Established in 2012, Fixer Property and Management is a company that handles all aspects of private and holiday home requirements.

Operating in Cornwall, Fixer Management stands unrivalled in the field of handling all aspects of private and holiday home requirements. This unique company excels as a buying agent, helping clients find the perfect seaside retreat or portfolio investment. It offers a truly bespoke and exclusive service, ensuring a seamless and simple purchasing and planning process. From interior works and safety legislation to day-to-day management, they provide comprehensive support to owners, making the purchasing and planning process seamless and simple to navigate.

For those looking to purchase a holiday home, engaging Fixer Management’s buying services will ensure that your choice is ‘the right one’. They’ll liaise with the local estate agencies, often sourcing properties off market or before they hit the major websites and undertake viewings, saving valuable travel time for clients who are often based out of county. Their extensive local knowledge and long-term expertise enable them to understand the suitability of properties for holiday letting.

The process begins by understanding the client’s overall aim – whether it’s purely a business investment or a holiday home for personal enjoyment. They’ll take into account family preferences and future plans for the property. Many clients are in search of their eventual forever home, while others are looking to build a portfolio of investments that could serve as a pension fund. The suitability of a property as a holiday let is another critical consideration. A successful holiday home must meet specific criteria, from layout and parking to maintenance and demand. 

The location of a holiday home is paramount. The phrase “location, location, location” is particularly true in the context of holiday home destinations. Buying in the wrong area can result in significant financial losses. Fixer Management’s local knowledge enables them to assess the success rate of different areas in Cornwall. It’s crucial to avoid residential areas or places oversaturated with holiday lets to maximise investment.

Fixer Management also helps clients determine the potential rates and return on investment. Being realistic and honest, they provide accurate estimates of market rates and achievable occupancy weeks. Choosing the right marketing agent is another vital step. With numerous booking platforms and holiday let agencies available, the standard of a property should align with the appropriate marketing platform to attract the right guests. Their extensive network and contacts in Cornwall allow them to introduce clients to the best agent for their needs.

Understanding whether a client is a hands-on or hands-off buyer is crucial in terms of management. Discussing this aspect helps Fixer Management determine the level of involvement a client will have in changeovers, linen and safety reports. Deciding whether to manage these aspects personally or contract a managing agent is essential. Buying the property is just the beginning; running it as a successful business requires hard work and dedication.

Renovations and interior needs are also a significant consideration. Being involved during the sales process allows Fixer Management to identify the standard required to compete in this market. With their team, they provide quotes for all building and interior works through their sister company Warren French Interiors. Understanding the real cost of an investment is critical. By considering all these points, they create a clear picture of the return on investment, forecasting an approximate three-year plan from setup to full functionality. This allows clients to financially plan in advance, make informed decisions, and understand the legislation and regulations of holiday letting.

Fixer Management is ideally suited to provide a comprehensive and tailored approach, making it the premier choice for anyone looking to invest in or manage a holiday home in Cornwall. Their dedication to understanding client needs and delivering a top-notch service sets them apart, ensuring that every aspect of holiday home ownership is handled with the utmost professionalism and care.
