Developers in Ryde
Ryde stock that is not earning.
An empty Ryde 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
What we can take on.
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
Whole properties near site for the crew, cleaned and serviced, instead of a scatter of travel hotels and loose receipts. 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 →
Ryde
The commercial mechanics
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.
Ryde
What actually happens
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.
Ryde
Is this right for you?
An owner who has been let down before usually wants to know what happens when something goes wrong rather than what happens when it goes right. That is the correct question to ask.
Ryde
The paperwork that has to be right
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.

Where we draw the line
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.

Where to start
We would rather spend longer on the first conversation and less on fixing a misunderstanding later.
Straight Answers
Before you plan around us.
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. On anything larger than a handful of units, expect a rent deposit, a guarantee or a shorter first term to be part of the conversation.
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
Straight answers for Ryde developers.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Ryde units rather than just discount them?
A discount is permanent and a letting is not. If the sales market is slow rather than broken, income across the slow period plus a break clause for when a buyer appears usually beats cutting the asking price on the last few plots.
What happens to the Ryde agreement if we sell the block?
The agreement is with the property, so a buyer takes it subject to our lease. That is worth raising with your agent early, because for some buyers an income-producing block is more attractive and for others it is not.
Can you house our site team instead?
That is a separate arrangement we also offer: managed accommodation near site for your own staff and contractors, on one company account with a single monthly invoice.
Who is responsible for gas, electrical and fire safety?
A lease does not make an owner's safety duties disappear and we will not pretend otherwise. Which obligations sit where is written into the agreement before anyone signs, and both solicitors should look at that clause specifically.
Will you sign an NDA before we send Ryde scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
