Hatfield stock that is not earning.
An empty Hatfield unit still costs finance, council tax and service charge every month it stands there. We take it on a company let and pay a fixed monthly rent instead.
Three Ways We Work
What we can take on.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
A finished unit that has not sold earns a fixed monthly sum instead of a council tax bill, and comes back to you when a buyer appears. 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 completed phase taken as a unit, with break provisions so you can pull units back if the sales market turns. How this works →
Hatfield
What drives the number
Service charge, ground rent and who insures what all change the net position, so they are settled during pricing rather than discovered after handover.
Hatfield
What actually happens
At the end of the term the property comes back to the standard set out at handover, fair wear and tear excepted. What that standard is was written down before we took it on.
Hatfield
Is this right for you?
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.
Hatfield
The paperwork that has to be right
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Hatfield
What we won't do
We do not guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.
Hatfield
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
Read this before you rely on it.
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. On larger schemes a deposit, a guarantee or a staged take-up is the normal answer, not a sign of reluctance.
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
What developers want to know about Hatfield.
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 Hatfield 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 Hatfield 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.
