Developers in Dover
Dover stock that is not earning.
We take Dover stock on a company let and carry the void risk ourselves. You get one counterparty, one payment date and a term agreed in writing.
Three Ways We Work
What we can take on.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Slow-moving completed units taken on a company let, priced for the term rather than for the first month. How this works →
Site Team Accommodation
Somewhere sensible for a travelling crew to stay, with kitchen and laundry, run by us and billed to the company. 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 →
Dover
How we price it
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.
Dover
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.
Dover
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
Where a property is genuinely unsuitable, saying so early costs one conversation. Saying so late costs both sides money.
Dover
The compliance side
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
Dover
Where we draw the line
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.
Dover
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.

Straight Answers
The part that does not flatter us.
We would rather you heard this from us than found it in a credit check: we operate two properties and have never run a developer scheme. The offer is a contractual one, and it deserves the same scrutiny you would give any new counterparty. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. For a block or a phase, assume we will be asked for security of some kind, and assume we will agree that it is reasonable.
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
Common questions from Dover housebuilders.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What do you need from us to price a Dover 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 Dover 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.
