Day-to-day Operations
Coordination of property maintenance — we organize tradesmen and deal with minor problems so you don’t need to.
Short-stay management
Your classic rental could earn 2-3x more a month.
Cedar & Key works with landlords based in the Home Counties, specifically in Surrey, West Kent & West/East Sussex generate 2 – 3x their projected AST monthly income using short term stays. We take care of the day-to-day management from guest communication and bookings, to cleaning, maintenance and inspections so you don’t have to.
Just sit back, relax and let us take the stress & strain for you.
Why are Landlords switching to Short-term stays?
High interest rates reducing rental revenue and return on investment.
Poor property market has led to increased rental voids and high risk & uncertainty
Renters Rights Act has made it more difficult to let property and made it heavily reliant on ‘good’ tenants paying rent on time
