Developers in Stamford
Stamford stock that is not earning.
We take Stamford 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 ways we work with developers.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
We become the tenant on completed stock and pay monthly while you carry on marketing it, with an agreed notice period to get it back. 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 →
Stamford
What drives the number
Service charge, ground rent and who insures what all change the net position, so they are settled during pricing rather than discovered after handover.
Stamford
How it runs day to day
Both sides use solicitors. We are asking a developer to grant a lease to a company, and nobody should sign that on a handshake.
Stamford
Who gets the most from it
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Stamford
The paperwork that has to be right
The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.
Stamford
Things we don't do
We do not take on property we do not think will work. Turning something down costs us a fee and saves an owner a year of disappointment.
Stamford
Getting started
If the answer is that we are not the right fit, that gets said in the first conversation rather than the fourth.

Straight Answers
What you should check first.
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
Stamford: the practical questions.
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 Stamford 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 Stamford 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.
