We'll reply within one working day. No obligation, no cost.

Why Kalmak Keys

Run properly, not just rented out.

Most short-let operators are focused on getting a listing live fast. We're focused on getting it right — because the rules around short lets in London have real teeth, and a property caught out on planning, licensing, or lease terms costs the owner far more than it saves.

  • Every property checked against lease and mortgage terms before listing
  • National short-let registration handled as standard, not an afterthought
  • Planning position reviewed for London's 90-night threshold
  • Short-let-specific insurance in place from day one
Founder

Emet Halkin

Kalmak Keys is run by a qualified solicitor with a background in restructuring and insolvency — which means an unusually close eye on the legal and financial detail most short-let operators skip past.

That's the difference: your property is treated as a real asset to protect, not just a listing to fill.
