Developers in the North West

North West stock that is not earning.

For developers and housebuilders across the North West — completed units on a company let, beds for the site team, or a whole phase under one agreement. A fixed monthly sum, occupied or not.

Three Ways We Work

Three ways we work with developers.

Unsold & Slow-Moving Units

Finished units producing income while they sit on the market, with vacant possession returned on agreed notice. 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 block or completed phase let and run under one agreement, rather than sold plot by plot into a slow market. How this works →

How the numbers are worked out

Whatever is agreed gets written down before either side commits, including what happens if it stops working. A rent with no agreed exit is not a better deal, it is an argument scheduled for later.

How the work gets done

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 for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.

Certificates, licensing and insurance

Compliance is not optional and it is not quick to retro-fit. Gas safety, electrical condition, fire equipment and the right insurance all need to be in place before anything goes live, and a missing certificate is the most common cause of a delayed start.

The limits, stated up front

We do not use a landlord's property to test something we have not done before.

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.

Maine Property Solutions Ltd is a young company. We operate two properties of our own and we have not yet run a developer scheme, so what we are offering is a contract rather than a track record. Run your covenant check before you rely on the rent. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. A phased start is usually the sensible structure on anything substantial, and we will suggest it before you have to.

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 North West housebuilders.

Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.

Do you actually pay if a North West 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 North West 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 North West 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.

Who are you?

Maine Property Solutions Ltd, Companies House number 16187542, registered office Office 1, Izabella House, 24-26 Regent Place, Birmingham B1 3NJ.

North West units not moving?

Unit count, tenure and when it completed is enough to start. No fee, nothing to sign, and a real answer rather than a hedged one.
