North East

Care-sector property in Newcastle.

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 Newcastle — 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 Newcastle

Housing and care are bought separately in this sector, including in Newcastle. Two contracts, usually two payers, and two very different sets of obligations.

We would sit on the landlord side of the line. The provider holds the registration, the care contract and the relationship with the commissioner; we hold the building.

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

We look for property in Newcastle from our Birmingham office, working to the specification the provider and the commissioner set.

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 Tyne and Wear 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.

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.

Specialist & Adapted Housing

The numbers are specific and they drive the build. Putting in a level access shower means constructing a full wet room and a ceiling that can carry a 200kg hoist. At Category 3 the entrance storey has to be reachable without steps and the controls have to sit within a reduced reach range. Room-by-room turning space is set out too, including 1200mm by 1200mm inside every bedroom doorway. Wheelchair adaptable is the default; wheelchair accessible applies only where a planning condition says so.

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.

Your Questions

Do you provide care or support in Newcastle?

No. 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.

What would you actually do for a provider in Newcastle?

Source property against a written specification, prepare it, and manage the building afterwards if that is wanted. Everything about care, support, supervision and staff stays with the provider.
