What it's worth

Properties kept in good order, tenancies turned round fast

A long let is quiet for months and then everything lands at once: a check-out, a deep clean, repairs and a new tenant waiting. In between, the property still has to be maintained and the certificates still have to be in date. We cover both halves.

What you are aiming for, and how we get you there

Maintenance that keeps ahead of the bills

What you wantSmall faults fixed before they turn into the repair that eats a year’s rent.

How we get thereReactive repairs and planned upkeep through the tenancy, using qualified trades, with 24/7 emergency cover and one owner on every job until it is closed.

Check-out and move-in run as one changeover

What you wantThe end-of-tenancy clean, the condition record and the next tenant’s move-in handled together, not as three separate jobs.

How we get thereTenancy-end deep cleans and inventories, then any works, the move-in clean and the checks, planned as a single changeover with a record for each property.

Certificates that never lapse

What you wantGas, electrical, alarms and EPCs in date without you having to track them.

How we get thereA compliance calendar for each property, with gas safety checks, EICRs, alarm and emergency lighting testing and EPCs booked, completed and stored against the property.

Shorter voids across the whole portfolio

What you wantDays between tenancies rather than weeks, on properties spread right across the city.

How we get thereThe clean, the repairs and the checks run in parallel by one team, with coverage planned across your portfolio in London and Paris.

The outcome

Well-maintained properties, and rent you can hold

For a long-let portfolio, condition is what you charge on. Staying on top of maintenance means fewer emergency call-outs, a property that shows well at every viewing, tenants who stay longer, and a rent you can defend at renewal.

Planned upkeepFewer emergenciesA property kept in good conditionTenants who stay longerRent you can hold

Properties that hold their condition

Planned upkeep through the tenancy, not just a scramble when something breaks.

One contact instead of many

A single point of contact for cleaning, checks and repairs.
