Do you operate on management agreement, revenue share or guaranteed rent?

All three. Most blocks run on a full management agreement with a transparent management fee. We also offer revenue-share and selected guaranteed-rent structures for the right buildings - typically newly built, well-located stock.

Do we need freeholder or leaseholder consent?

Yes - we always review the lease, head-lease and building rules before onboarding. Where short-letting needs explicit consent or a lease variation we'll flag it on day one and won't proceed until it's in writing.

How do you handle Article 4, planning and council licensing?

Our team checks Article 4 directions, planning history and any local short-let licensing schemes (e.g. London 90-day rule, Scotland licensing, Welsh registration) before agreeing terms. Where a Sui Generis or C3 planning argument applies we'll explain the position clearly.

What insurance is in place for a managed block?

We require appropriate short-let / specialist landlord insurance per unit. We also operate under our own public liability and professional indemnity cover, and we work with major OTAs whose host-protection programmes apply on top.

How long does it take to onboard a block?

Typically 3–6 weeks from signed agreement to phased go-live, depending on furnishing status, photography, smart-lock installation and channel onboarding. New-build blocks taken from handover can be live in under a month.

What does reporting look like at block level?

Monthly per-unit reporting covering occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, gross revenue, operating costs and net income - plus a consolidated block-level dashboard. Owners get live visibility through the owner portal between reports.

What's the notice / exit on a block management agreement?

Standard agreements run for an initial term (typically 12 months) followed by a rolling notice period. Specifics depend on whether the building is on management, revenue-share or guaranteed-rent terms - we'll always set it out plainly in the heads of terms.

The block specialists

Managing a block of short-lets needs specialist expertise.

Single-unit operators don't scale cleanly to 10, 20 or 30 apartments. Different agents per floor, mismatched standards, duplicated overheads and no consolidated view of the building. We exist to solve that - one team, one set of systems, one report across the entire block.

Why a single block partner

Eight ways block management beats unit-by-unit.

One dedicated team

A single ops team for the whole block - one point of contact, faster decisions, no finger-pointing between contractors.

Consistent hotel-standard quality

Every unit changed over, restocked and inspected to the same 30-point standard. Guests can't tell apartments apart.

Bulk-rate operations

We negotiate bulk pricing on cleaning, linen, restock, maintenance and utilities - savings passed straight back into your net yield.

Higher guest scores & reviews

Block-level concierge means faster issue response and more 5-star reviews - the single biggest lever on nightly rate.

Asset value protection

Planned PPM, regular condition reports and proactive snagging protect the block's long-term value, not just this month's revenue.

Block-level marketing & pricing

Listings, photography and dynamic pricing tuned across the whole block - we avoid units cannibalising each other and optimise total revenue.

Transparent monthly reporting

One consolidated owner report covering occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, costs and net income - per unit and at block level.

Compliance, licensing & risk

Article 4, HMO, fire-risk assessments, gas / EICR, insurance and OTA-side compliance handled by people who do this every day.

Who we work with

From handover day to long-term operation.

Developers & BTR operators

From handover day. We stage, furnish, launch and operate floors or whole buildings - perfect for absorbing units while traditional sales complete.

Multi-unit private investors

5+ units in one building? Consolidate your operator stack, kill duplicate fees and unlock bulk pricing across your portfolio.

Reliable short-term stock for NHS, contractors, corporate relocations and decant - managed under proper service-level agreements.

Block management FAQ

Questions developers and investors always ask.

We typically onboard blocks of 5+ units in one building, though we'll consider smaller clusters where the location and unit mix make sense. Above 10 units the bulk-procurement economics really start to compound.
