What we do here
Our services in Crouch End
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.
Crouch End
The commercial mechanics
Nightly rates are not set once and left. They move with the day of the week, the season, how far ahead the booking sits and what else is available nearby at that moment. A static rate is the single most common reason a short let underperforms its potential.
Crouch End
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.
Crouch End
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Crouch End
The compliance side
Compliance is not optional and it is not quick to retro-fit. Gas safety, electrical condition, fire equipment and the right insurance all need to be in place before anything goes live, and a missing certificate is the most common cause of a delayed start.
Crouch End
Where we draw the line
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.
Crouch End
How to begin
An owner with several properties should say so early — it usually simplifies things rather than complicating them.

Your Questions
Crouch End: 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 Crouch End?
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 Crouch End property depends on the property, and we will say if neither is worth doing.
