PLC housebuilding experience
London & Home Counties
Agreed decision rights
Transparent monthly reporting

Clarity before commitment

A proposal you can stand behind

Recommending a development partner means answering to the principal or investment committee. You need a clear view of the people, the assumptions and the decisions that could change the outcome.

We combine PLC housebuilding experience with detailed due diligence and transparent reporting, so you can assess the opportunity, retain agreed decision rights and delegate daily delivery.

Assess the case clearly

Review the planning strategy, cost plan, funding requirement and downside scenarios in one consistent proposal.

Understand your exposure

Agree capital commitments, drawdown stages and how additional funding requests will be handled.

Keep oversight manageable

Receive monthly reporting on costs, programme, risks and decisions requiring your attention.

Know the economics

See management fees, sponsor contributions and the proposed profit allocation before committing.

Two routes. One considered partnership.

Choose the approach that suits your investment priorities

Illustrative land with a planning-led disposal opportunity01

Planning uplift and land disposal

Pursue value through an agreed planning strategy and a land-sale exit. Assess site control, planning costs, likely obligations and buyer evidence before committing. Consent and a profitable disposal are uncertain.

Residential development

Take an approved opportunity through procurement, construction and sale, supported by a detailed appraisal, funding plan and delivery programme.

Each proposal identifies the site, the value-creation strategy and the proposed exit. Your office decides which opportunities to assess.

A defined process

Know what you are approving at each stage

A site-specific proposal. Documented responsibilities. Clear approval points from initial assessment to eventual exit.

  1. 01

    Define your investment priorities

    We discuss geography, capital availability, planning exposure, target holding period and the evidence your principal or committee needs.

  2. 02

    Review a specific opportunity

    Where a suitable site is available, review the commercial case, capital requirement, key risks and proposed route to exit.

  3. 03

    Complete diligence and agree terms

    Challenge the assumptions with your advisers. Agree responsibilities, fees, funding limits, reserved decisions and profit distribution in the project documents before commitment.

  4. 04

    Approve delivery in defined stages

    Planning and construction have separate approval points. We coordinate the appointed consultants and contractors within the agreed scope, with changes escalated under the documented process.

  5. 05

    Review progress and the eventual outcome

    Monthly reports explain budget movements, programme changes and decisions required. At exit, the completion account shows actual costs and how available proceeds are distributed.

Decision-ready information

The information your
investment team needs

  • A principal summary and detailed appraisal with cash-flow and downside scenarios to mitigate risk.
  • Planning, title and technical findings, with unresolved diligence points visible.
  • A funding schedule, fee budget and explanation of decision rights.
  • A reporting schedule, risk register and site-specific exit assessment.

Before the conversation

Questions before
we speak

How involved does our office need to be?

Your team carries out its investment diligence and retains the decisions agreed in the JV documents. We coordinate daily delivery. Funding approvals, material changes and exit decisions still require your office’s involvement.

How are fees and profits shared?

Each project has a disclosed management-fee budget and a negotiated share of realised, distributable profit. The documents define priorities, costs and loss allocation. Management fees may be paid even if a project makes a loss.

How much capital is required?

The requirement follows the site appraisal and funding plan. We discuss available capital and drawdown preferences first, then set out the proposed commitment and funding process for each opportunity.

Can we focus on planning and a land sale?

Yes, where the site and your mandate support that approach. A planning-and-disposal JV can be assessed without committing to construction.

Could we simply provide capital for an annual percentage return?

Yes. We're open to discussing this as a possibility.

How is tax efficiency considered?

We work with appointed legal and tax advisers to consider the structure alongside your office’s requirements. Any tax benefit depends on the project and investor circumstances; tax rules can change. Obtain your own advice before committing.

Can our capital or return be guaranteed?

No. Equity capital is at risk. Planning, costs, finance and market conditions can affect returns and timing. Any distribution priority or security must be assessed under the actual documents and lender rights.

When can we exit?

Each proposal includes an intended exit and delay scenarios. Timing depends on planning, delivery and market conditions.
