By partnering with Tom, Clare, and the Pass the Keys Chichester team, you leverage the operational power of the UK’s leading professional management service, ensuring faster response times, higher occupancy, and flawless guest experiences.
Tom and Clare live and work right here in Chichester. This gives them an invaluable, first-hand understanding of the local property market, hyper-local neighborhood demand, and seasonal fluctuations.
Unlike large, national agencies that rely on remote coordinators or automated call centers, Tom and Clare attend every single property onboarding and visit listings in person. There is absolutely no outsourcing or remote-only management.
Their unique formula combines deep local expertise with state-of-the-art, national tech-backed systems to deliver:
A guest recently reported a sudden burst pipe in a holiday cottage situated just outside Chichester. Because Tom lives locally and was only 15 minutes away, he reached the property immediately, shut off the main water supply, and coordinated emergency repairs within 2 hours. This rapid action saved the host £950 in potential cancellations and severe water damage.
During the world-famous Goodwood Festival of Speed, Tom and Clare manually adjusted nightly rates to capture the massive surge in regional demand, adding an average of £80 per night across participating properties. Under this strategy, a two-bedroom apartment in central Chichester earned over £1,000 in just four days.
