We have a 4 bed property and Emerson helped us switch it from a long-term let to a Holiday Let. We'd been anxious about the new no-fault eviction laws and weren't sure what to do, but the whole transition was smooth. The property is already booking up 4 months straight. Really happy we made the move.
Where do I start, Emerson is the best at what he does and not only does he provide honest feedback he delivers on his promises.
He provides a bespoke and tailored experience from the get go making your experience feel unique and really takes on the management role from an owners perspective rather than a third party. Making you feel like the asset is in the safest of hands.
You feel like he never sleeps as he is always on hand with any queries/ support needed along with making analytical recommendations which sets him apart from all competition.
I cannot recommend ETRE enough to anyone else considering, from my experience you will not regret it.
Emerson has been managing 9 properties including an HMO property with complete compliance of the Reading Borough Council rules and regulations and liasing with them perfectly. He does all the maintenance work in the most economical ways and is fully transparent with all costs.
Emerson is thorough in his dealings with all properties and the best bit is manages to get the best rental prices.
We have 5 bed property. Emerson helped us transition from a long term to a short term rental. We were anxious about the new laws on no fault evictions. The property is booking till July august already.
1000% recommended!
We have a 1 bedroom flat Reading city Centre at high standard and we wanted to maintain it running it as a service accommodation, and it's running as a Airbnb for 7 months now, Emerson has been really helpful, knowledgeable for our property making a higher return than our alternative option (buy to let), maintaining the high standard condition of our property.
Super happy with service 🎉

Mortgages fixed at 1.8% are rolling onto 5.9%, and the tax lands on money you never made; investors call it “phantom income”. None of it stops your properties from earning more. They only stop a buy-to-let landlord from earning more.
ADI Ltd handed over a 10 bedroom property. We took it on the way an owner would, not a third party. The booking calendar tells the rest.
Emerson is the best at what he does, and not only does he provide honest feedback, he delivers on his promises.

A 10 bedroom house is a different animal. Get it wrong and it sits empty, gets damaged, or eats your margin in cleaning bills. We took it on the way we'd take on our own. That means honest feedback when something isn't working, analytical recommendations backed by booking data, and a hands-on approach the average letting agent simply can't match. The owner doesn't lift a phone. The property runs like a boutique hotel.
Your calendar, your call. Block your own dates and stay between bookings. If you change course, there's no need to unwind. Every stay is set up as a guest booking, not a tenancy.
Guest vetting. Security deposit for each stay. Signed digital inventory at turnover. Before-and-after video. Seasonal inspections with a written report.
EICR, gas certificate, EPC, fire risk assessment, and PAT testing were arranged during the switch. Council letters were answered in writing for you. Nine properties, one an HMO, already run this way under Reading Borough Council rules.
With control and condition locked, the income follows: 30% above your net buy-to-let income in year one, or your furniture and decoration refunded in full. In your signed contract.
5 bedroom property. Long term let to serviced accommodation in under 30 days. Calendar filling 4 months ahead on real, paying nights.

Azim had a five bed sitting under a long term let. With the Renters' Rights Bill and the end of no-fault evictions rewriting the rules underneath him, the whole portfolio felt fragile. We switched the property to serviced accommodation in under 30 days. Furnished and photographed it to a 5-star standard, listed it across 35+ booking platforms, and built a live calendar he can see for himself. He's now booked through July and August on real, paying nights.
The numbers, the risks, and who this is not for.
If you are comparing agents this week, ask each one for these clauses in writing.
30% above your net buy-to-let income in year one, or your furniture and decoration refunded in full. Worst case, you own a professionally furnished property, paid for by us.
Our average client, not our best one, sits 50% above their net buy-to-let baseline after five months with us.
Below 4 stars, you stop paying us until we're back above 4.5. Every guest rates the property after their stay. So, our fee depends on your property's condition, as stated in the contract. No small print. Tracked live from platform data. Across our properties, reviews sit above 4.8.
If the guarantees read fair to you, booking a call is the right next step.
You didn’t build a bad portfolio; the model around it changed. We began in 2022, after seeing careful property investors lose control of assets they had spent years paying off. Since then, we’ve hosted over 3,000 guests. Our properties range from studios to a ten-bedroom house across Reading and the Thames Valley.

We onboard a small number of properties each month, because the switch takes 30 days and we do it properly.

Everything a typical agent does, plus the work that protects your property and lifts your income.
Self-managing “starts to feel like buying yourself another job”. Those are an investor's words.
The services above are that job, done by us. The fee is a share of the income we generate; no income, no fee. Cleaning and maintenance pass through at cost, with no markup.

The honest answer: not always. Here is how we find out before either side commits.

The report is free because it is how both sides find out whether a property suits before committing. If the maths does not work, we tell you in writing, and that is the end of it.

"Our one-bed in Reading city centre has run as an Airbnb for seven months, making a higher return than the buy-to-let option, and kept to the same high standard. Super happy."
Seven months in, a higher return than the buy-to-let she compared us against.
Reading demand runs all year. The tech corridor is busy midweek. The University hosts graduations and open days. The Festival sells out the town. Plus, the Elizabeth line goes right into central London. We price a flat in the town centre near the station differently than a family home in Caversham. This is because different guests value different things. Most of Reading isn’t under the 90-night cap. We still check planning use, council tax versus business rates, fire safety, and Article 4 for each address.
Covering Caversham, Earley, Woodley, Wokingham, Henley-on-Thames and Bracknell.
"Emerson manages nine of our properties, including an HMO, in full compliance with Reading Borough Council. He does the maintenance the most economical way, and is transparent on every cost."
Nine properties and a licensed HMO, fully compliant, one point of contact.
Our fee is a percentage of the income we generate: no income, no fee. Setup and furniture are quoted upfront. Cleaning and maintenance are at cost, with no markup. The Holiday Let Report lists the expected costs for your property before you decide on anything.
A standard buy-to-let policy won't cover holiday lets. So, the property needs special reclassified cover. We mention this on the first call, before you commit. Each stay includes guest ID verification and a security deposit. Every turnover is recorded with a signed inventory and video.
We include a fire risk assessment in the compliance pack we finish during the 30-day switch. This also covers the EICR, gas certificate, EPC, and PAT testing. Nothing goes live until the pack is done, and the file is yours to keep.
Many buy-to-let mortgages need consent to holiday-let use or a product switch. The Holiday Let Report checks mortgage terms. If you need consent, we inform you before you commit, not after. Getting this wrong is exactly the kind of slip we exist to prevent.
Two answers, both in writing. The Revenue Guarantee covers the first 12 months fully. If the income lands below 30% over your net buy-to-let baseline, you get a refund for your furniture and decoration. The Plan B Clause means no lock-in. You just give one month's notice. Then, return the property guest-ready or sold with vacant possession when it suits you.
