What we do here
Our services in The Parade
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.
The Parade
What drives the number
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.
The Parade
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.
The Parade
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.
The Parade
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.
The Parade
Where we draw the line
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
The Parade
Getting started
Getting in touch costs nothing and commits to nothing. That is not a sales line; it is how the process is set up.

Your Questions
The Parade questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is the first step for a The Parade landlord?
A free appraisal. We look at the property, the location and the local demand picture, and give you a straight answer on whether short-let management or guaranteed rent makes sense — including when it does not.
Do you charge for the appraisal?
No. There is no fee and no obligation.
How is my income paid?
Monthly, with a statement showing what was earned and what was deducted.
What if my property needs work first?
We will say so. If the work is worth doing we can introduce you to the trades we use; if the property would be better sold as-is, we will say that too.
