Developers in Middleton
Middleton stock that is not earning.
Development finance does not pause because a unit in Middleton has not sold. We take completed stock on a company let — one agreement, one payer, a fixed sum every month whether the property is occupied or not.
Three Ways We Work
Three ways we work with developers.
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
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 →

What drives the number
Term length changes the number. A longer commitment is worth more to us and lets us offer more; a short term with an early break carries risk that has to be priced rather than ignored.

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.

Who gets the most from it
It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.
Middleton
The paperwork that has to be right
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.

Where we draw the line
We do not guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.

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

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. 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
Middleton schemes, explained.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Middleton 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 Middleton 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 Middleton 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.
