St Austell stock that is not earning.
We take St Austell stock on a company let and carry the void risk ourselves. You get one counterparty, one payment date and a term agreed in writing.
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
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
One agreement and one payer across a whole phase, instead of a stack of individual lettings and holding costs. How this works →
St Austell
How we price it
Unit mix matters more than unit count. Studios and three-beds behave differently, and one figure spread evenly across a mixed phase is usually wrong for half of it.
St Austell
The process, step by step
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.
St Austell
Who gets the most from it
The owners who get most from it are the ones who tell us their constraints early: dates they need, works they will not fund, tenants they will not take. Constraints are easy to design around and awkward to discover.
St Austell
The paperwork that has to be right
Insurance written for standard residential letting usually will not cover the intended use. It is worth checking before rather than discovering after.
St Austell
What we won't do
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.
St Austell
Where to start
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
Read this before you rely on it.
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 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
What developers want to know about St Austell.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let St Austell 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 St Austell 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 St Austell scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
