Developers in Colchester
Colchester stock that is not earning.
Finished Colchester units, beds for your site team, or a whole phase under one agreement — each of them a fixed monthly sum rather than a holding cost.
Three Ways We Work
Three ways we work with developers.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Completed stock taken on a company let with a fixed monthly rent and a break clause, so you keep vacant possession for a sale. 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
Whole-block lettings under a single company let, with a phased start if that suits both sides better. How this works →
Colchester
How we price it
Whatever is agreed gets written down before either side commits, including what happens if it stops working. A rent with no agreed exit is not a better deal, it is an argument scheduled for later.
Colchester
What to expect once it starts
Whoever occupies the property does so under our agreement, not the developer's. The relationship stays with us and we deal with them.
Colchester
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
The owners who get most from it are the ones who tell us their constraints early: dates they need, works they will not fund, tenants they will not take. Constraints are easy to design around and awkward to discover.
Colchester
The compliance side
Licensing and planning requirements vary by council and they change. We check the current position for the relevant authority rather than assume a rule that was true somewhere else.
Colchester
Where we draw the line
We do not guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.
Colchester
Getting started
We would rather spend longer on the first conversation and less on fixing a misunderstanding later.

Check Us Properly
The checks worth running first.
Every arrangement here is a contract with a registered company. A contract deserves a covenant check. Run one before you rely on the rent. 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 Colchester.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Colchester 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 Colchester 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 Colchester 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.
