Up to double theincome. None ofthe tenants.
Since the Renters' Rights Act, getting your own property back has never been harder. We turn it into a professionally managed short let instead: no tenancy, no lock-in, and your keys back on thirty days' notice. We run every part of it.
Based on live comparable performance across Berkshire and the Thames Valley. Your own projection is built from properties on your street.

Some properties do considerably better. Our strongest comparable, a two-bedroom flat in Newbury, returns 127%. A three-bedroom terrace in Reading returns 41%. We'll tell you honestly which end of that range your property sits at, before you commit to anything.
Figures based on live comparable rents and nightly rates in Windsor, July 2026, net of platform and cleaning fees. The void allowance assumes one empty month in thirteen, a standard planning assumption for tenancies. Running costs assume utilities, council tax, broadband and insurance. Occupancy modelled at 65%.

The part nobody talks about
You own it. But right now,you can't really use it.
A tenancy hands over control of your property for as long as your tenant chooses to stay. Section 21 was the rule that let a landlord end a tenancy at the end of its term without having to give a reason — the so-called "no-fault" eviction. It has now been abolished, so ending a tenancy is slower and harder than it has ever been. You can't move back in at short notice. You can't let family use it. Selling means selling around a sitting tenant. And you won't see the inside of it for a year.
Take it back on thirty days' notice
There is a short initial term while the listing builds its reviews and ranking, and after that it is simply rolling — thirty days' notice, whenever suits you.
Use it yourself, any time
Block out dates for family, friends or your own stay. Just give us reasonable notice.
Sell whenever you like
No sitting tenant, no chain complications, and a proven income record for investor buyers.
See it maintained, not degraded
Professionally cleaned and photo-inspected after every single stay, rather than once a year at checkout.

Why us
The skills thisactually runs on.
Oscar's background is professional recruitment, where the entire job is responsiveness, follow-through, and managing dozens of live client relationships at once without dropping any of them. Charlotte's is adult social care, managing a complex caseload with formal safeguarding and risk-management responsibility, and handling sensitive personal data to public-sector standards.
We've taken both of those straight into short-let management, because that is exactly what this business runs on. Guests answered in minutes. Cleaners coordinated to the hour. Every guest vetted and verified. And a landlord who never has to chase us for an update.
Based in Virginia Water
We know these towns street by street, from Reading's contractor demand to which Windsor roads command a premium.
Working in conjunction with a national operator
We operate using the systems and standards of a network managing 50+ short-let units across the UK.
Every projection built from live data
We use PriceLabs and Property Market Intel. We never estimate.

Our staging labour is free, which typically saves £1,000 to £3,000 against a staging company. You cover only the cost of any furnishings needed, agreed with you in advance.
Three-month initial term so the listing has time to build reviews and ranking. Rolling 30 days' notice after that. You are never locked in long term.
If your short-let income does not beatyour previous rent within 90 days, wewaive our entire management fee until it does.
