What we do here
Our services in Old Street
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.
Old Street
How the figure is reached
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.
Old Street
What to expect once it starts
Owner blocks go in the calendar as far ahead as possible, because a date held in advance costs nothing and a date held late costs a booking.
Old Street
Is this right for you?
This suits an owner who wants the property to work without becoming a second job. It does not suit someone who wants to approve every booking — that is a different relationship and it does not run well.
Old Street
The paperwork that has to be right
Licensing and planning requirements vary by council and they change. We check the current position for the relevant authority rather than assume a rule that was true somewhere else.
Old Street
What we won't do
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Old Street
The first step
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
Straight answers for Old Street owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How do you find guests in Old Street?
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.
