Developers in Dudley
Dudley stock that is not earning.
We take Dudley 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
The three arrangements.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Rather than discount the last few plots, let them to us on a fixed rent and keep the asking price where you want it. 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
The whole block on one agreement, priced for the term and agreed in writing before anyone commits. How this works →

How the numbers are worked out
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.

The process, step by step
There is one point of contact rather than a rota. Whoever you agree the terms with is who you speak to when something needs sorting out.
Dudley
Is this right for you?
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.

The paperwork that has to be right
Compliance is not optional and it is not quick to retro-fit. Gas safety, electrical condition, fire equipment and the right insurance all need to be in place before anything goes live, and a missing certificate is the most common cause of a delayed start.

What we won't do
We do not take on property we do not think will work. Turning something down costs us a fee and saves an owner a year of disappointment.
Dudley
The first step
The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.
For a Dudley landlord the policy position is the borough position: Article 4 across the whole of Dudley MBC since 15 September 2023, no short-let restriction on record as at July 2026, and a 100% council tax premium on empty furnished property. What is changing is the employment base — the Very Light Rail National Innovation Centre with its 2.2 km test track, now council-run; the Black Country and Marches Institute of Technology; and the Metro reaching Flood Street with a new bus and tram interchange. Maine Property Solutions holds no stock in Dudley town itself; our nearest property is in Brierley Hill, DY5.

Straight Answers
Read this before you rely on it.
We are small. Two properties operated, no developer schemes completed, and an honest expectation that you will verify all of that rather than take it on trust. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. A phased start is usually the sensible structure on anything substantial, and we will suggest it before you have to.
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
Dudley developer questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Dudley 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 Dudley 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 Dudley scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
