For property owners

We support landlords, end to end

Whatever a property needs, we do ourselves: furnishing and staging it, letting and running it, cleaning it and fixing it. Hand the whole thing over, or just the part you're missing.

How we help

Everything a property needs, in one place

Most owners come to us for one of these and end up using two or three. They are separate services, so take whichever you actually need.

01

Guaranteed rent

We become your tenant and pay a set figure on the same date every month, occupied or not.

How it works

02

Full management

We run the property and you keep the income, for a 12-15% fee and a full monthly breakdown.

How it works

03

Staging & furnishing

Our own team specs, sources and fits the place out at trade prices, then photographs it.

04

Cleaning & maintenance

Employed teams, not agency. Changeovers, deep cleans and repairs, handled without you chasing anyone.

Our cleaning arm

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 guaranteedsum 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.

  • Guaranteed rent paid on time every month, including voids
  • 0% fees. No letting fees, no management fees, no commission
  • Up to £250 of maintenance covered per month, handled by our own team
  • Cleaning and wear and tear covered on top of that
  • Property returned professionally cleaned with a condition report
  • No tenant-finding, no viewings, no chasing

Option two

Full Management

We run the property as short-term stays on your behalf for a 12-15% management fee. Higher ceiling than a standard tenancy, and you still don't do any of the work.

  • 12-15% of revenue, and nothing else. No letting fee, no set-up fee
  • Listing, pricing and channel management handled
  • Guest vetting, communication and check-in
  • Cleaning and linen by our own team
  • A full monthly breakdown: every booking, every cost, every night sold
  • 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 guaranteed monthly figure, or a projection and a 12-15% management fee if you would rather take the upside.

  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

Staging & furnishing

Getting your place guest-ready

Empty, or furnished for a tenancy rather than for guests? Our own staging team specs, sources and fits out the whole property, then styles and photographs it ready to list.

Because we furnish our own portfolio constantly, we buy through trade accounts and long-standing supplier relationships, and those prices come to you rather than staying with us. Most owners furnish with us for noticeably less than the same list costs retail.

  • TradePrices, passed straight on
  • In-houseOur own staging team
  • 2 weeksEmpty shell to listed
  • PhotoStyled and shot for the listing

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 guaranteed monthly figure whether it is occupied or not, with no fees at all, or we manage it for you on a 12-15% management fee and you take the upside. Both include cleaning, maintenance and guest management, and we can furnish the property first if it needs it.

How long are your agreements?

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

Who covers maintenance?

On guaranteed rent we cover day-to-day wear, cleaning and repairs up to £250 a month, carried out by our own maintenance team rather than billed on from a contractor. 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.

My property is empty. Can you furnish it?

Yes. Our own staging team specs, sources and fits out the whole property, then styles and photographs it ready to list. Because we furnish our own portfolio constantly we buy through trade accounts, and those prices are passed on to you, so most owners furnish with us for less than the same list costs retail.

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.
