Jump to phase
Overall Progress
Phase 1 of 3
Step 01
Free Consultation
+
We assess your property, understand your goals, and provide a realistic projected income estimate tailored to your location and property type. No obligation, no pressure — just honest numbers.
Step 02
Management Agreement
+
A clear, transparent agreement is signed with no hidden fees, no long-term lock-in, and no surprises. We agree on your goals, pricing parameters, and your personal date-blocking preferences upfront.
Step 03
Property Handover
+
Keys are securely collected, a full inventory is documented, and access is arranged for our vetted housekeeping and maintenance teams. Your dedicated property manager is assigned from day one.
Step 04
Professional Photography
+
Our professional photographers capture your property at its absolute best — wide-angle, natural-light shots that showcase every room. Great photography is the single highest-impact factor in booking conversion.
Step 05
Listing Creation & Launch
+
SEO-optimised listings crafted with compelling copy and live across Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia, and more — typically within 48 hours of handover. Dynamic pricing is activated from the first night.
Step 06
Dynamic Pricing
+
Our AI-powered pricing tool monitors local demand, competitor rates, events, and seasonal trends in real time — adjusting your nightly rate automatically to maximise yield every single night.
Step 07
24/7 Guest Communication
+
All guest enquiries are answered within minutes — day or night. We handle booking confirmations, pre-arrival questions, in-stay support, and any issues that arise, always representing your property professionally.
Step 08
Check-In Coordination
+
Seamless key handover or smart-lock access managed for every arrival. Each guest receives a personalised digital welcome guide with local recommendations, house rules, and emergency contacts.
Step 09
Hotel-Grade Cleaning
+
Our vetted housekeeping teams deep-clean after every checkout. Professional linen is laundered and the property is reset to hotel standard before the next guest — every time, without exception.
Step 10
Post-Clean Inspection
+
A photo-verified inspection is logged to your owner dashboard after every clean. Damage, wear, or missing items are flagged immediately and resolved before the next guest checks in.
Step 11
Maintenance & Repairs
+
Trusted, vetted local tradespeople are dispatched swiftly for any maintenance issues. Preventive maintenance is also scheduled proactively to protect the long-term value of your asset.
Step 12
Guest Review Management
+
We actively follow up with guests to encourage 5-star reviews and respond professionally to all feedback. Consistent high ratings directly improve your listing rank and booking conversion rate.
Step 13
Monthly Performance Report
+
Every month you receive a detailed report covering occupancy rate, average nightly rate, total bookings, income breakdown, guest rating summary, and any maintenance activity — delivered directly to your dashboard.
Step 14
Monthly Payout
+
Your net earnings are transferred directly to your bank account every month — on time, every time. A full itemised statement accompanies each payment so you always know exactly where every pound comes from.
Step 15
Continuous Optimisation
+
We review your listing performance, pricing strategy, and guest feedback monthly — constantly refining your setup to maximise returns season by season. The cycle then repeats, getting stronger every time.
