Developers in Birmingham
Birmingham stock that is not earning.
For developers holding completed Birmingham units: a fixed monthly rent under one agreement, paid whether or not anyone is staying in the property.
Three Ways We Work
Where we can help.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
A finished unit that has not sold earns a fixed monthly sum instead of a council tax bill, and comes back to you when a buyer appears. How this works →
Site Team Accommodation
Beds for the people building it: your team together, near site, on one account that invoices once a month. How this works →
Whole Block or Phase
A block or completed phase let and run under one agreement, rather than sold plot by plot into a slow market. How this works →
Birmingham
How we price it
We price the scheme in front of us rather than the postcode. Two developments a mile apart can support very different figures once access, parking, service charge and layout are taken into account.
Birmingham
What actually happens
Compliance paperwork usually decides the timeline rather than the legals. Certificates and sign-offs land when they land, and we would rather wait for them than take on a unit we should not.
Birmingham
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Birmingham
The paperwork that has to be right
Deposit handling, where it applies, follows the statutory scheme. There is no discretion in it.
Birmingham
Where we draw the line
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.

How to begin
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.
Birmingham's demand base is institutional: the University of Birmingham on the Edgbaston campus, B15 2TT, whose first buildings were completed in 1909; Birmingham City University with over 31,000 students; Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham at Mindelsohn Way, B15 2GW, a Level 1 Trauma Centre open since June 2010; and HSBC UK's head office at 1 Centenary Square. Infrastructure is still being added — 1.7 km of new Metro twin track from Bull Street toward Digbeth and HS2 Curzon Street. Maine Property Solutions holds no Birmingham stock; our nearest property is 25 Evers Street, Brierley Hill DY5 2AR, about 11 miles by road from the city centre.

Straight Answers
Read this before you rely on it.
Maine Property Solutions Ltd is a young company. We operate two properties of our own and we have not yet run a developer scheme, so what we are offering is a contract rather than a track record. Run your covenant check before you rely on the rent. 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
Before you send us a Birmingham scheme.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Birmingham units rather than just discount them?
A discount is permanent and a letting is not. If the sales market is slow rather than broken, income across the slow period plus a break clause for when a buyer appears usually beats cutting the asking price on the last few plots.
What happens to the Birmingham agreement if we sell the block?
The agreement is with the property, so a buyer takes it subject to our lease. That is worth raising with your agent early, because for some buyers an income-producing block is more attractive and for others it is not.
Can you house our site team instead?
That is a separate arrangement we also offer: managed accommodation near site for your own staff and contractors, on one company account with a single monthly invoice.
Who is responsible for gas, electrical and fire safety?
A lease does not make an owner's safety duties disappear and we will not pretend otherwise. Which obligations sit where is written into the agreement before anyone signs, and both solicitors should look at that clause specifically.
Will you sign an NDA before we send Birmingham scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
