Home/Care providers/Cambridge
East of England
Care-sector property in Cambridge.
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 Cambridge — 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 Cambridge
The property side of a care placement in Cambridge is a distinct job from the care side, with a different regulator and a different set of documents.
Our part is the asset: identifying it, getting it ready, and keeping it right afterwards. Everything about the people living in it is the provider's.
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 source property in Cambridge from Birmingham and manage the building side once a provider takes it: the lease, repairs and certificates.
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 Cambridgeshire 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.
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.
