Kettering stock that is not earning.
An empty Kettering 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 would take from a developer.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Completed stock taken on a company let with a fixed monthly rent, and a break clause so you keep vacant possession for a sale. How this works →
Site Team Accommodation
Somewhere sensible for a travelling crew to stay, with kitchen and laundry, run by us and billed to the company. 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 →

How we price it
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.

What to expect once it starts
Compliance paperwork usually decides the timeline rather than the legals. Certificates and sign-offs land when they land, and we would rather wait for them than take on a unit we should not.

Is this right for you?
Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.
Kettering
The compliance side
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.

What we won't do
We are not a building contractor. Where work is needed we introduce the trades we use, and the contract for that work sits between the owner and the trade, priced before it starts.

Where to start
Send the property details and any photographs or an online link. That is usually enough for a first view on whether it is worth going further.

Straight Answers
Straight about our size.
We would rather you heard this from us than found it in a credit check: we operate two properties and have never run a developer scheme. The offer is a contractual one, and it deserves the same scrutiny you would give any new counterparty. 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
Before you send us a Kettering scheme.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Kettering 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 Kettering 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 Kettering 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.
