Care-sector property in Herne Bay.
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 Herne Bay — 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 Herne Bay
The property side of a care placement in Herne Bay is a distinct job from the care side, with a different regulator and a different set of documents.
Our service is designed to take the property work off a provider's desk — sourcing, works, certificates and the landlord relationship — and nothing beyond it.
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.
We look for property in Herne Bay from our Birmingham office and prepare it to the specification the provider sets.
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 Kent 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.
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.
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.

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.
