Choosing the right letting agent isn’t just about ticking boxes—it’s about protecting your investment and unlocking better returns. Before you hand over the keys, ask these seven questions to find out if an agency is truly the right fit for your property in Cambridge.


1. How Many Properties Do You Manage in Cambridge?

Experience matters—but so does local focus. An ideal agency will:

  • Have a solid track record within Cambridge itself

  • Manage a range of properties (residential, short let, commercial)

  • Show local area expertise, not just general market knowledge

Cambridge Stays manages over 30 properties—most right in the city centre.


2. What Services Are Included in the Management Fee?

Not all management packages are created equal. Ask:

  • Does the fee include marketing, renewals, inspections, and rent reviews?

  • Are there any hidden charges (admin, tenancy setup, repairs)?

We provide transparent, all-in-one packages with no surprises—ever.


3. How Do You Market My Property?

The right tenant starts with the right listing. Look for:

  • Professional photos, accurate floorplans, and compelling copy

  • Listings on Rightmove, Zoopla, Airbnb, and more

  • An understanding of SEO and target audience messaging

Cambridge Stays crafts listings that are designed to convert—fast.


4. What’s Your Average Time to Let?

Speed matters when voids cost money. Ask for:

  • Their average days on market

  • How they minimise gaps between tenancies

Our properties often let within days—because we market them with strategy and precision.


5. How Do You Handle Maintenance & Emergencies?

No landlord wants the 2 a.m. call. Find out:

  • Who handles emergency responses and how quickly

  • Whether they use trusted local tradespeople

  • If you’ll be updated or involved in decisions

Cambridge Stays offers 24/7 support and proactive maintenance management.


6. How Do You Handle Short Lets or Airbnb Management?

Even if you currently offer long lets, it’s smart to ask:

  • Do they support Airbnb-style or serviced lets?

  • Can they advise on transitioning from long to short term?

We manage both long and short lets—and help landlords explore higher-yield strategies.


7. What Do Other Landlords Say About You?

Reviews are powerful. Ask for:

  • Testimonials, Google reviews, or case studies

  • Landlord retention rate

Cambridge Stays consistently earns 5-star reviews for service, results, and communication.
