Developers in Greater London
Greater London stock that is not earning.
For developers and housebuilders across Greater London — completed units on a company let, beds for the site team, or a whole phase under one agreement. A fixed monthly sum, occupied or not.
Three Ways We Work
What we would take from a developer.
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
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 phase let as one thing to one counterparty, with the void risk sitting on our side of the line. How this works →
Greater London
What drives the number
A figure quoted before anyone has looked at the scheme is a guess. We would rather take a day and give you a number we can hold for the full term than win the conversation with something we quietly revise in month seven.
Greater London
How it runs day to day
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.
Greater London
Who gets the most from it
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Greater London
The paperwork that has to be right
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.

Where we draw the line
We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.

How to begin
An owner with several properties should say so early — it usually simplifies things rather than complicating them.
Straight Answers
The part that does not flatter us.
Our size is the first thing you should test. Two properties, no scheme history, and a covenant you are entitled to examine before any of this becomes a plan. 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
Greater London: 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 Greater London 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 Greater London 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.
