Home/Care providers/Taunton
South West
Care-sector property in Taunton.
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 Taunton. Tell us the specification and we will look for it.
The property side
Property for care providers in Taunton
Care providers and commissioners need buildings in Taunton as much as they need staff, and the building is usually the part that holds a placement up.
The property and the care are two contracts. We would be on one of them, and only on one of them.
It begins with what the building has to do. The rest — sourcing, works, certificates — follows from that, in that order.
The South West is well outside our Birmingham base. We hold no property in Taunton 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 Somerset is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.
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.
Refugee Resettlement Housing
A spare room inside an occupied home, or a self-contained unit standing empty. Ordinary stock, and a genuinely low barrier to entry compared with the rest of this lane.
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.
