Developers in Formby
Formby stock that is not earning.
Finished Formby 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
The three arrangements.
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
Whole properties near site for the crew, cleaned and serviced, instead of a scatter of travel hotels and loose receipts. 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
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.
Formby
How it runs day to day
If units are needed back for a sale, the break provisions agreed at the start are what govern. Give the notice that was agreed and we plan around it.

Who gets the most from it
Where a property is genuinely unsuitable, saying so early costs one conversation. Saying so late costs both sides money.
Formby
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.

What we won't do
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.
Formby
Getting started
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.
Straight Answers
Straight about our size.
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. Where the numbers get serious, so does the security around them. That conversation happens early rather than late.
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
Formby: the practical questions.
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 Formby 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 Formby 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.
