Home/Care providers/Plymouth

South West

Care-sector property in Plymouth.

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

The property side

Property for care providers in Plymouth

Care providers and commissioners need buildings in Plymouth as much as they need staff, and the building is usually the part that holds a placement up.

We would be a landlord or a building manager. Not a care provider, not a support provider, and not a party to any care contract.

Write the specification down and the rest becomes a search rather than a hope. Size, access, adaptation, tenure, term, and the compliance the building has to carry.

The South West is well outside our Birmingham base. We hold no property in Plymouth 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 Devon is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.

Temporary Accommodation

Self-contained nightly paid accommodation is now the dominant form and bed and breakfast use is falling sharply. The disfavoured category is defined by shared toilet, washing or cooking facilities between households — so a unit with its own bathroom and kitchen sits on the right side of the line. There is also a statutory pull toward accommodation inside the authority's own district, which makes local stock worth more than distant stock.

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.

Extra Care Housing (Older People)

Self-contained homes designed to suit older people and to work for someone living with dementia, offered for sale, on shared ownership or for rent, with communal facilities on site and care staff there around the clock. Which planning use class applies is genuinely unresolved between C2 and C3, and that is a live risk on any scheme rather than a technicality.

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

Questions we get asked

Not covered here? Tell us the specification and we will answer for your situation.

Do you have properties in Plymouth?

No. Maine Property Solutions operates two properties, both in Coventry, and holds no managed instruction anywhere. We have not yet placed a property with a provider in Plymouth. If you tell us the specification we will look for it.

Do you provide care or support in Plymouth?

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.

Do you have a local team in Plymouth?

No. We are a property company registered at Office 1, Izabella House, 24-26 Regent Place, Birmingham B1 3NJ, and we do not claim an office, a branch or staff in Plymouth.

What would you actually do for a provider in Plymouth?

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.

A written specification for Plymouth is enough to start. It is also enough for us to say if it is not something we can source.
