What we do here
Our services in Walker
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.
Walker
The commercial mechanics
Minimum-stay rules, gap-filling and last-minute pricing are separate levers and they get pulled separately. Treating them as one setting is how calendars end up full and unprofitable.
Walker
How it runs day to day
Maintenance is triaged rather than escalated. Most issues are small; the skill is knowing which ones are not and dealing with those before a guest is affected.
Walker
Who gets the most from it
Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.
Walker
Compliance, plainly
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Walker
Things we don't do
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Walker
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 Walker.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What is the difference between fully managed and guaranteed rent?
Fully managed means you keep the upside and carry the voids; we take a percentage of what the property earns. Guaranteed rent means we pay you a fixed sum every month whether it is booked or not, and we carry the voids. One trades certainty for ceiling.
Do you cover the whole of Walker?
We work across Walker and the surrounding area. Whether a specific street suits short-let demand is a different question from whether we cover it, and the appraisal answers that one.
Who pays for cleaning and linen?
Cleaning is charged to the guest as a fee where the channel allows it. Anything not covered that way is set out in the agreement so there are no surprises on the statement.
What reporting do I get?
A monthly statement showing bookings, income, deductions and works. If you want to see the underlying calendar, ask and we will show you.
