Developers in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough stock that is not earning.
An empty Middlesbrough 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
The three arrangements.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
We become the tenant on completed stock and pay monthly while you carry on marketing it, with an agreed notice period to get it back. 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 →
Middlesbrough
The commercial mechanics
The rent sits below the best a unit might achieve in a strong month, and it should. What you are buying is certainty and the removal of void risk, and that carries a price on both sides of the deal.

The process, step by step
Handover runs off a schedule of condition with photographs, agreed by both sides on the day. It is the document that settles every argument about wear and tear before there is one.
Middlesbrough
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.

The compliance side
Deposit handling, where it applies, follows the statutory scheme. There is no discretion in it.
Middlesbrough
The limits, stated up front
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.

Questions are welcome before commitment, including the awkward ones about what happens when something goes wrong.

Straight Answers
Read this before you rely on it.
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. 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
Common questions from Middlesbrough housebuilders.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Middlesbrough 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 Middlesbrough 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 Middlesbrough 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.
