What we do here
Our services in Westbourne
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.
Westbourne
How we price it
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.
Westbourne
How the work gets done
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.
Westbourne
Who gets the most from it
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Westbourne
The compliance side
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Westbourne
What we won't do
We do not take on property we do not think will work. Turning something down costs us a fee and saves an owner a year of disappointment.
Westbourne
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
Westbourne: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you need a key holder in Westbourne?
No. Access is handled with a key safe or a smart lock, and we manage the codes. You do not need to be nearby.
What insurance do I need?
Standard residential landlord insurance does not usually cover short-let use. You will need a policy written for it, and we will tell you what to ask for before we list.
How do you handle check-in?
Self check-in with instructions sent ahead of arrival, and a real person contactable if something goes wrong. It is more reliable than meeting guests at a door at 11pm.
Is there a minimum term?
There is a term in the agreement and it is discussed before signing. We would rather turn down a property than sign someone into something that does not suit them.
