Developers in Whitehaven
Whitehaven stock that is not earning.
Development finance does not pause because a unit in Whitehaven has not sold. We take completed stock on a company let — one agreement, one payer, a fixed sum every month whether the property is occupied or not.
Three Ways We Work
What we can take on.
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
Managed accommodation near site for your own staff and contractors, on one company account with a single monthly invoice. How this works →
Whole Block or Phase
A phase let as one thing to one counterparty, with the void risk sitting on our side of the line. How this works →

How the numbers are worked out
Whatever is agreed gets written down before either side commits, including what happens if it stops working. A rent with no agreed exit is not a better deal, it is an argument scheduled for later.
Whitehaven
What to expect once it starts
Heads of terms come before lawyers. Rent, term, break provisions, condition standards and who holds which obligation are agreed in plain language first, so the drafting is a formality rather than a negotiation.
Whitehaven
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.

The compliance side
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.
Whitehaven
Where we draw the line
We do not lock owners into terms they have not read. If somebody wants a week to have the agreement looked over, they should take it.
Whitehaven
Where to start
The first step is an appraisal, and it is free. An owner who decides against it afterwards has lost nothing but an hour.

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. 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
Before you send us a Whitehaven scheme.
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 Whitehaven 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 Whitehaven 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.
