Developers in Rayleigh
Rayleigh stock that is not earning.
Development finance does not pause because a unit in Rayleigh 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
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
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 →
Rayleigh
How we price it
The rent we can commit to comes from what the units would realistically let for across the whole term, less what it costs to run them and the value of carrying the void risk. It is arithmetic on a specific scheme, not a percentage applied to an asking price.
Rayleigh
The process, step by step
If units are needed back for a sale, the break provisions agreed at the start are what govern. Give the notice that was agreed and we plan around it.
Rayleigh
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.
Rayleigh
The compliance side
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.

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

How to begin
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.

Straight Answers
Straight about our size.
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. Where the numbers get serious, so does the security around them. That conversation happens early rather than late.
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
Rayleigh: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh 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 Rayleigh 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.
