At Clark Anderson Properties, we know that every property owner’s situation is unique. Some prefer the reassurance of a full-service management package, while others want to stay more involved, choosing their own suppliers, keeping direct oversight, and maintaining control of day-to-day operations.
That’s exactly why we created Flex Management — a new, transparent way to work with us. It’s everything you’d expect from a professional management company, with the freedom to run your property your way.
Why Did We Create Flex?
The short-term let market has changed dramatically in Scotland. New licensing requirements, increased costs, and tighter regulations have reshaped the industry, and many owners are now looking for new ways to stay profitable without losing quality.
We listened to our owners and recognised a clear need: a simpler, more affordable management solution that still delivers expert support.
That’s what Flex is designed to do. It bridges the gap between self-management and full management, giving owners the systems and structure they need without the overheads that come with a commission model.
How Flex Works
The concept is simple.
For a flat monthly fee of £195 + VAT, we take care of the guest-facing side of your business. Everything from listing management and pricing optimisation to guest communication and review handling.
You remain in charge of your cleaning, laundry, and maintenance, meaning you stay connected to your property’s operations while we handle everything digital and guest-related.
What You Get With Flex.
Full Listing Management – Your property is listed and managed on major platforms including Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO, as well as our direct website.
• Professional Guest Communication – Our team handles enquiries, confirmations, and messages throughout the guest journey.
• Expert Revenue Management – We monitor pricing daily and adjust rates based on demand, season, and local events to maximise your returns.
• Review Management – We respond professionally to guest reviews to maintain your reputation and ranking.
• Owner Portal Access – You’ll have complete visibility of bookings, calendars, and earnings via our secure system.
• Direct Payouts – You receive all booking payments directly through your OTA accounts.
The Benefits of Choosing Flex.
Cost Control
The biggest advantage of Flex is transparency. You pay one flat monthly fee. No commissions, no percentage deductions, no surprises. It allows you to forecast your costs confidently, regardless of how many bookings you receive.
Freedom & Control
With Flex, you decide who cleans your property, which suppliers you use, and how maintenance is managed. You stay in control of your property, while we handle the systems and the guests.
Professional Support
Managing listings, messages, and pricing can be time consuming. With Flex, you still benefit from our experience and technology, ensuring your property remains competitive and well-presented across all booking channels.
No Long-Term Tie-Ins
The agreement runs on a rolling monthly basis with just four weeks’ notice required. It’s a partnership that continues only as long as it works for you.
Ideal for Experienced Hosts
Flex was built with hands-on owners in mind. Those who already have reliable cleaning or maintenance teams but want to grow bookings and save time managing guest communication.
Who is Flex For?
Flex is perfect for:
• Owners who already have trusted cleaners or local suppliers
• Investors managing multiple properties
• Owners outside Scotland (where licensing restrictions don’t yet apply)
• Anyone who wants to stay active in their property’s operation but reduce admin work
It’s also a smart choice for those wanting to test professional management for the first time, without committing to a commission-based structure.
Flex vs. Full Management
Both Flex and our All Inclusive Management Packages are built on the same Clark Anderson principles: professionalism, transparency, and performance. The difference is how much you want to be involved.
Flex = Control.
All Inclusive = Convenience.
Both are professional. Both deliver results. The difference lies in how you want to run your business.
A Real Partnership
With Flex, you don’t hand over your property, you work alongside us. It’s a partnership that combines your operational knowledge with our marketing & operational expertise.
We focus on maximising your occupancy and pricing strategy, while you ensure guests have a well presented property to enjoy. It’s teamwork that delivers results.
The Future of Property Management
The holiday let industry is evolving and Flex represents a new era of management that’s transparent, adaptable, and designed for the modern property owner.
It’s not a compromise; it’s a smarter way to work.
By separating guest management from operations, Flex keeps you agile and profitable, ready to adapt to changes in regulation and market conditions across Scotland and beyond.
