What Is Fixed-Term Letting?
A Single Extended Booking, Not a Rolling Calendar
Our standard holiday let management is built around a rolling calendar of nightly and weekly guest stays. Fixed-term letting is different: we source and reference one guest for a single extended tenancy, running for a minimum of three months. It suits owners who need their property looked after and earning for a defined period, rather than an ongoing series of short-stay bookings.
Long-Term Travellers
Taking an extended trip or career break and want your property to keep earning instead of sitting empty.
Working Abroad
Heading overseas for a work secondment or contract and need someone trustworthy managing things back home.
Sabbaticals & Career Breaks
Taking time out to travel, study, or recharge, and want your property to help fund the break.
Between Houses
In the gap between selling and buying, or waiting on a renovation, and want rental income rather than an empty property.
Why Owners Choose Us
Managed With Care, Wherever You Are
We know first-hand what owners abroad need from a letting agent — clarity, responsiveness, and someone they can trust without having to chase updates.
Cover Costs or Fund Travel
A single extended booking generates steady income that can cover your mortgage, bills, and running costs — or simply help pay for your trip.
One Vetted Tenant, Not a Rolling Calendar
Unlike nightly holiday letting, we source and reference a single longer-term guest for your property, rather than managing back-to-back short stays.
Managed Wherever You Are
We have real experience managing fixed-term lets for owners living abroad, across different time zones — you stay fully informed without needing to be reachable during UK hours.
WhatsApp-First Communication
We use WhatsApp as our primary channel for updates, so you get quick, convenient contact that fits around your schedule, wherever in the world you are.
Proven Experience Managing Owners Abroad
We've successfully managed fixed-term lets for owners based overseas, in time zones many hours apart from the UK. We know that waiting on emails or phone calls that never quite line up with your schedule is frustrating — so we use WhatsApp as our go-to communication channel.
Quick photo updates, tenancy check-ins, and any decisions that need your input all come through in a format you can pick up whenever it suits you — no missed calls, no waiting up.
The Process
How It Works, Start to Finish
Free Consultation
Tell us your dates, your goals, and how hands-off you'd like to be. We'll confirm whether fixed-term letting suits your property.
Preparing Your Property
We handle photography, listing preparation, and pricing guidance so your property is presented professionally to prospective tenants.
Sourcing & Referencing
We find and reference a suitable tenant for your fixed term, checking suitability before anyone moves in.
Ongoing Management
We manage the tenancy for the full term — handling any issues, inspections, and communication — with regular updates sent straight to your WhatsApp.
Handover at the End
At the end of the fixed term, we manage the changeover and get your property ready for its next chapter, whether that's your return or a new letting arrangement.
This is higher than our standard 17% nightly holiday-let rate, reflecting the different scope of work: sourcing and referencing a single longer-term tenant, and managing one extended tenancy for months at a time rather than a rolling calendar of short stays. As always, no hidden charges — we only earn when you earn.
