S J Charles Property Management: Whether your Second Home is in Cornwall, the Cotswolds or Beyond, We Will Keep it in Immaculate Condition
We believe owning a second property should feel like a privilege, not a burden. That’s why S J Charles Property Management’s second home services are designed to take the stress out of maintaining your holiday home, weekend cottage, or countryside retreat, for those in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, by the coast in Cornwall, or tucked away in a secret Cotswolds spot that not many know about.
With over 30 years of experience in property management, we specialise in looking after second homes of all shapes and sizes.From modest flats and terrace houses to stunning manor houses, lodges and barn conversions, we’re proud to support property owners throughout the UK, not just in local regions surrounding the Cotswolds. We tailor every service to suit your property and preferences, whether you live just down the road or halfway across the globe.

Reliable, Flexible & Fully Tailored Support

Yes, we provide emergency response for issues such as leaks, heating failures, or security concerns, so problems can be dealt with quickly rather than waiting until your next visit.
Yes, many owners use their property personally for part of the year and let it out for the rest. We can build a package that covers both, including key holding and inspections between personal visits and full guest management during let periods.
