WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT US
The process dealing with Steve and Kate was seamless and professional. Steve and Kate were transparent throughout, presented all the information upfront and stayed on time. The transition to get them into the property was effortless. From the start they have been prompt and accurate with all rent payments. I have encountered zero risk during the COVID-19 period, which as a Landlord is exactly what I need. Also, communication has been superb removing the need for a Letting Agent, further reducing costs. I would recommend Kate and Steve as a team to anyone looking for a hassle free method to get cashflow on their properties. Thanks again guys.

Area ManagerI couldn’t be happier with the service that Steve, Kate and Zena have provided. As somebody who is either frequently away or extremely busy, they have given me a real peace of mind that my property is in safe hands. The transition from a lived-in home to a now stylish short term let was smooth sailing with Kate’s design skills and Steve’s handywork. Payments each month have been accurate and timely and their communication has been simply superb. Any issues on either side have been efficiently resolved and they are a delight to work with. I’d highly recommend Kate, Zena and Steve to anyone who is considering using their property as serviced accommodation

ArmyWe have been long term landlords focused on standard BTL strategy and had zero experience in the world of Service Accommodation. Having decided to try this strategy for our flat in Harrogate we were naturally apprehensive and looking for find a local partner that we could work with.
It was fortunate for us that the first team we spoke with were Steve and Kate from KIST. From the first conversation we were impressed with their professionalism and the honest conversations on what we should expect with SA in Harrogate. We were convinced there and then that they were the right team for us. Not only did they agree to manage the property once it was ready, they also agreed to project manage the refurb. The refurb turned into a bit of a nightmare due to a rogue builder we had appointed that Steve had to manage. We eventually walked the builder off site and Steve had more reliable people ready to start the work for us.
Kate and Zena handled the interior decorating giving us lots of ideas and always consulting us on designs, colour schemes and prices.
At all times there was honest and open communication so we never felt that the project was running away from us.
Since the property has gone live, they have been so innovative with the marketing and management of the property that we have bookings until July 2023.
I don’t think you will find anyone better to work with in the area.

LandlordsThe Kist Accommodates team have been an absolute dream to work with. During an extended period away with work they got my flat up to their high standards, created excellent online portfolios for a verity of booking options, and have provided seamless maintenance and support ever since. They are a team I can happily trust to look after my property and who have provided a consistent stream of income, even in months I’ve been staying there myself. I cannot rate Steve, Kate and Zena highly enough and look forward to our continued success together.
