What we do here
Our services in Oakhill
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.
Oakhill
The commercial mechanics
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.
Oakhill
What to expect once it starts
Compliance comes first because it has to: gas, electrical, fire equipment and the right insurance. A listing that goes live without them is a liability, not a head start.
Oakhill
Who gets the most from it
It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.
Oakhill
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Oakhill
Where we draw the line
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.
Oakhill
The first step
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Your Questions
Oakhill questions, answered.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How do you find guests in Oakhill?
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.
