Property Management, Without the Hassle

Choosing Cambridge Key Living means working with a Cambridge-based property company focused on clear processes, long-term thinking, and responsible property management. We work with landlords seeking a hands-off approach, providing structured rental arrangements designed to deliver stability and clarity from the outset.

Our approach is built around high standards, clear communication, and taking responsibility for the properties we manage, ensuring landlords can step back while knowing their asset is being handled properly.


Our Approach

We believe property management should be straightforward, transparent, and properly structured. Rather than short-term fixes, we focus on clear processes, consistent oversight, and long-term care of each property.

We take responsibility for the management side, maintaining open communication and realistic expectations throughout, so landlords always understand how their property is being managed.


Guaranteed Rent and Hands-Off Management

For landlords seeking simplicity and predictability, we offer structured rental arrangements designed to provide stable income and remove the day-to-day involvement of managing a property.

Guaranteed Rent

  • Agreed monthly rent paid for the duration of the arrangement

  • Rent paid regardless of occupancy for the agreed term

  • No day-to-day management involvement required

  • No traditional letting or management commission charged

  • Clear responsibilities set out from the outset

  • Ongoing oversight of the property throughout the agreement

  • Single point of contact for property management

Our focus is on providing stability and clarity, rather than short-term fixes or inflated promises.

We understand that every landlord’s situation is different. Contract lengths and management arrangements are discussed on a case-by-case basis, allowing terms to be agreed that suit your property, your circumstances, and your longer-term plans.

Our focus is on putting clear, sensible agreements in place from the start, with transparency around expectations on both sides.


What We Take Care Of

Depending on the agreed arrangement, our role may include day-to-day property oversight, maintenance coordination, condition monitoring, and ongoing communication.

We operate with the mindset that if we manage a property, we take responsibility for it.


Who We Work With

Our services are best suited to landlords who value clarity, accountability, and a hands-off approach to property ownership. If you are looking for stability, clear communication, and a professional management structure, our approach may be a good fit.


A Local, Considered Approach

Operating across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire, we focus on understanding each property and situation individually. There is no one-size-fits-all model. We aim to match the right management approach to the right property.

Everything we do is built around transparency, accountability, and doing things properly from the outset.

What is guaranteed rent?
Guaranteed rent means an agreed monthly rent is paid for the duration of the arrangement, regardless of whether the property is occupied. This provides predictable income and removes day-to-day involvement in managing the property.
