Our Service

Short lets are fully furnished, flexible, and usually include bills, but they cost more and offer fewer tenant rights.
Long lets are more affordable with fixed contracts, but tenants often pay bills separately and have less flexibility.
Short lets suit temporary stays, while long lets are better for stable, long-term living.

No, sorry. We're focused full management, full time Total Guest Management rather than adhoc / standalone services at this moment in time as this gives us the most productive use of our available resources.
-
The ultimate differentiating factor is quite simply, profitability. However, to achieve this, we've "engineered" our service to focus on delivering an exemplary guest experience by providing a total rather than piecemeal service.
Bookings
-
Guest book online through booking web sites that we list your property on. These include AirBnb, VRBO, The Plum Guide , GoodProperty.London , Booking.com See some examples here.
-
We use one of our personal superhost profiles, which prospective guests see.
This is because it's more secure for you as we don't need access to your bank account (and therefore, any fraudulent exposure to it). We need to reconcile bookings and payment and do this with our our own account / statement.
Our profiles have already earned an outstanding track record of reviews from guests staying in proprerties within our portfolio. This is a signfiicant factor in attracting bookings.
-
Our booking strategy is applied to each property we list and is engineered to balance occupancy with the daily rate. This will take into account the following that are likely to affect demand:
Events
Season
Competiting properties of the same profile in the neighbourhood
-
Unless there is a serious-health related reason, guests won't receive a refund for their booking.
Screening Guests
-
Guest screening is a way to determine how risky are you guests. That is, how likely you are to suffer an adverse outcome such as damage, disturbance to neighbours, etc. It is a fundamental task most hosts carry out by checking the review history of guest, both how many reviews and what they say.
-
We fully recognise that one the biggest worries assocaited with short letting is disruptive guests. So Total Guest Managementplaces a heavy emphasis on screening them - we adopt a highly effective "Trash Filtration" process that extends the typical approach and involves asking a number of dynamically-tailored questions that results in keeping out all those disruptive individuals don't welcome into your property.
-
Althought this hasn't happened to date, each booking website provides a varying level of cover for damage caused by guests.
For example, Airbnb operate with their AirCover for Hosts, top-to-bottom protection for Hosts. It includes guest identity verification, reservation screening, $3m Host damage protection, $1m Host liability insurance and a 24-hour safety line. It also includes $1m Experiences & Services liability insurance.
In the event of a claim, we would administer this for you as your property is listed under one of our host profiles.
