Sell a property that needs work
Tired, unmodernised or inherited property bought as it stands, with no agent fees.
Property investment and sourcing

The commercial mechanics
Rate-setting is a daily job. Lead time, competing supply, day of week and local demand all pull in different directions, and the gap between an averagely-priced calendar and a well-priced one is not small.
Tipner
What to expect once it starts
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.
Tipner
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
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.
Tipner
Compliance, plainly
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Tipner
Things we don't do
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.
Tipner
Getting started
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
Tipner: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Is my Tipner 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.
