Developers in Swindon
Swindon stock that is not earning.
For developers holding completed Swindon units: a fixed monthly rent under one agreement, paid whether or not anyone is staying in the property.
Three Ways We Work
The three arrangements.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Finished units producing income while they sit on the market, with vacant possession returned on agreed notice. 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
A block or completed phase let and run under one agreement, rather than sold plot by plot into a slow market. How this works →
Swindon
The commercial mechanics
Service charge, ground rent and who insures what all change the net position, so they are settled during pricing rather than discovered after handover.
Swindon
The process, step by step
Both sides use solicitors. We are asking a developer to grant a lease to a company, and nobody should sign that on a handshake.
Swindon
Who gets the most from it
It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.
Swindon
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Anything that is the owner's statutory responsibility stays the owner's responsibility, and the agreement says which items those are.
Swindon
Where we draw the line
We do not market a property an owner has asked us to keep private. Confidentiality is not a premium service.

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
Before you plan around us.
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. 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
Swindon developer questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Swindon 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 Swindon 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 Swindon 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.
