Is the home near a town centre, the coast, a hospital, a university or a big employer?
What does it cost?
Our fee is 15% plus VAT, worked out on what the booking platform pays out after its commission, and only from bookings. Direct bookings through our website carry a 5% plus VAT platform fee instead of a booking site’s commission. There is a one off setup fee, and photography is priced separately, both agreed before you sign. See every fee.
How does your fee compare with other managers?
We have compared our fee with the main UK managers and with the managers covering Kent, using the fee each company publishes on its own website. See UK management fees compared and Kent managers compared.
Is my home right for a short let?
It depends on where it is, how it is furnished and what you want from it. Your earnings report checks local demand for your home before you decide anything. Is my home right for short lets?
Can I still use the home myself?
Yes. Block dates whenever you like for your own stays, and your owner portal shows your calendar, earnings and statements whenever you want to look.
Who pays for repairs and damage?
We arrange cleaners, checks and trades, and usually check with you before spending over £100 on a repair. Repairs and upkeep are paid by you as the owner, and every cost shows on its own line in your monthly statement. What happens if a guest causes damage.
How do you know who is staying?
Every guest is checked before arrival, and the home is checked after every stay. How guests are checked.
Is this the same as serviced accommodation?
Serviced accommodation usually means a furnished home let with bills, Wi-Fi, linen and cleaning included, and that is how we run every home. We list it on the booking sites and on our own website, so guests are a mix of holidaymakers, families and people working away. We cannot promise only business guests, but every guest is checked before arrival.
Do I need permission from my lender or freeholder?
You may. Your mortgage lender, your insurer and, for a leasehold flat, your lease can each have rules about short lets, so check them before you start. Mortgages and short lets and leasehold flats.
I have a tenant now. Can I end the tenancy to switch to short lets?
Not on that reason alone in England. Since 1 May 2026, wanting to change how you let the home is not a ground for possession. You can switch if the tenant chooses to leave, which they can do with two months’ notice. From long let to short let.
Are short lets taxed differently?
Not any more. Since the holiday let tax regime ended in April 2025, short let and long let income are taxed the same way, as property income. Tax on short let income.
I already have a manager. Can I move to you?
Yes. Check your current agreement for its notice period, and we can plan the handover around it. Switching from another manager.
