Home/Care providers/Wigan
North West
Care-sector property in Wigan.
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 Wigan. Tell us the specification and we will look for it.
The property side
Property for care providers in Wigan
Most of what stops a placement happening in Wigan is not the care plan. It is that there is no suitable building ready when it is needed.
Our part is the asset: identifying it, getting it ready, and keeping it right afterwards. Everything about the people living in it is the provider's.
The first useful conversation is about the specification, not about stock. Tell us what the building has to be able to do and we will go looking for it.
The North West is a long way from our Birmingham registered office. We hold no property in Wigan 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 Greater Manchester is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.
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.
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.
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.
