What drives the number

Pricing decisions are made against what the property can actually command, not against a target somebody would like it to hit. Aspirational pricing produces empty nights, not better ones.

Wolsey Island

How it runs day to day

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.

Where this fits, and where it doesn't

It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.

The compliance side

Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.

The limits, stated up front

We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.

How to begin

If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.

Your Questions

Common questions about Wolsey Island.

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 Wolsey Island?

We work across Wolsey Island 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.
