What we do here
Our services in Black Rock
Serviced accommodation management
We run the property as a premium short let -- listing, pricing, guests, cleaning and reporting.
Guaranteed rent
A fixed monthly figure whether the property is occupied or not, with the void risk on us.
Sell a property that needs work
Tired, unmodernised or inherited property bought as it stands, with no agent fees.
Property investment and sourcing
Off-market stock that needs work, matched to budget, area and appetite for works.
Black Rock
What drives the number
We price against live availability, not against last year's spreadsheet. The market a property competes in changes week to week, and a rate that was right in March is rarely right in October.
Black Rock
The process, step by step
Guest messages get answered quickly because response time affects placement on most channels. It is a ranking factor, not just good manners.
Black Rock
Is this right for you?
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Black Rock
The compliance side
Deposit handling, where it applies, follows the statutory scheme. There is no discretion in it.
Black Rock
Where we draw the line
We do not market a property an owner has asked us to keep private. Confidentiality is not a premium service.
Black Rock
Where to start
The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.

Your Questions
Black Rock: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What does Maine Property Solutions actually do day to day?
Pricing and channel management, guest communication from enquiry to checkout, cleaning and linen scheduling, maintenance triage, and monthly reporting. The parts that eat a landlord's evenings are the parts we take.
Who deals with problem guests in Black Rock?
We do. Guests are vetted before booking, house rules are set out in writing, and we handle any issue directly. You are not the phone number on the listing.
Can I still use the property myself?
Yes. Owner blocks go in the calendar and we work around them. Tell us early for peak dates so we are not turning away bookings we have already priced.
What are the fees?
Fully managed starts from 15% of booking income. Guaranteed rent is a fixed monthly figure instead. Which one is better for a given Black Rock property depends on the property, and we will say if neither is worth doing.
