Developers in Newbury
Newbury stock that is not earning.
We take Newbury stock on a company let and carry the void risk ourselves. You get one counterparty, one payment date and a term agreed in writing.
Three Ways We Work
Where we can help.
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
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
A completed phase taken as a unit, with break provisions so you can pull units back if the sales market turns. How this works →

How the numbers are worked out
Service charge, ground rent and who insures what all change the net position, so they are settled during pricing rather than discovered after handover.
Newbury
What actually happens
Whoever occupies the property does so under our agreement, not the developer's. The relationship stays with us and we deal with them.
Newbury
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
This suits an owner who wants the property to work without becoming a second job. It does not suit someone who wants to approve every booking — that is a different relationship and it does not run well.

The paperwork that has to be right
Deposit handling, where it applies, follows the statutory scheme. There is no discretion in it.
Newbury
The limits, stated up front
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.

Getting started
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
What you should check first.
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. 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
Before you send us a Newbury scheme.
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 Newbury 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 Newbury 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.
