South West

Care-sector property in Bridgwater.

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

The property side

Property for care providers in Bridgwater

The buildings this sector needs in Bridgwater are mostly ordinary residential stock — houses and flats, prepared properly, rather than purpose-built facilities.

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.

The South West is well outside our Birmingham base. We hold no property in Bridgwater and no local presence 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 Somerset 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.

Substance Misuse Recovery Housing

Shared houses are common in this sector, which means HMO status is the norm rather than the exception. Location relative to treatment services and to a recovery community matters more here than square footage.

Care Staff Accommodation

A shared house of unrelated working adults. Three or more triggers HMO status, and five or more in two or more households triggers mandatory licensing. Practically: ordinary three to six bedroom stock near the employer's sites.

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.
