Homes wanted · SouthamTalk to us about your home in Southam.
The homes our guests book come from owners like you. Here is how it works in Southam.
Who stays
The guests your home would host.
The people who stay in the homes we run are mostly at work all day. They want a quiet street, a kitchen they can cook in and a home that is clean when they arrive.
A guest might be here for a week of commissioning work or three months on a placement. Either way they want the same things: space, quiet and a kitchen.
What works
What suits working guests.
Every home is judged on its own merits, but these are the things that make a property in Southam a good fit.
- A kitchen big enough to cook a proper meal
- Current gas, electrical and energy certificates
- A layout that gives each guest some privacy
- Good repair, with no major works outstanding
- A lender and insurer who allow the use
Three routes
Management, a company let or a quiet sale.
We manage it
A fee on room revenue, never on cleaning charges, shown on a monthly statement you can check.
Read more →Lease it to us
A fixed monthly sum from Maine Property Solutions as lessee, with the term and the repairs split agreed before you sign.
Read more →Sell it quietly
For owners ready to sell privately: an introduction to investors, vacant or with occupiers in place.
Read more →Council placements
A lease to Maine Property Solutions for whole-home council placements, never room by room.

What to know locally.
Southam sits within Stratford-on-Avon District Council. If a home is used for short stays, the planning position and council tax are part of the conversation from the start.
Our homes are Sullivan Heights and Humber Hub in Coventry and The Merry Hill Lounge in the Dudley borough.

Questions
Questions from owners in Southam.
Do you need the home to be vacant?
For management or a company let, yes, when it starts. For a quiet sale it can be let.
Who cleans between guests?
Maine Stays arranges cleaning and linen between stays.
What about council tax?
It depends on how the home is used. We go through it with you before anything starts.
Can you take more than one home?
Yes. Each home is looked at on its own merits.
Let us know what you own.
Whatever the route, the terms come in writing before anyone signs.
