Home/Care providers/Blackburn

North West

Care-sector property in Blackburn.

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 Blackburn. Tell us the specification and we will look for it.

The property side

Property for care providers in Blackburn

In Blackburn as everywhere, the registration follows the care provider — never the landlord and never the building. That is what makes a landlord's role in this sector a clean one.

If you instruct us, we would source against your written specification, prepare the property to it, and hand the operational side to you entirely.

Give us the specification and a date. Those two things decide whether a property is worth looking at, and they decide it quickly.

The North West is a long way from our Birmingham registered office. We hold no property in Blackburn 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 Lancashire is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.

Asylum Dispersal Accommodation

Two product types. Self-contained houses or flats for families, and HMOs for single people. Dispersed accommodation means ordinary houses and flats in ordinary residential areas rather than purpose-built sites, and allocation is on a no-choice basis with no requirement to stay within a district.

Refugee Resettlement Housing

A spare room inside an occupied home, or a self-contained unit standing empty. Ordinary stock, and a genuinely low barrier to entry compared with the rest of this lane.

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.

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.
