Why this actually works

I'm an accountant.
Not a letting agent.

Most property managers are sales people who learned spreadsheets.

I'm an accountant who learned hospitality — fifteen years with numbers, then years as Chief Stew on superyachts where the standard is five-star or nothing. That's why the figures on this page are real, and why the properties actually get looked after.

Questions

Answers. Straight up.

You deal directly with me — Sophie — not a company. I'm an accountant with 15+ years' experience, my husband runs a maintenance business, and I genuinely care about your property.
It depends on the property, but real examples from my current portfolio: a Pocklington property went from £950 to £1,800/month, an Easton property from £1,600 to £3,100, a Bedminster property from £1,700 to £3,000. I'm an accountant — I'll show you the actual numbers for your property, not a sales figure.
Very little. We handle guests, cleaning, maintenance and messages. You approve anything big and watch the income arrive.
My husband runs a property maintenance company. Repairs happen fast — no waiting around.
Contractors, relocating professionals, families between homes. They stay longer, pay more, and look after the place.
Yes — Bristol-based but nationwide. Already managing in Yorkshire. Get in touch and we'll talk through your area.
