For landlords and letting agents
We understand that allowing another business to rent and manage your property requires trust. Before anything begins, we explain the proposed use, management plan and responsibilities in writing.
The management plan may include cleaning between bookings, property rules, routine checks at an agreed frequency and a process for reporting damage or maintenance concerns. The exact arrangements will depend on the property and agreement.
The starting condition should be recorded by inventory, photographs or a condition report. Inspection frequency, access, spending limits and repair authorisation will be agreed before commencement. Issues requiring the landlord or agent will be reported through the agreed contact.
Management depends on the agreed use. For serviced accommodation, it may include booking communication, property rules, cleaning coordination and responding to concerns. We will not change the agreed use without discussing it and obtaining any required consent.
The written agreement will cover notice, return of possession, keys, expected condition and comparison with the original inventory. Any cleaning, reinstatement or decoration obligations must be agreed rather than assumed.
For property owners
We welcome direct conversations with owners of residential property, including empty homes and properties requiring repair, modernisation or refurbishment.
There is no pressure to proceed. We will review the details and explain whether the property may suit our criteria.
