Developers in Caerphilly
Caerphilly stock that is not earning.
An empty Caerphilly 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 ways we work with developers.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Rather than discount the last few plots, let them to us on a fixed rent and keep the asking price where you want it. How this works →
Site Team Accommodation
Somewhere sensible for a travelling crew to stay, with kitchen and laundry, run by us and billed to the company. How this works →
Whole Block or Phase
One agreement and one payer across a whole phase, instead of a stack of individual lettings and holding costs. How this works →
Caerphilly
The commercial mechanics
If the numbers do not work we say so and explain why. A scheme priced badly to win the instruction becomes a scheme we cannot service, and that is worse for a developer than an early no.
Caerphilly
What actually happens
Both sides use solicitors. We are asking a developer to grant a lease to a company, and nobody should sign that on a handshake.
Caerphilly
Is this right for you?
First-time landlords are welcome, and they get told more than they ask for rather than less.
Caerphilly
The compliance side
Where a council requires planning consent for a particular use, that is a question for the council and not for us to answer on their behalf. We will point an owner at the right place.
Caerphilly
The limits, stated up front
We do not advise on finance or tax. Those are jobs for a broker and an accountant, and we will say so rather than improvise.
Caerphilly
The first step
We would rather spend longer on the first conversation and less on fixing a misunderstanding later.
Straight Answers
The part that does not flatter us.
Be sceptical, and check us properly. We operate two properties, we have not run a developer scheme, and a rent is only ever worth what the company behind it is worth. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. On anything larger than a handful of units, expect a rent deposit, a guarantee or a shorter first term to be part of the conversation.
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 Caerphilly housebuilders.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly 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 Caerphilly scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
