About Key Standard

Short let management with a clearer standard.

We manage short lets across the North West, looking after guests, preparing properties and coordinating the everyday work of hosting.

Who we are

Local support for owners across the North West.

We’re an independent property management company based in Greater Manchester, helping owners across the North West set up and manage their short lets. As property owners ourselves, we understand how much thought goes into preparing a home for guests, and how quickly the day-to-day details can become difficult to keep on top of.

The standard in our name reflects how we want to work: caring for each property, helping guests feel welcome and keeping owners informed. We pay attention to the details, communicate regularly and agree costs clearly, so you can feel confident about how your home is being looked after.

What we believe

Your property should be looked after as carefully as your guests.

Good short let management is not just replying to messages. It is clear ownership, reliable preparation, sensible decisions and a guest experience that protects your property and your reviews.

01

You stay in control

You remain the property owner and keep visibility of the important decisions. We agree the service scope, approval limits and payment arrangements before work begins.

02

Costs stay clear

Management fees, cleaning, linen, contractor costs and any agreed coordination charge are set out clearly, so you know what is being paid for and why.

03

Guests are properly supported

From information before arrival to welcoming guests, support during their stay and reviews, we coordinate the details that help a guest feel confident and cared for.

How we work

Clear management. Transparent pricing.

Whether you are launching a property or already hosting, we agree the service tier, management fee, onboarding scope, supplier costs and approval limits before work begins, so you always know what is included and what you are paying for.
