Manage all of your London properties through one team, with consistent standards, one point of contact and a clearer overview of the portfolio.
This could work for several flats in one block or a group of properties located close together, with the service shaped around the portfolio rather than each home being treated separately.
Managing several short-let properties through different agents, cleaners and contractors can become complicated very quickly.
A Place Like Home would provide one coordinated service across the properties, making day-to-day management simpler for portfolio landlords, block owners, family-owned buildings and freeholders.
Instead of speaking to different agents, housekeeping teams and contractors, you have one team overseeing the management of your portfolio.
We apply the same approach to property presentation, guest communication, housekeeping and inspections across each home.
Where properties are located in the same building or nearby, cleaning, linen and property checks can be coordinated more efficiently.
Our team can manage guest questions, access arrangements and maintenance issues without you having to coordinate several different suppliers.
Where appropriate, we can manage availability across your portfolio and match enquiries with the most suitable property.
Receive a clearer overview of bookings and performance across your properties, rather than piecing together information from several different sources.
Managing several properties through one relationship creates operational efficiencies that may allow us to offer preferential multi-unit terms.
We will then recommend a management structure and provide a clear proposal for your portfolio.
We assess each property, identify what is needed before launch and help you prepare the homes for paying guests.
We can arrange professional photography, floor plans and property descriptions, then create and manage listings across appropriate booking platforms.
We review rates and availability to reflect the individual property, season, demand and length of stay.
Our team handles enquiries, booking administration and communication before, during and after each stay.
Potential guests are reviewed in line with our booking and property requirements before a stay is accepted.
We coordinate access, property preparation and the arrangements required at the beginning and end of each booking.
Professional cleaning, fresh linen, towels and property preparation can be coordinated across your units.
We can arrange support for maintenance issues and provide local assistance when something needs attention.
You receive a consistent point of contact and clear information about the management of your properties.
Not every property has to be managed in the same way. Some owners want every unit operated as a short-term rental. Others may wish to retain long-term tenants in part of a building while making selected properties available for shorter or more flexible stays.
We can review the properties individually and consider the portfolio as a whole. This may include:
Tell us about your properties: send us the number of units, their locations and a brief outline of their current use.
We look at suitability: likely guest demand, operational requirements and any obvious practical issues
We discuss your priorities: income, flexibility, property access, simpler management or a combination of these.
You receive a tailored proposal: we explain the recommended structure, onboarding process and commercial terms.
We agree the onboarding: if you proceed, we plan how and when each property will be prepared and launched.
Our multi-unit service is aimed at owners with three or more properties that could benefit from being managed through one coordinated service.
No. Properties within one building are particularly efficient to manage, but we can also review portfolios with homes located close together or across the areas of London we cover.
Potentially, yes. We can discuss a mixed portfolio where only selected properties are available for short or flexible stays. Existing tenancy arrangements must be respected and independently reviewed where necessary.
Yes. We can review your existing listings, bookings and management arrangements before recommending the best way to transfer them.
Housekeeping, linen and property preparation can be included within the management service. The exact arrangements will be confirmed in your proposal.
Potentially, but the leases, building rules, mortgage terms, insurance and any freeholder requirements must allow the proposed use. Owners should obtain their own legal and financial advice before proceeding.
This depends on the number and condition of the properties, whether photography and listings are required, and whether they can be launched together. We will provide a proposed onboarding plan following the initial review.
Tell us about your properties and what you want to achieve. We will review the portfolio and explain how a coordinated management service could work.
