Developers in the South East
South East stock that is not earning.
For developers and housebuilders across the South East — 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
What we would take from a developer.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Rather than discount the last few plots, let them to us on a fixed rent and keep the asking price where you want it. 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 block or completed phase let and run under one agreement, rather than sold plot by plot into a slow market. How this works →
South East
What drives the number
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
Both sides use solicitors. We are asking a developer to grant a lease to a company, and nobody should sign that on a handshake.
South East
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
Where a property is genuinely unsuitable, saying so early costs one conversation. Saying so late costs both sides money.

Certificates, licensing and insurance
Where a council requires planning consent for a particular use, that is a question for the council and not for us to answer on their behalf. We will point an owner at the right place.
South East
Where we draw the line
We do not lock owners into terms they have not read. If somebody wants a week to have the agreement looked over, they should take it.

Where to start
The quickest starts are the ones where compliance paperwork is already to hand. It is worth gathering it before getting in touch.

Straight Answers
Read this before you rely on it.
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
South East schemes, explained.
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 South East 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 South East 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.
