What we do here
Our services in St John's Wood
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.
St John's Wood
How we price it
Every rate change is a trade between occupancy and yield per night, and the right side of that trade depends on how much of the month is already committed.
St John's Wood
How it runs day to day
Reporting is monthly and it shows the deductions as well as the income. A statement that only shows the good number is not a statement.
St John's Wood
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.
St John's Wood
Certificates, licensing and insurance
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.
St John's Wood
Where we draw the line
We do not guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.
St John's Wood
Where to start
An initial conversation is worth more than a form. Most of what matters — constraints, timing, what the owner actually wants — does not fit in a field.

Your Questions
Straight answers for St John's Wood owners.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
How do you find guests in St John's Wood?
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.
