Home/Care providers/Birmingham
West Midlands
Care-sector property in Birmingham.
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 Birmingham. Tell us the specification and we will look for it.
The property side
Property for care providers in Birmingham
Housing and care are bought separately in this sector, including in Birmingham. Two contracts, usually two payers, and two very different sets of obligations.
What we can offer is property capability. The registration, the staff and the care plan sit with the provider, where the law puts 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.
The West Midlands is where Maine Property Solutions is registered — Office 1, Izabella House, Birmingham — and where our two properties sit. That is proximity, not presence in Birmingham, and we would not describe it as anything more.
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 West Midlands is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.
Children's Residential Homes
Small houses, not institutions. The sector runs at a mean of roughly three to four places per home, which means ordinary residential stock in ordinary streets — and it means the property that works is the property that reads as a family home rather than a facility.
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.
Extra Care Housing (Older People)
Self-contained homes designed to suit older people and to work for someone living with dementia, offered for sale, on shared ownership or for rent, with communal facilities on site and care staff there around the clock. Which planning use class applies is genuinely unresolved between C2 and C3, and that is a live risk on any scheme rather than a technicality.

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.

Birmingham's demand base is institutional: the University of Birmingham on the Edgbaston campus, B15 2TT, whose first buildings were completed in 1909; Birmingham City University with over 31,000 students; Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham at Mindelsohn Way, B15 2GW, a Level 1 Trauma Centre open since June 2010; and HSBC UK's head office at 1 Centenary Square. Infrastructure is still being added — 1.7 km of new Metro twin track from Bull Street toward Digbeth and HS2 Curzon Street. Maine Property Solutions holds no Birmingham stock; our nearest property is 25 Evers Street, Brierley Hill DY5 2AR, about 11 miles by road from the city centre.
