What we do here
Our services in Newtown
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.
Newtown
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.
Newtown
How the work gets done
Cleaning and linen are scheduled around the calendar rather than a fixed day. A same-day turnaround is routine and it is planned, not improvised.
Newtown
Who gets the most from it
It suits someone who values a predictable outcome over an occasional excellent month. If the excellent month is the point, a different model fits better.
Newtown
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Where a council requires planning consent for a particular use, that is a question for the council and not for us to answer on their behalf. We will point an owner at the right place.
Newtown
What we won't do
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property.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.
Newtown
The first step
Send the property details and any photographs or an online link. That is usually enough for a first view on whether it is worth going further.

Your Questions
The questions we get most in Newtown.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How do you find guests in Newtown?
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 Property Redress; 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.
