The Market
Why Lichfield works for investors.
Lichfield sits inside the West Midlands, one of our active sourcing regions. Lichfield is an affluent cathedral city with direct rail into Birmingham and London.
The West Midlands is one of the UK's most active investor markets, and it's the region we know best. Birmingham anchors it — the country's second city, with HS2's Curzon Street terminus, the Smithfield regeneration and five universities driving relentless rental demand. Around it sit some of England's most affordable entry points: Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton and the Black Country towns, where tired terraces and unmodernised homes still change hands at prices that leave room for a refurbishment margin.
When owners in Lichfield want a fast, discreet sale, that stock reaches our investor list before it reaches a portal — tell us your budget and works appetite when you register.

Lichfield
How the figure is reached
A deal with no contingency is not a deal. We would rather the numbers were dull and robust than exciting and fragile.
Lichfield
How it runs day to day
Registering criteria is the whole first step: budget band, target areas, strategy and how much work is acceptable. Without those we cannot match anything sensibly.
Lichfield
Who gets the most from it
First-time landlords are welcome. They get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Lichfield
Compliance, plainly
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.
Lichfield
The limits, stated up front
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.
Lichfield
Getting started
There is no obligation at any stage before signature. That is said plainly rather than buried.

Nearby towns we also cover
Every strategy has its own guide, from BRRR and flips to HMOs and buy-to-let.
Your Questions
Lichfield investor questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What kind of Lichfield stock do you source?
Off-market property that needs work — tired, unmodernised, probate and motivated-seller stock — matched to a buyer's budget, target areas and appetite for works.
Do you project-manage refurbishments?
No. Maine Property Solutions is not a building contractor. We introduce you to the trades we use; the contract and the work sit between you and them.
What are the fees?
Agreed per deal in writing and payable only on completion. Nothing is due for looking.
What happens after I buy?
Your choice — sell it on, let it, or have us run it as serviced accommodation. The exit is yours to pick and we are not tied to any one of them.
