For property owners

Fixed rent, every month, void or not

Hand us the keys and we'll pay you a guaranteed monthly figure whether the property is occupied or not — or manage it for you on a percentage if you'd rather take the upside yourself.

Two ways to work with us

Certainty, or upside. Your call.

Most landlords want one of two things: a number they can rely on every month, or the best possible return with someone else doing the work. We do both.

Option one

Guaranteed Rent

We take the property on a company let and pay you a fixed sum on the same date every month for the length of the agreement. Whether it's full, empty or between guests is our problem, not yours.

  • Rent paid on time, every month, including voids
  • No letting fees, management fees or commission
  • We cover cleaning, wear and day-to-day maintenance
  • Property returned professionally cleaned with a condition report
  • No tenant-finding, no viewings, no chasing

Option two

Full Management

We run the property as serviced accommodation on your behalf and take a percentage of what it earns. Higher ceiling than a standard tenancy, and you still don't do any of the work.

  • Listing, pricing and channel management handled
  • Guest vetting, communication and check-in
  • Cleaning and linen by our own team
  • Monthly statements showing every booking
  • Reviewed annually, and you keep the upside

Getting started

From first call to first payment

  1. 01

    We view the property

    A look round, a conversation about condition, and an honest read on what it will earn.

  2. 02

    You get an offer

    A specific monthly figure for guaranteed rent, or a projection and percentage for management.

  3. 03

    Agreement and inventory

    Terms in writing, full photographic inventory, and safety certificates checked off.

  4. 04

    First payment

    Rent starts on the agreed date — not when we find someone to put in it.

What we're looking for

We're selective, because we take the risk on occupancy.

  • One to four bedroom houses and apartments
  • Anywhere across the ten Greater Manchester boroughs
  • Good decorative order, or willing to bring it up to standard
  • Parking or realistic on-street options nearby
  • Freeholder or lease permitting company lets
  • Valid gas safety, EICR and EPC certificates

What you can expect from us

  • An honest figure — we'd rather decline than overpromise and renegotiate
  • Photographic inventory at handover and at the end
  • Regular inspections with a written report
  • Professional cleaning throughout the agreement
  • Direct contact with the people running the business
  • The property back in the same condition or better

Where we take property

All ten boroughs

We're actively looking in every part of Greater Manchester, with the most demand in the city centre, Salford, Trafford, Bolton and Stockport.

Questions

Landlord FAQs

What do you offer landlords?

Two routes. Either we take your property on a guaranteed rent agreement and pay you a fixed monthly figure whether it is occupied or not, or we manage it for you on a percentage and you take the upside. Both include cleaning, maintenance coordination and guest management.

How long are your agreements?

Typically three to five years on guaranteed rent, which is what lets us commit to a fixed monthly payment. Management agreements are more flexible and can be reviewed annually.

Who covers maintenance?

We cover day-to-day wear, cleaning and minor repairs. Structural work, appliance replacement and anything covered by your building insurance stay with you as the owner. It is all set out clearly in the agreement.

What condition does my property come back in?

The same or better. We inventory everything at the start, inspect regularly, and hand back professionally cleaned with a full condition report.

What's your property worth to us?

Send the address, the bedroom count and a couple of photos. We'll come back with a monthly figure and no pressure attached to it.
