Guest Communication & Screening

Handing over the keys to your property takes trust. We get it. When landlords talk to us about moving away from long-term lets, their biggest fear almost always comes down to one question: "Who is actually going to be sleeping in my property?"

With section 21 changes and growing regulations pushing landlords toward short-term lets and holiday lets, keeping your asset protected is step number one.

At ADSProperties395, we never just open up a calendar and hope for the best. We run a strict, multi-layered guest vetting process that keeps party crowds and dodgy bookings out before they ever get near your front door.

Here is exactly how our guest screening process keeps your rental safe, spotless, and making money.

​

1. Mandatory Photographic ID Verification

We do not allow anonymous stays. Period.

Before any check-in instructions or door codes are released, the primary guest must upload a valid government-issued ID—such as a passport or UK driving licence—that matches the name on their booking profile. If the details do not match, the booking does not proceed. If guests refuse, this screams a red flag, and we instantly tell them the rules, and if they do not like this, they're not staying in one of ADSProperties395 properties.

​

2. Upfront Security Deposits

People treat a property differently when their own money is on the line.

We require guests to pay or authorise a security deposit prior to arrival.

Having skin in the game ensures guests treat your furnishings with respect, stick to the house rules, and leave the property in order when checking out.

​

3. Legally Binding Guest Rental Agreements

A booking on Airbnb or Booking.com isn't finished on a handshake.

Every guest must sign our formal short-term rental agreement before stepping foot on the property. This contract clearly sets out strict, enforceable rules on maximum occupancy limits, strict no-party policies, quiet hours, and proper property care. This also includes contractor sites, VRBO, and direct bookings.

​

4. Direct Pre-Arrival Screening & Message Vetting

Automated software is great, but human eye checks are where bad bookings get caught.

We personally message every guest to confirm the exact reason for their stay—whether they are travelling for corporate work, relocating, visiting family, or taking a weekend break. If a response seems suspicious, vague, or looks like a cover for a house party, we decline or cancel the reservation immediately.

​

5. The "Good Guest" Reward for Repeat Direct Bookings

Keeping great guests coming back saves property owners money on third-party platform commissions.

When guests leave your property in immaculate shape and earn a 5-star rating from our cleaning team, we tag them in our system. We then offer them an exclusive discount to book directly with us for their next stay. This builds a reliable base of repeat, vetted guests while driving up your net rental yields.
