Unlock the high-yield potential of short-term letting without any of the stress. Proactive Property Management offers a complete, expert-led service for your property. Our unique team of surveying, construction, and housing professionals ensures your asset is not only profitable but also meticulously maintained. For a transparent 10% fee, we manage everything from bookings, arranging cleaning & laundry to arranging maintenance, giving you total peace of mind and an optimised return on your investment.
Protecting your investment is our top priority, and that starts with finding the right people. Our vetting process is unlike any other in the UK – we don't just do detailed employment, references & credit checks; we verify all tenants with our own eyes by visiting potential tenants in their current homes. This ensures we only place people who demonstrate real pride in where they live. We then nurture that relationship with unique incentives, like half-price rent in December for on-time payments, and fair, predictable 4.5% annual rent increases. This approach attracts high-quality tenants and encourages them to stay long-term, giving you a stable, stress-free investment.
Don't just list your property, launch it. We are essential partners for any landlord looking to convert a property to a short-term let in Morecambe. We provide a seamless transition from residential property to a profitable, high-spec holiday home. Leveraging our in-house surveying and construction expertise, we advise on and manage any required works to maximise your appeal and nightly rate. We then handle the entire setup, from photography and listing to managing your first booking, making your conversion a smooth and successful investment.

A Different Approach to Property Management
​
Proactive Property Management was born from two simple ideas. Stephen, our Operations Manager, wanted to create a better, more supportive environment for his mother, Alex, allowing her to use her 30 years of housing association experience away from the pressures of her role as a Serious Anti-Social Behaviour Officer. At the same time, John Sharples, a local businessman and landlord for many years, was growing frustrated with the poor service and hidden fees he constantly encountered from traditional management companies.
As existing business associates in construction and surveying, John and Stephen began discussing what the "perfect" property management company would look like. They envisioned a company that treated landlords with transparency and tenants with respect. When the news of the Eden Project Morecambe was announced, their vision crystallised.
​
They combined forces, with Alex and John forming a partnership. Alex brought her unparalleled expertise in tenancy management, John his decades of business acumen and surveying knowledge, and Stephen his hands-on operational and legal skills. Together, they built a service designed to solve every problem they had seen in the industry: a simple, all-inclusive 10% management fee, a tenant vetting process that includes visiting their current home, and a proactive maintenance approach backed by real construction expertise. That is the PPM promise – a company founded by landlords, for landlords, with a deep-seated commitment to doing things right. We even work with your accountant to submit your accounts!

Long Term Rental or Holiday Let?
As a landlord, your biggest decision is how to let your property. A traditional long-term tenancy offers the comfort of consistent, stable income each month with fewer changeovers and tenants who handle their own bills. It’s a proven model for a steady, hassle-free investment.
​
However, with the Eden Project on the horizon, the short-term holiday let market in Morecambe offers the potential for significantly higher income. This strategy provides incredible flexibility for you to use the property yourself, and because it's professionally cleaned after every guest, your investment is kept in immaculate condition.
​
So, which is right for you? This is where we excel. Unlike other agents who may push one model, we are experts in both. With our deep knowledge of surveying, construction, and tenancy management, we are perfectly placed to provide an honest, data-driven assessment of your specific property. We’ll help you understand the true earning potential of each option and guide you towards the strategy that best fits your financial goals.
