Developers in Chelmsford
Chelmsford stock that is not earning.
If Chelmsford stock is finished but not selling, it can earn while it waits. One company let, one monthly payment and vacant possession back when you have a buyer.
Three Ways We Work
What we can take on.
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
Accommodation for site staff and contractors, taken care of end to end and settled on one company invoice. How this works →
Whole Block or Phase
A completed phase taken as a unit, with break provisions so you can pull units back if the sales market turns. How this works →
Chelmsford
The commercial mechanics
Term length changes the number. A longer commitment is worth more to us and lets us offer more; a short term with an early break carries risk that has to be priced rather than ignored.
Chelmsford
What actually happens
Once the property is handed over, rent is paid on the same date each month for the term, whether or not anyone is staying in it. That is the arrangement itself, not a concession.
Chelmsford
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.
Chelmsford
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Where a council requires planning consent for a particular use, that is a question for the council and not for us to answer on their behalf. We will point an owner at the right place.
Chelmsford
What we won't do
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.
Chelmsford
The first step
We would rather spend longer on the first conversation and less on fixing a misunderstanding later.
Check Us Properly
Check the covenant before you plan.
Before the numbers go into your appraisal, check who is paying them. The company, the agreement and the security all get looked at up front. Company No. 16187542: we will hand over what you need to check it properly. For a block or a phase, expect security proportionate to the scheme to be agreed in writing before anything starts.
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 ask us about Chelmsford.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Chelmsford unit sits empty?
Yes. The rent is a fixed monthly sum under the agreement, payable whether or not anyone is staying in the property. The void risk moves to us, which is why the figure sits below the best a unit might achieve in a strong month.
Can we keep marketing the Chelmsford units for sale?
Yes. Most developers do. A break clause lets you recover vacant possession on an agreed notice period once you have a buyer. Viewings are arranged with reasonable notice.
Is this an AST?
No. It is a company let agreement: Maine Property Solutions Ltd becomes the lessee and carries the rent obligation. Your solicitor should read the agreement before you sign it.
How many Chelmsford units would you take?
A single unit is straightforward. A whole block usually starts in stages: a first group of units on one company let agreement, with the rest following on agreed terms.
