The right route depends on the property, location, owner objectives and the Welsh rules that apply. We assess the address before recommending short stays, a long term tenancy or a staged plan.
A Cardiff Bay apartment, a Cathays HMO and a Pontcanna family home serve different demand. We assess the property before suggesting a letting model.
Short lets need active pricing, guest communication, cleaning coordination and fast issue handling between stays.
Longer tenancies need marketing, referencing, tenancy administration, inspections, maintenance and owner reporting.
The operating plan follows the Welsh rules that apply to the chosen stay or tenancy, rather than treating short stays and long term rentals as the same product.

Yes, we manage properties across Cardiff locations including city centre, Cardiff Bay, Pontcanna, Cathays and surrounding areas.
We prepare the listing, manage pricing and availability, handle guest messages and arrange cleaning and maintenance. You receive statements and booking updates. The service covers Airbnb and other booking platforms, with an operating plan that follows the Welsh rules for the property.
For long term tenancies, we handle marketing, enquiries, referencing and tenancy setup. Short stay guests follow the booking platform and property house rules, with communication and property access coordinated through the management service.
We assess the address, property type and intended letting model. The September 2026 Cardiff Short Let Index tracks forward availability across 278 homes observed on 1 September 2026, while official rent and sale series provide separate long term market context.
We coordinate cleaning, repairs and property checks. Urgent guest issues are handled through the operating team and local contractors, with material events reported to the owner.
We start with photography, listing setup and an operating plan. If the property already has bookings or tenants, we plan the handover around them.
Short let management starts at 18% on the flexible plan and falls to 11% on the 24 month plan, plus £30 a month. All pricing excludes VAT. Long term management is 10%, with a setup fee of half of the first month's rent. Both charges exclude VAT.
For long term tenancies we keep marketing and enquiries moving. For short stays we review rates, minimum stays and availability. Demand and vacancy still depend on the address, condition, price and market conditions.
