Maine Stays / Councils / Warwick District
For Warwick District housing officersFamily-sized homes for Warwick District placements.
Houses big enough for a family, furnished and ready, with bills and Wi-Fi included.
Placements
How a whole home fits a placement.
Temporary accommodation budgets are under pressure across the country. Knowing exactly what a placement includes, from bills to Wi-Fi to cleaning between households, helps officers compare options properly.
Some households need a ground-floor bedroom, some need room for a carer and some are simply large. Telling us the household's needs at the start means we only offer a home that fits.
The authority
Placements for Warwick District.
Warwick District Council is the housing authority for Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Whitnash, Cubbington, Baginton and Burton Green.
The district borders Coventry to the north, where Sullivan Heights and Humber Hub are.
Warwick District covers Warwick, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and Whitnash, with Coventry immediately to the north. Where a household's life is centred on Kenilworth or the northern villages, a Coventry home can be close at hand. For the southern towns, tell us the area that matters and we will say plainly what we can offer.

Questions
Questions officers ask.
What standard does a home meet before it is offered?
A home is offered for a placement only once its certificates, its fire risk assessment and the written consents are in place.
Can a family with children be placed?
Yes. Family-sized houses with their own kitchen and bathroom are an alternative to bed and breakfast.
How is the length of stay agreed?
With the council before arrival, then reviewed if the household's move-on date changes.
Are placements whole homes or rooms?
Whole, self-contained homes, one household to each home.
Who books the home?
The council. Placement terms are agreed with the council in writing before the household arrives.
Is a placement in your homes outside our district?
Yes, for our Coventry homes. Section 208 of the Housing Act 1996 then requires notice to Coventry City Council as the receiving authority. We can confirm the home's details for that notice.
Where are the homes for Warwick District placements?
The district borders Coventry to the north, where Sullivan Heights and Humber Hub are.
Can landlords in Warwick District offer homes for placements?
Yes. Maine Property Solutions leases whole homes from landlords for council placements, with the consents a placement needs.
