East of England

Care-sector property in Stevenage.

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 Stevenage — 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 Stevenage

The property side of a care placement in Stevenage is a distinct job from the care side, with a different regulator and a different set of documents.

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.

The brief we can work from is a written one: the building's purpose, its specification, and what has to be evidenced about it before it is used.

We source property in Stevenage 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 Hertfordshire 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.

Veterans' Supported Housing

Accommodation for one person at a time rather than for families. That is a clear brief and it points at studio and one-bedroom stock, or at shared houses with the HMO consequences that follow.

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.
