Home/Care providers/Stoke-on-Trent
West Midlands
Care-sector property in Stoke-on-Trent.
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 Stoke-on-Trent. Tell us the specification and we will look for it.
The property side
Property for care providers in Stoke-on-Trent
A care placement in Stoke-on-Trent needs two separate things to exist at once: an operator with a registration, and a property that fits the specification.
The division is clean and it is worth stating plainly: the building is ours to find and prepare, the care is yours to deliver and to register.
Start with the specification. Everything downstream, from which streets are worth looking at to which certificates are needed, is decided by it.
The West Midlands is where Maine Property Solutions is registered — Office 1, Izabella House, Birmingham — and where our two properties sit. That is proximity, not presence in Stoke-on-Trent, and we would not describe it as anything more.
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 Staffordshire 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.
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.
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.
