Stay Hosted manages 35+ short‑term rental properties across the Midlands, for property owners and on its own leases. Guests expect a hotel‑standard stay and owners expect their asset looked after. You'll be the person on the ground who makes both happen.

You’ll own maintenance across the whole portfolio. You’ll spot issues before guests do, get repairs booked and finished between stays, and handle in‑person problems when something goes wrong. Our remote guest‑communications team handles messaging. You’ll be their eyes and hands at the properties.

• Own the maintenance log for property issues. Every issue is logged, assigned, chased and closed off with photos.
• Build and manage a reliable network of local trades: plumbers, electricians, handymen, locksmiths, appliance repairers. Get quotes, negotiate prices and hold trades accountable for quality and timing.
• Schedule work around the booking calendar so no stays are lost to repairs.
• Carry out small fixes yourself where sensible, such as bulbs, batteries, flat‑pack, sealant, minor snagging and smart‑lock resets.
• Approve jobs within an agreed spending limit and escalat[e] larger jobs with a recommendation.

• Run a planned preventative maintenance schedule, for example boiler servicing, gas and electrical safety certificates, smoke and CO alarm checks, fire safety equipment, gutters and seasonal checks.
• Carry out regular property inspections and turn findings into logged actions.
• Keep an eye on inventory and consumables, and flag wear and tear before it shows up in reviews.
• Track compliance certificate expiry dates for every property.

• Attend properties for guest issues the remote team can’t fix, such as access problems, heating or hot water failures, leaks and noise or neighbour complaints.
• Take part in a fair on‑call rota for urgent evening and weekend callouts.
• Carry out post‑stay damage checks and gather evidence (photos, notes, quotes) for damage claims.

• Quality‑check cleans with spot checks and follow up on issues raised.
• Make sure cleaners report maintenance issues and make sure those reports are acted on.
• Handle guest lost property: collect it, post it back and close it off in the log.

• Support new property onboarding with set‑up snagging, key and lock installation, and property manuals such as stopcock location, boiler model and Wi‑Fi details.
• Write clear, professional updates for owners on works carried out at their properties.
