What we do here
Our services in Old Bailey
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.

What drives the number
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.
Old Bailey
What to expect once it starts
Maintenance is triaged rather than escalated. Most issues are small; the skill is knowing which ones are not and dealing with those before a guest is affected.
Old Bailey
Is this right for you?
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.

The compliance side
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.

Where we draw the line
We do not take on property we do not think will work. Turning something down costs us a fee and saves an owner a year of disappointment.
Old Bailey
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
Common questions about Old Bailey.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How do you find guests in Old Bailey?
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.
