The Acquisition Toolkit

How we decide whether a location and a property are worth buying for serviced accommodation, and the prompts to gather the evidence yourself.

The Acquisition Decision Tree (16 pages): the order of questions we ask, from your goal to a target property, across five phases: set the goal, read the market, test the location, prove the upside, and choose the target. At every stage you decide whether to go on, back up, loop round or stop.

The Self-Research Prompt Pack, Parts 1 and 2 (41 pages, twenty prompts): run the first pass of a market read yourself, the town, then the neighbourhood, then the numbers. Every prompt gathers evidence only. The reading, and the decision, stay with you.

If you are about to commit six figures to a property, this is the method to read the market before you do.
