Care-sector property in Ashington.
Maine Property Solutions is a property company. We find, prepare and manage buildings — we do not provide care, support or supervision, and we are not registered with CQC or Ofsted. Care and support in any property we manage is provided by the registered provider, not by us.
Tell us the specification you need in Ashington — the number of bedrooms, the access, the planning position and the lease length — and we will look for a property that meets it.
The property side
Property for care providers in Ashington
A provider looking for a property in Ashington is looking for a specification, not a postcode: layout, adaptation, tenure and the certificates the building can carry.
The property and the care are two contracts. We would be on one of them, and only on one of them.
A specification is the whole of the brief in this sector: the layout, the adaptation, the location relative to services, and the paperwork that has to exist.
We look for property in Ashington from our Birmingham office, working to the specification the provider and the commissioner set.

What the property has to be, sector by sector
Each of these buys a different building for a different reason, and Northumberland is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.
Supported Living (Mental Health)
What is wanted is ordinary housing that works for someone leaving a long hospital stay: self-contained where possible, in a location that supports rather than isolates, and available on a timescale that matches a discharge date rather than a development programme. Published examples of this sector working describe people moving out of long inpatient stays into housing, which is the outcome the buying is measured against.
Emergency & Crisis Placement
The statutory suitability tests are about how much room there is, how the inside is arranged and where the building sits — not about fixtures and not about finish. Giving a household its own cooking and laundry is the single change that lifts a property out of the disfavoured category. And bed and breakfast is never suitable for a 16 or 17 year old, not even for one night.
Rough Sleeper Accommodation
What gets priority is self-contained accommodation spread out and gathered into small groups rather than concentrated on one site. Sharing is tolerated, but only with en-suite facilities and an operating history behind it. The Decent Homes Standard and the nationally described space standard sit underneath all of it as a hard floor, not an aspiration.

The line, drawn plainly
What we can do, and what we cannot
What we can do
- Find property against a written specification — size, layout, location, adaptation, tenure and the compliance set the building has to carry.
- Prepare it: works, furnishing, certificates and the paperwork a provider or a commissioner will want to see before it takes the building on.
- Manage the building afterwards, if that is what is wanted — repairs, contractors, certificate renewals and the landlord side of the relationship.
- Put the proposed terms, the works and the timetable in front of you in writing before anything is committed.
What we do not do
- We do not provide care, support or supervision, of any kind, to anyone.
- We are not registered with CQC and we are not registered with Ofsted. A landlord letting a building to a care provider is carrying on neither regulated activity and has nothing to register.
- We do not employ, supply or manage care or support staff, and we make no claim about the vetting of anyone else's.
- We hold no framework place, no contract and no position on any supplier list with any council, health body or government department.
- We hold no care-sector placement anywhere. Maine Property Solutions operates two properties, both in Coventry, and has no managed instruction in any sector.
