Harpenden stock that is not earning.
If Harpenden stock is finished but not selling, it can earn while it waits. One company let, one monthly payment, and vacant possession back when you have a buyer.
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
Beds for the people building it: your team together, near site, on one account that invoices once a month. 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 →
Harpenden
How the numbers are worked out
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.
Harpenden
What actually happens
Once the property is handed over, rent is paid on the same date each month for the term, whether or not anyone is staying in it. That is the arrangement itself, not a concession.
Harpenden
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.
Harpenden
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.
Harpenden
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.
Harpenden
Where to start
Getting in touch costs nothing and commits to nothing. That is not a sales line; it is how the process is set up.

Straight Answers
What you should check first.
Be sceptical, and check us properly. We operate two properties, we have not run a developer scheme, and a rent is only ever worth what the company behind it is worth. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. The bigger the scheme, the more structure it needs around it. We would ask for the same in your position.
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
Harpenden developer questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Harpenden 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 Harpenden units for sale?
Yes, and most developers do. A break clause lets you recover vacant possession on an agreed notice period once you have a buyer, and viewings are arranged with reasonable notice.
Is this an AST?
No. It is a company let: Maine Property Solutions Ltd becomes the tenant and carries the rent obligation. Your solicitor should read the agreement before you sign it, and we would expect them to.
How many Harpenden units would you take?
A single unit is straightforward. A whole block is a bigger step and will get a more cautious answer, because we are a small company - we would rather say that on the first call than three weeks into your programme.
