Choose your route

Two ways to let. One team behind both.

Most Manchester landlords are choosing between a steady twelve-month tenancy and a higher-yield short-let. We run both, so the advice you get isn't skewed by what we happen to offer.

Long let

Assured shorthold tenancy

Predictable monthly income with a referenced tenant in place for twelve months or more. Lower gross yield, near-zero involvement, no void-week anxiety.

  • Tenant find, referencing & right-to-rent
  • Deposit registered and protected
  • Rent collection & arrears chasing
  • Repairs coordinated with vetted trades
  • Gas, EICR, EPC & licensing tracked
  • Mid-tenancy inspections with photos

Short let & Airbnb

Serviced & nightly hosting

Higher gross returns from nightly stays, with the whole operation — listings, pricing, guests, linen, cleaning — handled for you. Best suited to city-centre and Salford Quays stock.

  • Airbnb, Booking.com & direct listings built
  • Professional photography included
  • Dynamic nightly pricing, reviewed weekly
  • Guest messaging & check-in handled
  • Hotel-standard changeover clean & linen
  • Consumables restocked, damage claims filed

Which route earns more depends on the building, the season and your occupancy. We'll model both against your actual property before you commit to either. Check your lease and any block restrictions before short-letting.

Included as standard

Everything from the first viewing onwards

Marketing that lands

Photography, floorplan and a written listing on the major portals and our own site — not a phone snap and three lines.

Accompanied viewings

We meet every applicant in person, including evenings and weekends. You never hand out keys.

Referencing that's real

Credit, employment, previous landlord and right-to-rent checks completed before an offer is put to you.

Rent handled

Collected, reconciled and paid to you on a fixed date with a monthly statement. Arrears chased from day one.

Maintenance without the group chat

Trusted trades, quotes over your agreed threshold, and a photo record of every job.

Compliance tracked

Gas safety, EICR, EPC, smoke and CO alarms and selective licensing — renewals booked before they lapse.

Deposits protected

Registered within thirty days, prescribed information served, disputes handled if they arise.

Cleaning in-house

Our own cleaning team, so changeovers and end-of-tenancy don't depend on someone else's diary.

The process

From first call to first payment

Five steps, and you're only actively involved in the first one.

  1. 1

    Valuation and strategy

    We visit the property, give you a realistic rent for both routes, and tell you which one actually suits the building, the lease and your plans.

  2. 2

    Compliance check

    We audit what's in place — certificates, alarms, licensing — and flag anything that needs doing before marketing starts. No surprises at check-in.

  3. 3

    Marketing and viewings

    Photography booked, listing written and put live as soon as the property is ready. We handle every viewing.

  4. 4

    Offer, referencing and paperwork

    We put offers to you with the referencing already done. Tenancy drawn up, deposit registered, inventory completed with photographs.

  5. 5

    Ongoing management

    Rent lands on a fixed date with a statement. Maintenance, inspections, renewals and compliance run in the background — you hear from us when it matters.

Coverage

Where we manage

Greater Manchester and Salford. We stay inside a radius we can actually drive — you can't manage a property properly from an hour away.

Questions

Landlord FAQs

Is short-letting more profitable than a long tenancy?

Gross, usually yes in the city centre. Net is a different question once cleaning, linen, platform fees, utilities and void nights come out, and short lets carry far more month-to-month variance. We'll model both for your specific property before you decide.

Can I short-let my apartment in a managed block?

Often not. Many Manchester new-builds prohibit lettings under ninety days in the lease or building rules, and enforcement has tightened. We check your lease before quoting — and if it's restricted, we'll say so rather than let you find out from the management company.

Do I need a licence to let in Manchester or Salford?

Depends on the property and the ward. Both councils operate selective licensing in designated areas, and HMOs have separate rules. We check your address against the current schemes as part of the compliance audit.

What happens if the tenant stops paying?

We chase from the first missed day, keep you updated in writing and escalate on an agreed timeline. We'll talk you through your options, including rent guarantee cover if you want protection in place from the start.

Can I switch from my current agent mid-tenancy?

Yes. Check your notice period, then we handle the handover — keys, deposit transfer, certificates and tenant introduction.

How is my rent paid to me?

On a fixed date each month by bank transfer, with a statement showing rent received, fees and any deductions. Overseas landlords: we can operate under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme.

Free, no obligation

What's your property worth per month?

Tell us the address and we'll come back with a long-let figure, a short-let projection, and what we'd do to close the gap between them.
