than monthly. A midweek gap three weeks out is a different commercial problem from a Saturday gap three days out, and they get different answers.
The Mount
The process, step by step
Compliance comes first because it has to: gas, electrical, fire equipment and the right insurance. A listing that goes live without them is a liability, not a head start.
The Mount
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
It suits someone who values a predictable outcome over an occasional excellent month. If the excellent month is the point, a different model fits better.
The Mount
The paperwork that has to be right
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
The Mount
Things we don't do
We do not guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.
The Mount
Where to start
An initial conversation is worth more than a form. Most of what matters — constraints, timing, what the owner actually wants — does not fit in a field.

Your Questions
What people ask before starting in The Mount.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Can you manage more than one The Mount 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.
