Frequently Asked Questions

Who stays in the property?

We work with nationwide businesses, airports and hospitals to help house their professional employees, cabin crews and doctors, who need accommodation in the area.

They cannot commit to long ASTs as they may be in the area for only a short period of time (a few days up to 6 months). That’s where we come in and provide accommodation on a short term basis to them while ensuring we meet our obligations to you as our landlord or client.

We fill gaps by letting the property to well vetted guests who need accommodation while visiting the area for leisure and to families who need accommodation due to work being carried out on their main residence (often insurance companies are funding the stays).

What assurances do you have that the property will be looked after

Like any tenant things can get damaged, however unlike a regular tenant, we repair and maintain the property whenever an issue occurs. Our guests have to provide ID, sign terms and conditions and we take a security deposit every stay.

If something gets damaged we charge it directly to the guest out of the security deposit and inform their employer (our guests do not want to upset their employer). We are fully insured with legal indemnity, contents and public liability insurance if the worst should happen.

A key difference with us, is that we have guests, not tenants so they have no right to occupy. If there is a problem – we can remove them. Overall, the property has to stay in hotel standard condition or we could not operate as a business so you can rest assured the property will be looked after – that’s what makes us the perfect tenants as your needs and ours are aligned!

How do we proceed?

Contact us now – we get back to everyone and there are no silly questions – we are happy to answer anything and show you our systems. An analysis of your property takes only a few days.

How long have you been in business?

We’ve been managing our own vacation rentals for over 5 years, and have been running a successful business for over 3. We have a team of 5 people who do everything from accounting to quality control, to marketing and customer service.

What is your Management Fee?

In order to create a win-win scenario, we made our management income dependent on your gross income! Our fee is 18% off your gross income after any taxes (transient occupancy tax) are taken out. In some areas, there are no transient occupancy taxes, so it’s just 18% off the top. Check with your city to find out what your transient occupancy tax percentage is. If we manage three or more properties for you, your third goes to 15%.
