What types of properties does TOMO work with?We focus on apartments in prime, high-quality buildings in central or desirable locations, where premium demand is strongest.
-
Who stays in TOMO properties?Our target guests are corporate travellers, digital professionals, and premium Serviced Apartment users seeking comfort, community, and style.
-
What partnership models does TOMO offer?TOMO offers two models: Model 1: Refurbishment + Option to Buy – TOMO agrees a price at the maximum market rate achievable. We manage and fund the refurbishment, then acquire the property once works are complete through an option agreement placed on the unit before work begins. Model 2: Management Agreement – You fund the refurbishment, while TOMO manages design, construction, and setup. TOMO then operates the property long-term under a management contract for a set fee.
-
Which model is right for me?Model 1 suits landlords or investors looking to sell their property at a strong market rate with a guaranteed exit. Model 2 suits long-term landlords or portfolio investors who want to optimise yields and retain ownership.
-
Who pays for refurbishment?In Model 1, TOMO funds and manages the refurbishment. In Model 2, the landlord/investor funds the refurbishment while TOMO delivers the project to TOMO standards.
-
Who is TOMO for?TOMO works with both retail investors looking for turnkey, income-generating real estate, and institutional investors seeking scalable exposure to the premium serviced-apartment sector.
-
Is TOMO suitable for portfolio landlords?Yes. TOMO helps portfolio landlords reposition multiple units, increasing net yields and reducing operational burden through our management structure.
-
How is revenue shared with landlords?Under Model 2, this is structured as a management agreement rather than a traditional revenue share. Landlords receive net income after operating and management expenses.
-
How much does management cost?Management fees vary depending on property size, location, and projected revenues. TOMO structures fees to ensure landlords achieve the best possible net return while benefiting from our turnkey service.
-
What kind of yields can I expect?Yields depend on location and property type. Typically, TOMO properties outperform standard rental yields by repositioning units to premium standards and targeting higher-value guest segments such as corporate travellers and long-stay professionals.
-
Is income guaranteed?TOMO does not offer guaranteed income. Instead, our model is designed to maximise returns by aligning incentives and delivering consistent performance through professional management.
-
What design and refurbishment standards does TOMO use?All TOMO properties are designed with private ensuite bedrooms, functional kitchens, and elegant, durable finishes that meet both hospitality and investment-grade standards.
-
How long does refurbishment take?The timeline depends on the property size and condition but typically ranges from 8–16 weeks from project commencement to guest-ready completion.
-
Do landlords or investors have input into design?TOMO uses a consistent design language to maintain brand standards. While we welcome input, our focus is on creating a cohesive, proven product that performs in the premium rental market.
-
What risks should landlords or investors consider?As with any real estate investment, risks include market fluctuations, demand cycles, and unforeseen costs. TOMO mitigates these risks by focusing on prime locations, professional management, and high design standards.
-
What exit options exist for landlords and investors?In Model 1, the exit is secured through the option agreement. In Model 2, landlords retain ownership and can sell their upgraded, income-generating property at any time, typically at a higher valuation.
-
How does TOMO align its incentives with landlords?TOMO’s success is tied directly to performance — we only generate returns if your property performs. This ensures we are fully aligned in maximising occupancy, yield, and long-term asset value.
-
How does the option agreement protect landlords in Model 1?The option agreement is legally registered against the property before refurbishment begins, ensuring that the landlord’s sale is secured at the agreed terms once TOMO completes the works.
-
What if TOMO doesn’t buy my property under Model 1?The option agreement is a binding commitment, but TOMO only agrees to prices that are achievable at market levels. This provides landlords with clarity and a secure exit.
-
Do landlords still retain control in Model 2?Yes, landlords retain ownership at all times. TOMO acts as the managing operator under contract, ensuring your property is upgraded, marketed, and run to our premium standards.
