What is short let management and how does it work?

It is a fully managed service covering every aspect of running a short-term rental: listing creation and marketing, dynamic pricing, bookings, guest communication, check-in, housekeeping, linen and maintenance. You receive a monthly statement and a payment; we handle everything else.

How much more can I earn than a standard tenancy?

Most well-located, well-presented properties in our area produce two to three times the gross income of a standard AST. Your free valuation gives a property-specific projection based on real nightly rates and occupancy in your postcode, net of our fee.

What does the 15% fee cover?

Listing build and syndication, dynamic pricing, 24/7 guest communication, guest vetting and deposits, check-in management, housekeeping coordination, linen, maintenance management, inspections and monthly reporting. There is no VAT and no separate onboarding charge.

Is short let management suitable for absentee landlords?

It is ideal for them. Everything from guest messaging to emergency maintenance is handled locally, so you can own a short let in Chester or North Wales while living anywhere in the world.

How is my property protected from damage?

Every guest provides photo ID, confirms the reason for their stay, accepts house rules and covers a security deposit. Turnarounds are photo-verified, so any damage is identified and claimed the same day.

How quickly can my property go live?

Typically ten to fourteen days from signing. Staging and safety checks come first, then photography, listing build, pricing setup and launch across every channel.

Am I tied into a long contract?

No. The agreement runs on a rolling basis with 30 days' notice on either side. We keep your business by performing.

Which areas do you cover?

Chester, Manchester, Liverpool, Wrexham, Warrington and North Wales, including Conwy, Gwynedd and Anglesey.

Warrington short let rules and compliance

Warrington Borough Council has no dedicated short-let licensing scheme at the time of writing, but planning use, lease terms and freeholder consent still apply. We check your lease, gather gas, electrical and fire safety documentation and keep the file current.

Bank Quay and Central stations, the M6, M56 and M62 make Warrington the natural base for anyone working across the North West. Birchwood, Omega and Daresbury generate the strongest mid-stay demand.

Short letting is more straightforward than most landlords expect

Most properties in our coverage area qualify without difficulty. We check your position before onboarding and handle the paperwork and the conversations with freeholders or managing agents.

Planning and licensing

Councils across the North West take different approaches - Liverpool operates city-wide selective licensing, Manchester applies it in some wards, and Cheshire West & Chester currently does not. We confirm your specific position in writing before we start.

Lease and freeholder consent

Leasehold apartments sometimes restrict short-term letting. We read the lease, speak to the managing agent and tell you clearly whether the property can operate before you spend anything.

Furnished holiday let tax

The furnished holiday let regime changed in April 2025. We provide the income and expenditure reporting your accountant needs to model the new treatment for your property.

Insurance and safety

Short lets need specialist cover rather than standard landlord insurance, plus gas, electrical and fire safety records. We flag what is required and track renewal dates.

This is general guidance, not legal or tax advice. Always confirm your position with your local council and a qualified accountant.
