Developers in Crowborough
Crowborough stock that is not earning.
Finished Crowborough units, beds for your site team, or a whole phase under one agreement — each of them a fixed monthly sum rather than a holding cost.
Three Ways We Work
The three arrangements.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
Completed stock taken on a company let with a fixed monthly rent, and a break clause so you keep vacant possession for a sale. 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
A phase let as one thing to one counterparty, with the void risk sitting on our side of the line. How this works →
Crowborough
What drives the number
Service charge, ground rent and who insures what all change the net position, so they are settled during pricing rather than discovered after handover.
Crowborough
How the work gets done
Both sides use solicitors. We are asking a developer to grant a lease to a company, and nobody should sign that on a handshake.
Crowborough
Who gets the most from it
It works best where the owner wants a clear line between ownership and operation. Where somebody wants to stay closely involved day to day, the arrangement tends to create friction rather than remove it.
Crowborough
Compliance, plainly
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.
Crowborough
What we won't do
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.
Crowborough
How to begin
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
Read this before you rely on it.
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. A phased start is usually the sensible structure on anything substantial, and we will suggest it before you have to.
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 Crowborough housebuilders.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Crowborough 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 Crowborough 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 Crowborough scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
