Developers in Abingdon
Abingdon stock that is not earning.
An empty Abingdon 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
Three things we do.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Finished units producing income while they sit on the market, with vacant possession returned on agreed notice. How this works →
Site Team Accommodation
Beds for the people building it: your team together, near site, on one account that invoices once a month. How this works →
Whole Block or Phase
A phase let as one thing to one counterparty, with the void risk sitting on our side of the line. How this works →
Abingdon
The commercial mechanics
Term length changes the number. A longer commitment is worth more to us and lets us offer more; a short term with an early break carries risk that has to be priced rather than ignored.
Abingdon
What to expect once it starts
Once the property is handed over, rent is paid on the same date each month for the term, whether or not anyone is staying in it. That is the arrangement itself, not a concession.
Abingdon
Is this right for you?
The owners who get most from it are the ones who tell us their constraints early: dates they need, works they will not fund, tenants they will not take. Constraints are easy to design around and awkward to discover.
Abingdon
Compliance, plainly
Compliance is not optional and it is not quick to retro-fit. Gas safety, electrical condition, fire equipment and the right insurance all need to be in place before anything goes live, and a missing certificate is the most common cause of a delayed start.
Abingdon
Where we draw the line
We do not take on property we do not think will work. Turning something down costs us a fee and saves an owner a year of disappointment.
Abingdon
The first step
An initial conversation is worth more than a form. Most of what matters — constraints, timing, what the owner actually wants — does not fit in a field.
Straight Answers
What you should check first.
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
Common questions from Abingdon housebuilders.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Abingdon units rather than just discount them?
A discount is permanent and a letting is not. If the sales market is slow rather than broken, income across the slow period plus a break clause for when a buyer appears usually beats cutting the asking price on the last few plots.
What happens to the Abingdon agreement if we sell the block?
The agreement is with the property, so a buyer takes it subject to our lease. That is worth raising with your agent early, because for some buyers an income-producing block is more attractive and for others it is not.
Can you house our site team instead?
That is a separate arrangement we also offer: managed accommodation near site for your own staff and contractors, on one company account with a single monthly invoice.
Who is responsible for gas, electrical and fire safety?
A lease does not make an owner's safety duties disappear and we will not pretend otherwise. Which obligations sit where is written into the agreement before anyone signs, and both solicitors should look at that clause specifically.
Will you sign an NDA before we send Abingdon scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
