A hands-on manager, not a call centre
Most landlords don't want another portal login — they want someone who answers the phone, knows the property, and gets things fixed. That's what we do.
We take on a limited number of properties so every one gets proper attention: honest advice on rent, tenants who are referenced properly, and a maintenance response that protects the value of your asset rather than patching over it.
- One point of contact for you and your tenants
- Trusted trades for repairs and refurbishment
- Clear monthly statements — no surprise charges
Services
Everything a let needs, under one fee
Full management as standard. Safety certificates, renovation and project work are quoted separately, so you always know what you're paying for.
Rental management
Rent collection and chasing, deposit registration, renewals and rent reviews, notices and inventories, plus a single point of contact for your tenants.
Renovations & refurbishment
From a repaint and new flooring to full kitchen and bathroom upgrades. We scope the work, manage the trades and keep void periods as short as possible.
General maintenance
Reactive repairs and planned upkeep — plumbing, electrics, damp, gardens and communal areas — handled by vetted contractors with your approval on spend.
Compliance & certificates
We arrange and track your EPC, Gas Safety Certificate (GSC), EICR, smoke and CO alarm checks and deposit registration so nothing lapses. Certificates are booked on your behalf and billed separately.
Quarterly inspections
We inspect every managed property each quarter and send you a photo report — condition, wear, early signs of damp or damage, and anything the tenant hasn't reported.
Renovation work
We fix the property first, then find the tenant
A tired property attracts tired offers. Where it makes financial sense, we'll tell you exactly what to spend and what it should return — then manage the work end to end.
- Walkthrough with costed recommendations before anything starts
- Only work that improves rent, resilience or compliance
- Photo updates as the job progresses
- Property listed the moment it's ready

Questions landlords ask us
Something not covered? Email us and we'll answer properly.
What exactly does the 14% cover?
Full management: your free market appraisal, marketing and viewings, tenant referencing, the tenancy agreement, deposit registration, rent collection, quarterly inspections, compliance tracking and coordinating any maintenance. Safety certificates, repairs and renovation works are charged separately and quoted in advance.
Do you charge to find a tenant?
No separate tenant-find fee for managed properties. Marketing, viewings and referencing are included in the 14%.
Why are safety certificates charged on top?
Certificates such as your EPC, Gas Safety Certificate (GSC) and EICR are carried out by qualified, registered engineers and assessors, so they carry a real third-party cost. Rather than bundling an estimate into the management fee, we arrange them, quote you the price up front and bill them as they fall due — so you only pay for what your property actually needs, when it needs it.
What happens at a quarterly inspection?
We visit the property every three months and walk through it properly — checking condition and cleanliness, looking for damp, leaks or wear, testing alarms and noting anything the tenant hasn't reported. You get a written summary with photos, plus any recommendations before small problems turn into expensive ones.
Is the market appraisal really free?
Yes. We inspect the property, research comparable local lettings and give you an achievable market rent with no charge and no obligation to sign up.
How do you choose tenants?
Every applicant is referenced — identity and right to rent, employment or income verification, affordability and previous landlord references where available. We give you the summary and the final say.
Who handles repairs at 2am?
We do. Tenants contact us, not you. Minor works are dealt with straight away under an agreed spend limit; anything larger comes to you with a quote first.
Can you take over an existing tenancy?
Yes. We'll review the current agreement, deposit protection and compliance certificates, introduce ourselves to the tenants and take over from there.
Do I need to pay upfront for renovations?
Works are quoted before starting and agreed in writing. Payment terms depend on the size of the job — we'll always be clear on this before anything begins.
Which areas do you cover?
We work across London and the surrounding areas. If you're slightly further out, email us the address — we'll tell you honestly whether we can manage it well.
