Home/Care providers/Whitley Bay

North East

Care-sector property in Whitley Bay.

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 Whitley Bay. Tell us the specification and we will look for it.

The property side

Property for care providers in Whitley Bay

Property is the slow half of a care placement in Whitley Bay. Finding the building, getting it ready and getting the paperwork right takes longer than agreeing the care.

Our service is designed to take the property work off a provider's desk — sourcing, works, certificates and the landlord relationship — and nothing beyond it.

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.

The North East is a long way from our Birmingham registered office. We hold no property in Whitley Bay and no local presence of any kind 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 Tyne and Wear 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.

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.

Care Staff Accommodation

A shared house of unrelated working adults. Three or more triggers HMO status, and five or more in two or more households triggers mandatory licensing. Practically: ordinary three to six bedroom stock near the employer's sites.

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.
