Home/Care providers/Portslade

South East

Care-sector property in Portslade.

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

The property side

Property for care providers in Portslade

Housing and care are bought separately in this sector, including in Portslade. 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.

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 East is well outside our Birmingham base. We hold no property in Portslade 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 East Sussex is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.

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.

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.

Rough Sleeper Accommodation

What gets priority is self-contained accommodation spread out and gathered into small groups rather than concentrated on one site. Sharing is tolerated, but only with en-suite facilities and an operating history behind it. The Decent Homes Standard and the nationally described space standard sit underneath all of it as a hard floor, not an aspiration.

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.
