North West
Care-sector property in Barrow-in-Furness.
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.
We have not yet placed a property with a provider in Barrow-in-Furness. Tell us the specification and we will look for it.

Property for care providers in Barrow-in-Furness
Most of what stops a placement happening in Barrow-in-Furness is not the care plan. It is that there is no suitable building ready when it is needed.
The division is clean and it is worth stating plainly: the building is ours to find and prepare, the care is yours to deliver and to register.
We would want the specification first: what the property has to be, where, by when, and what has to be true of it on the day a commissioner or a regulator looks at it.
The North West is a long way from our Birmingham registered office. We hold no property in Barrow-in-Furness and no local presence of any kind there.
Three of the fourteen
What the property has to be, sector by sector
Each of these buys a different building for a different reason, and Cumbria is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.
Supported Living (Learning Disability & Autism)
Property here is designed or adapted so that independent living is a real alternative to a care home. The schemes that work are small, ideally on the ground floor — single-person homes, converted bungalows and small multi-person schemes rather than institutions. And the buying pattern is unusual: property is very often sourced against a named individual with a known need, not bought speculatively and marketed afterwards.
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.
Probation Accommodation (CAS3)
Individual self-contained units, plus two, three and four bedroom properties. Ordinary residential stock, in other words, at a scale most landlords already own.

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.
