Developers in Speke
Speke stock that is not earning.
For developers holding completed Speke units: a fixed monthly rent under one agreement, paid whether or not anyone is staying in the property.
Three Ways We Work
Three ways we work with developers.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Completed stock taken on a company let with a fixed monthly rent, and a break clause so you keep vacant possession for a sale. 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 →
Speke
The commercial mechanics
Condition and specification feed straight into the figure. A unit handed over finished, compliant and ready to occupy is worth more to us than one where the last fix is still outstanding.
Speke
What to expect once it starts
There is one point of contact rather than a rota. Whoever you agree the terms with is who you speak to when something needs sorting out.
Speke
Is this right for you?
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.
Speke
The compliance side
Deposit handling, where it applies, follows the statutory scheme. There is no discretion in it.

Where we draw the line
We do not present an estimate as a measurement. Where a figure is an estimate, it is labelled as one.

How to begin
An initial conversation is worth more than a form. Most of what matters — constraints, timing, what the owner actually wants — does not fit in a field.
Straight Answers
Straight about our size.
Be sceptical, and check us properly. We operate two properties, we have not run a developer scheme, and a rent is only ever worth what the company behind it is worth. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. On larger schemes a deposit, a guarantee or a staged take-up is the normal answer, not a sign of reluctance.
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 Speke housebuilders.
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 Speke 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 Speke 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.
