Common questions
- What does the 15% management fee cover?
- Everything operational: listing creation, dynamic pricing, guest communication, vetting, check-ins, housekeeping coordination, linen, maintenance management and monthly reporting. No VAT is added.
- Am I tied into a long contract?
- No. Our management agreement runs on a rolling basis with 30 days' notice on either side. We keep your business by performing, not by locking you in.
- What happens if the property is damaged?
- Every guest provides ID, accepts house rules and covers a security deposit. Damage is photographed at changeover and claimed the same day.
- How quickly can my property go live?
- Typically 10 to 14 days from signing: staging and photography first, then listing build, pricing and launch across every platform.
- Do you offer guaranteed rent instead?
- Yes. If you want zero variance we can offer a fixed monthly rent on suitable city-centre properties - see our Guaranteed Rent page.
