How we work

How we work

01

Assisted Sale Partnerships

Maya Works partners with property owners whose assets are struggling to sell or not achieving their
expected value.Through a structured agreement, the team manages targeted improvements and repositioning before the property returns to market. The focus is not on refurbishment for its own sake, but on practical changes that strengthen pricing, buyer appeal and exit strategy.The objective is simple: improve performance at sale rather than reduce the asking price.

02

Development & Conversions

Maya Works acquires and repositions residential and commercial properties across London and the
South East.The company focuses on underperforming buildings with clear potental for value creation - including residential refurbishments, commercial-to-residential conversions and intelligent
reconfiguration of existing space.Each project is approached commercially, with disciplined acquisition, controlled delivery and a
defined exit plan.

Every project combines property
development with interior architecture and design, so the numbers stack up and the finished product looks and feels high-end.

Maya Works is a small-scale property development company focused on making property work harder.

The business specialises in repositioning underperforming residential and commercial assets, including assisted sale partnerships, refurbishments and conversions, always with a clear resale objective.Every project is approached with one principle in mind: unlock the full financial potential of the asset rather than settle for its current performance.

Maya Baklan - About Section
Founder:

Maya Baklan – property developer, investor, interior designer.

Focus:

Design-led residential and mixed use projects which involve refurbishments, reconfigurations and repositioning for higher sales value.

Why the Business Was Created

Maya Works was established on the belief that property performs best when design and commercial thinking are aligned from the outset.Since 2016, projects delivered across Europe and the UK have shown that many buildings underperform not because of location, but because of inefficient layouts, weak positioning or lack of strategic clarity.The company was created to address that gap, using design as a vehicle to improve flow, usability andmarket perception, ultimately helping property work harder and deliver stronger outcomes.

Design-Led Value

With a foundation in interior architecture and development strategy, Maya Works applies design selectively and commercially.Layout, proportion and spatial planning are treated as financial tools, shaping how a property is perceived, valued and sold.Design is not applied decoratively, but strategically, to enhance capital performance.

A clear, disciplined approach for investors

For investors

For investors

Maya Works works with a small number of investors who value clarity, structure and commercially driven decision-making.The focus is on carefully selected development projects where acquisition strategy, cost control and exit planning are defined from the outset.Capital is deployed into projects structured around risk management, transparency and measurable value uplift.Each opportunity is assessed individually and discussed privately
