St Helens stock that is not earning.
We take St Helens 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
Three things we do.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Slow-moving completed units taken on a company let, priced for the term rather than for the first month. 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
Whole-block lettings under a single company let, with a phased start if that suits both sides better. How this works →
St Helens
The commercial mechanics
A figure quoted before anyone has looked at the scheme is a guess. We would rather take a day and give you a number we can hold for the full term than win the conversation with something we quietly revise in month seven.

How the work gets done
At the end of the term the property comes back to the standard set out at handover, fair wear and tear excepted. What that standard is was written down before we took it on.
St Helens
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
It suits someone who values a predictable outcome over an occasional excellent month. If the excellent month is the point, a different model fits better.
St Helens
Certificates, licensing and insurance
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 guarantee returns, and an owner should treat anyone who does with suspicion. Property outcomes depend on things nobody controls.

The first step
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.
We are small. Two properties operated, no developer schemes completed, and an honest expectation that you will verify all of that rather than take it on trust. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. For a block or a phase, assume we will be asked for security of some kind, and assume we will agree that it is reasonable.
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 St Helens developers.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a St Helens 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 St Helens 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 St Helens 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.
