What we do here
Our services in King's Cross
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.
King's Cross
What drives the number
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.
King's Cross
How it runs day to day
Listings are reviewed rather than written once. What a property competes against changes, and copy that worked at launch is not automatically working a year later.
King's Cross
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
King's Cross
The paperwork that has to be right
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.
King's Cross
What we won't do
We are not a building contractor. Where work is needed we introduce the trades we use, and the contract for that work sits between the owner and the trade, priced before it starts.
King's Cross
Getting started
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
What King's Cross landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How do you find guests in King's Cross?
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.
