Developers in Cambridge
Cambridge stock that is not earning.
For developers holding completed Cambridge units: a fixed monthly rent under one agreement, paid whether or not anyone is staying in the property.
Three Ways We Work
The three arrangements.
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 →
Cambridge
The commercial mechanics
A figure quoted before anyone has looked at the scheme is a guess. We would rather take a day and give you a number we can hold for the full term than win the conversation with something we quietly revise in month seven.
Cambridge
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.
Cambridge
Is this right for you?
Portfolio owners tend to find it simplest, because consolidated reporting removes the per-property admin that makes a portfolio tiring.
Cambridge
Certificates, licensing and insurance
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.
Cambridge
Things we don't do
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.
Cambridge
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
Before you plan around us.
Our size is the first thing you should test. Two properties, no scheme history, and a covenant you are entitled to examine before any of this becomes a plan. 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
Cambridge schemes, explained.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Cambridge 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 Cambridge 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 Cambridge scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
