Questions
Letting your Barnes home
Local answers for owners in SW13.
Do you take on homes in Barnes?
Yes. We take on a small number of homes in and around Barnes, so each one gets proper attention. Book an appraisal and we’ll visit, walk through the home with you and show you what it could earn.
Can I short let a leasehold flat?
Many leases restrict short lets, so we read yours as part of the appraisal and tell you plainly what it allows before anything goes live.
How much could my home earn?
It depends on the size, finish and time of year. At the appraisal we give you an honest figure, based on what comparable homes earn and on our own results across London.
Can I still use my home?
Yes. Block out dates in the owner app whenever you want the home for yourself or family, and we let the rest.
Do you arrange corporate lets?
Yes. We work with a range of partners to place corporate guests, which keeps your home earning between short stays.
