Let your holiday home earn its keep

Turn your property into an income-generating asset. We manage luxury holiday homes end-to-end to maximise your property’s income completely hands-free: multi-channel marketing, guest communication, cleaning and maintenance, and more.

How it works

From first message to first guest, in three steps

1

Projection and assessment

Fill in the projection form. We will build an income projection from local comparables and arrange to see the property to assess how it is likely to perform across a full year.

2

Agreement and onboarding

Once we agree to work together we sign the management agreement and get the property ready, including safety and compliance checks, then build and optimise the listings.

3

Live and running

Pricing reviewed daily, guests handled from first enquiry to final review, changeovers run to a written checklist, and revenue, occupancy, costs and your payment itemised in one statement each month.

Why let it at all

Empty, tenanted, or let to guests

Left as it is

Let on a standard tenancy

Let to guests, managed

Why choose holiday letting

More from the same property

Your property is booked by the night for a greater monthly income. Pricing is reviewed daily against local demand, competing supply and what is in the diary that week to maximise revenue

Fully hands-off management

We take on the day to day for you. The bookings, the guests, the suppliers and the problems that arrive at inconvenient hours are all ours. What you get back is your time.

Seen by the people actually looking

The property is listed and kept current across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and our own direct booking site, with the listing angled at right guests for the property. Calendars stay synchronised so the same dates cannot sell twice.

Guests are varified

Before arrival, Guests submit IDs, sign a rental agreement and authorise a security deposit where the property calls for one. Holiday lets draw groups more often than tenancies do, so this matters more here.

A property in use is a property looked after

Cleaning to a written checklist and inspected between every stay. Wear and maintenance surface early rather than at the end of a tenancy.

You are kept in the picture

A statement each month covering what the property earned, what it cost and what is coming to you. If something goes wrong in between you hear it from us, along with what we did about it, rather than finding out later.

Holiday let questions

Asked and answered

Yes. Dates you want to use the property can be reserved and blocked across every channel so no guest can book them. We only ask for reasonable notice so we can manage availability without cancelling on a guest.

Only if the property meets the criteria for business rates: available to let 252 nights a year and actually let for 182 in Wales, for England a property needs to be available for 140 nights and let for 70. Letting it occasionally does not change the position.

For every booking, guests provide IDs and signs a rental agreement, and we hold a refundable security deposit where the property calls for one. This helps to screen out potentially problematic guests and ensure the property is respected. Wear and tear, and accidents do happen, but in the rare case where damages beyond normal use occur, we will handle claims against the guest for you. 

For additional protection for both the property and guests, we recommend that a suitable serviced accommodation/short-term let insurance policy is taken out.

Families, couples, groups, people working away and occasionally companies or insurers booking on behalf of someone else. The type of guest that books can vary according to location and property type.

Yes. Full management is available across South Wales and nearby regions including South West England, where a property is within travelling distance of our teams. Co-hosting is available nationwide, with cleaning and maintenance arranged locally by the host.
