Holiday Let Management in Kent
Holiday Let Management for Kent Owners
Kent has long been a leisure county. Canterbury Cathedral, Leeds Castle and the white cliffs at Dover draw visitors, while seaside towns such as Whitstable, Margate, Broadstairs and Deal keep coastal breaks busy from spring to autumn. Vineyards and the Weald add a quieter side. For owners of a coastal flat, a village cottage or an inherited house, a holiday let can be a practical option.
We already operate in Sevenoaks, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge, as part of 50 properties under management across London, Surrey, Kent and Essex. Our team is founder-led and has three years of hands-on experience, covering listings, pricing, guest communication, cleaning, maintenance and check-in.

2. Presentation and Listing: Listing creation, photography guidance and presentation advice help your property stand out to coast and countryside guests.
3. Platforms and Direct Marketing: We list across major booking platforms and our direct channels, with social media and email campaigns reaching over 2,000 guests.
4. Stay Management: Secure check-in, 24/7 guest support, cleaning and maintenance are coordinated by one team.
What Our Holiday Let Management Covers in Kent
Between guests, cleaners reset the property to a consistent standard and take photos before and after every clean, which gives you a clear record of each changeover. Maintenance goes through trusted local teams and is agreed with you first, whether it is a boiler fault at a coastal flat or a garden job at a village cottage.
Verified ID, a refundable damage deposit and a signed rental agreement are in place for every booking. Our 24/7 guest services team deals with queries, late arrivals and anything unexpected, so guests are looked after even when you are not available. Secure check-in systems let guests arrive on their own schedule, whether they have come off a ferry, a train or a long coastal drive, and ongoing support continues through every stay.
Why Kent Owners Choose Rich Property
Many Kent owners did not plan to become landlords. A second home, a family house or a property you can no longer visit often is easier to keep when someone dependable looks after it. We take on the guest-facing work and keep you informed without drowning you in detail.
Our experience in Sevenoaks, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge means we know how Kent's towns behave differently from its coast. Our Fees page explains how we charge, and we avoid income promises, because no manager can honestly guarantee bookings. Our service suits owners of second homes, accidental landlords and anyone ready to leave an agency or stop managing guests themselves, as long as the property can lawfully be let this way.
Holiday Let Demand and Rules in Kent
Kent's holiday demand is strongly seasonal on the coast and steadier inland, where historic towns, gardens and the Weald draw weekend visitors. Councils do not all take the same stance, and Royal Tunbridge Wells is among those reviewing its short-term let position during 2026. We check each property individually rather than assuming one answer for the whole county.
Two national changes are worth knowing about. The register of short-term lets for England is due to be fully operational by March 2027, with details not yet final, and the furnished holiday lettings tax regime ended on 6 April 2025. Please confirm your mortgage and insurance cover holiday letting too, and check GOV.UK rather than treating this page as legal advice.
