My name is Remi, and I am the local business owner for Pass the Keys North Kensington. My team and I are here to help you with every aspect of your short-letting journey.

I know how important it is to have a local manager you can trust who is easy to get hold of. You want someone who can be there quickly in an emergency, ensuring faster fixes and a smooth experience for both you and your guests. The last thing you need is a property manager who is miles away and can’t respond promptly to issues. That's why being local is at the core of our service.

Of course, being local can mean that our team is not always as large as some of the bigger, less-specialised agencies. However, this is precisely what allows us to offer a truly personalised, hands-on service. We are not just a face in a crowd; we are your dedicated, local partners, always just a phone call away.

Here are the ways Pass the Keys North Kensington is truly local:

• We are a local business owner and team: My team and I live and work right here in North Kensington, so we are always close by.
• We attend viewings: We'll meet you at your property to offer an honest and accurate income projection.
• Local knowledge = higher earnings: Our deep understanding of North Kensington's calendar and events allows us to maximise your earnings.
• Boots on the ground means faster fixes: We can respond to issues quickly and effectively, ensuring your property is always in top condition.

Meet your local business owner and team

I’m Remi, the owner of Pass the Keys North Kensington. Backed by the UK’s leading short-let management company, rated 4.9/5 on Trustpilot, my team and I specialise in maximising returns for property owners while delivering five-star guest experiences.

With years of experience working across Kensington & Chelsea and an in-depth understanding of the short-let market in North Kensington, I know how to position properties to attract the right guests, optimise occupancy, and protect your investment. Having lived in West London for many years, I bring local knowledge and insight that ensures every property we manage stands out and every guest feels at home.

Boots on the ground means faster fixes

Our local presence is crucial for handling unexpected issues. I'll never forget the call from a host named Sarah who was panicking after her guest reported a burst pipe. It was a stressful situation, but because we were just minutes away, my team was on-site in under 20 minutes. We coordinated with a local plumber we trust, and the leak was fixed within two hours. Without our swift, local response, Sarah would have had to cancel the guest's stay, which would have cost her an estimated £950 in lost income and potential cancellation fees. Our quick action saved the day and ensured her property was safe.

Local knowledge = higher earnings

North Kensington's calendar is full of exciting events, and knowing about them can significantly boost your income. For example, during the Notting Hill Carnival, our team knew exactly when to adjust pricing to capitalise on the huge demand for accommodation. By tweaking our pricing strategy, we saw an average daily rate (ADR) surge of £35 per night for our hosts during that period. This is the kind of local insight that a distant, generic agency simply can't provide.

Help navigating short-letting regulations in North Kensington

Navigating short-letting regulations can be a headache, but as your local expert, I'm here to guide you through them. North Kensington falls under the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, which has specific rules regarding short-term lets. For example, properties can only be let for up to 90 nights a year without a change of use application. We recently helped a host named David, who was worried about being compliant. We guided him through the regulations, set up a booking calendar that automatically blocks out dates after the 90-night limit, and ensured he was fully compliant. David told us he felt a huge sense of relief knowing he was in safe hands.

Local means a better experience for guests

Being local also means we can provide a better experience for your guests. We've compiled a welcome pack full of our favourite local cafes, restaurants, and hidden gems. We believe this personal touch makes a huge difference. For example, a guest recently lost their phone while exploring Portobello Market. They called us in a panic, and we were able to help them retrace their steps and even connected them with a local shop owner we know, who had found the phone. Our local connections and ability to be there in an emergency made a stressful situation into a positive one for the guest.

Giving back to the local community

I believe in giving back to the community that supports us. We've been mentioned in the local press, including the Kensington and Chelsea Review, for our work with local businesses. We also make a point of using local tradespeople and services wherever possible, helping to support the North Kensington economy.
