What we do here
Our services in Kensington
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.
Kensington
How we price it
Rate-setting is a daily job. Lead time, competing supply, day of week and local demand all pull in different directions, and the gap between an averagely-priced calendar and a well-priced one is not small.
Kensington
The process, step by step
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.
Kensington
Where this fits, and where 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.
Kensington
The paperwork that has to be right
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.
Kensington
Things we don't do
We do not lock owners into terms they have not read. If somebody wants a week to have the agreement looked over, they should take it.
Kensington
How to begin
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
Kensington: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How do you find guests in Kensington?
The property is listed across the major booking channels rather than one, so demand is not dependent on a single platform's algorithm. Direct enquiries also come through our own site.
What about wear and tear?
Short-let use is more intensive than a long let, and we plan for it. Consumables are replaced routinely; anything larger is raised with you with a quote before it is done.
Are you a letting agent?
We manage property as serviced accommodation. Maine Property Solutions Ltd is registered with the ICO and is a member of the Property Redress Scheme; the company number is 16187542.
What happens if there is damage?
Damage is pursued through the booking channel's own resolution process and the security deposit where one applies. We document condition so a claim has something behind it.
