What we do here
Our services in Westdene
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.
Westdene
The commercial mechanics
We would rather hold a rate and lose a night than discount into a weekend that was always going to fill. Which of those applies is a judgement made on live data, not a rule.
Westdene
The process, step by step
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.
Westdene
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.
Westdene
The compliance side
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Westdene
What we won't do
We do not market a property an owner has asked us to keep private. Confidentiality is not a premium service.
Westdene
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
Westdene: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What does Maine Property Solutions actually do day to day?
Pricing and channel management, guest communication from enquiry to checkout, cleaning and linen scheduling, maintenance triage, and monthly reporting. The parts that eat a landlord's evenings are the parts we take.
Who deals with problem guests in Westdene?
We do. Guests are vetted before booking, house rules are set out in writing, and we handle any issue directly. You are not the phone number on the listing.
Can I still use the property myself?
Yes. Owner blocks go in the calendar and we work around them. Tell us early for peak dates so we are not turning away bookings we have already priced.
What are the fees?
Fully managed starts from 15% of booking income. Guaranteed rent is a fixed monthly figure instead. Which one is better for a given Westdene property depends on the property, and we will say if neither is worth doing.
