Before you purchase you holiday home / retirement investment, we can inform you of the best approach in Cornwall.

Specialising in finding the perfect holiday home

Since Fixer began operating in holiday home services, the industry has evolved from simple seaside boltholes, to boutique, luxury holiday destinations, making the competition fierce and the demand very high.

For potential buyers and investors looking to purchase a holiday home, the ideal situation is to engage our buying services at the first instance; making sure the purchase is ‘the right one’. We 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 often being based out of county. We can gain an understanding of suitability for holiday let based on our local knowledge and long-term expertise in this industry.

These are just some of things we will consider -

What is your overall aim - purely business or a second home to enjoy?

We will consider your personal family preferences as well as future plans for the property. Many clients are looking for their eventual forever home while others wish to buy a portfolio of investments to perhaps serve as a pension fund.

We received advice when buying and setting up our two properties in Falmouth, and this has proved invaluable. We have been delighted with the professional service provided from Katie. I would highly recommend Fixer Property & Management to anyone buying and owning a holiday let.D Seaman – Client

Will it be a good holiday let?

A holiday home needs to meet certain criteria to be successful – from the layout to the parking; from the maintenance to the demand – we’ve got it covered.

Is it the right location?

We’ve all heard the phrase location, location, location, and this cannot be truer of the holiday home destination. Buying in the wrong area can cost you thousands, and having someone with local knowledge will immediately know the success rate of certain areas in Cornwall.

What rates will you achieve?

Let’s work out the rates and return on investment from the outset. Realistic by nature, we are honest with rates in the market and what is truly achievable and for how many weeks.

"We have been thoroughly impressed with high level of professionalism and service that we have received. We are new to the business of holiday lets and Katie and her team have helped us every step of the way, from accompanying us on viewings, helping us to make a purchase and then managing the complete renovation of the property. We have had many questions along the way and we have always been provided with prompt and reliable information……we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else."M Prince – Client

Which marketing agent will you use?

With so many booking platforms and holiday let agencies; the standard of property suits a certain marketing platform to attract certain guests. With our knowledge and contact book in Cornwall we can introduce you to the right agent for you.

Are you a hands on or hands off buyer?

This is important to discuss in terms of management, the changeovers, the linen, the safety reports. Is this something to be managed personally or will you be looking to contract a managing agent? Buying the property is actually the easy part; running it as a successful business is what takes harder work.

What renovations/interiors need to be done?

By being on hand during the sales process and knowing what standard we need to achieve in this competitive market also needs to be factored in. With a team of people working alongside us we can provide quotes for all building and interior works.

What is the Real Cost?

Taking into account these points allows us to paint a clear picture of the ROI, as well as forecast an approximate three year plan from set up to fully functioning. This means you can financially plan in advance as well as being able to make informed decisions along the way.

Fixer Property & Management breaks each of these key points down so clients can see the picture as a whole – looking at the ROI and feasibility, before then being able to project manage the set up and launch using our trusted contractors and suppliers, giving your property the edge and head start over others nearby.
