Developers in Ashford
Ashford stock that is not earning.
Development finance does not pause because a unit in Ashford has not sold. We take completed stock on a company let — one agreement, one payer, a fixed sum every month whether the property is occupied or not.
Three Ways We Work
What we would take from a developer.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Finished units producing income while they sit on the market, with vacant possession returned on agreed notice. How this works →
Site Team Accommodation
Managed accommodation near site for your own staff and contractors, on one company account with a single monthly invoice. How this works →
Whole Block or Phase
The whole block on one agreement, priced for the term and agreed in writing before anyone commits. How this works →
Ashford
How the figure is reached
If the numbers do not work we say so and explain why. A scheme priced badly to win the instruction becomes a scheme we cannot service, and that is worse for a developer than an early no.
Ashford
How it runs day to day
Heads of terms come before lawyers. Rent, term, break provisions, condition standards and who holds which obligation are agreed in plain language first, so the drafting is a formality rather than a negotiation.
Ashford
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Ashford
Compliance, plainly
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
Ashford
Where we draw the line
We do not lock owners into terms they have not read. If somebody wants a week to have the agreement looked over, they should take it.
Ashford
Where to start
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Straight Answers
Read this before you rely on it.
Be sceptical, and check us properly. We operate two properties, we have not run a developer scheme, and a rent is only ever worth what the company behind it is worth. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. On larger schemes a deposit, a guarantee or a staged take-up is the normal answer, not a sign of reluctance.
Nothing on this page is a valuation, a financial promotion or investment advice. Terms are specific to the scheme in front of us and are agreed in writing before either side commits.
Your Questions
What developers want to know about Ashford.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What do you need from us to price an Ashford scheme?
Location, plot numbers, tenure and the service charge position, the completion date, and your expected sales window. Certificates where they exist. The more of that we have, the less hedged the answer.
How long does it take to get an answer?
The review itself is quick. What usually sets the timeline is compliance paperwork - the EPC, the electrical certificate or the gas safety record arriving - rather than anything on our side.
What condition do the Ashford units come back in?
The standard is agreed before we take them, off a schedule of condition with photographs at handover. Fair wear and tear is expected on a property that has been lived in; anything beyond that is ours to put right.
Do you buy unsold stock?
No. We take property on a lease and pay rent - we are not a cash buyer and we do not make offers on completed units. If something needs work rather than being finished, send it to us and we will see whether it fits an investor on our list.
Are you VAT registered?
Maine Property Solutions Ltd is not VAT registered, so our invoices carry no VAT. VAT on property leases depends on tenure and on whether an option to tax is in place, so take your own advice on your recovery position.
