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

How the numbers are worked out
Channel mix affects price as much as season does. The same night can be worth different amounts depending on who is booking it and what that channel charges.
Bournville
What actually happens
Reporting is monthly and it shows the deductions as well as the income. A statement that only shows the good number is not a statement.
Bournville
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
An owner who has been let down before usually wants to know what happens when something goes wrong rather than what happens when it goes right. That is the correct question to ask.

The paperwork that has to be right
Fire safety equipment is specified by use, not by preference. Getting it wrong is the kind of mistake that only surfaces at the worst moment.
Bournville
Things we don't do
We do not advise on finance or tax. Those are jobs for a broker and an accountant, and we will say so rather than improvise.

Getting started
Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

Your Questions
Bournville: 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 Bournville?
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 12% of booking income. Guaranteed rent is a fixed monthly figure instead. Which one is better for a given Bournville property depends on the property, and we will say if neither is worth doing.
