Developers in Woking
Woking stock that is not earning.
An empty Woking unit still costs finance, council tax and service charge every month it stands there. We take it on a company let and pay a fixed monthly rent instead.
Three Ways We Work
What we can take on.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
A finished unit that has not sold earns a fixed monthly sum instead of a council tax bill, and comes back to you when a buyer appears. How this works →
Site Team Accommodation
Site team accommodation arranged and managed, so your people are housed together and the paperwork arrives monthly. 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 →
Woking
The commercial mechanics
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.
Woking
What to expect once it starts
Both sides use solicitors. We are asking a developer to grant a lease to a company, and nobody should sign that on a handshake.
Woking
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
It is a poor fit for a property that needs substantial work first. That is a different conversation and usually a different service.
Woking
The paperwork that has to be right
Deposit handling, where it applies, follows the statutory scheme. There is no discretion in it.

Where we draw the line
We do not present an estimate as a measurement. Where a figure is an estimate, it is labelled as one.
Woking
Getting started
There is no obligation at any stage before signature, and that is said plainly rather than buried.

Straight Answers
Where we actually are.
We would rather you heard this from us than found it in a credit check: we operate two properties and have never run a developer scheme. The offer is a contractual one, and it deserves the same scrutiny you would give any new counterparty. 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
Straight answers for Woking developers.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Do you actually pay if a Woking 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 Woking 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 Woking 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.
