Fully Managed vs Self-Managed — Which Works Best for You?

When it comes to letting your property, one of the first decisions you’ll face is how much of the work you want to do yourself. There are two main approaches: fully managed or self-managed.

🔑 Fully Managed
We handle everything for you. Tenant sourcing, rent collection, inspections, maintenance, legal compliance — all of it. This is perfect if you want a hands-off approach, less stress, and the confidence that professionals are looking after your property.

🛠 Self-Managed
You stay in control. You advertise, vet tenants, deal with maintenance, and handle rent collection. This can save on management fees, but it takes time, effort, and organisation.

💡 Which works best?
Got limited time or multiple properties? Fully managed keeps you sane.
Enjoy hands-on involvement and want to save on fees? Self-managed could suit.
Either way, knowing the pros and cons helps you avoid costly mistakes and stress down the line.

If you’re planning to buy a home soon, you might assume the best place to start is on the property portals, Rightmove, Zoopla, or OnTheMarket. But the truth is, the savviest buyers are seeing homes long before they ever appear online. Here’s why registering with an agent puts you one step ahead.

When you’re buying your first home, you’ll quickly come across two words that can make things a little confusing — freehold and leasehold. Understanding the difference could save you a few surprises (and a few thousand pounds) later on.

Thinking of letting your property in the next few days, weeks or months? That’s a smart move if done right. Letting brings opportunity, but there are also responsibilities. If you prepare now, you’ll get better returns, fewer surprises, and less stress.

Selling for the first time can feel overwhelming. Everyone has advice, most of it conflicting. Here are the key questions to ask every estate agent, plus the step-by-step process you’ll go through to launch your home the right way.
