Home/Care providers/Workington
North West
Care-sector property in Workington.
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 Workington. Tell us the specification and we will look for it.
The property side
Property for care providers in Workington
Housing and care are bought separately in this sector, including in Workington. Two contracts, usually two payers, and two very different sets of obligations.
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.
We would ask for the specification and the timescale before anything else, because in this sector both of them change which buildings are even candidates.
The North West is a long way from our Birmingham registered office. We hold no property in Workington 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 Cumbria is no exception. Three are set out here; the rest have their own pages.
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.
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.
Extra Care Housing (Older People)
Self-contained homes designed to suit older people and to work for someone living with dementia, offered for sale, on shared ownership or for rent, with communal facilities on site and care staff there around the clock. Which planning use class applies is genuinely unresolved between C2 and C3, and that is a live risk on any scheme rather than a technicality.

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.
