Developers in Flint
Flint stock that is not earning.
For developers holding completed Flint units: a fixed monthly rent under one agreement, paid whether or not anyone is staying in the property.
Three Ways We Work
What we would take from a developer.
Unsold & Slow-Moving Units
We become the tenant on completed stock and pay monthly while you carry on marketing it, with an agreed notice period to get it back. How this works →
Site Team Accommodation
Whole properties near site for the crew, cleaned and serviced, instead of a scatter of travel hotels and loose receipts. How this works →
Whole Block or Phase
A block or completed phase let and run under one agreement, rather than sold plot by plot into a slow market. How this works →
Flint
How the numbers are worked out
Whatever is agreed gets written down before either side commits, including what happens if it stops working. A rent with no agreed exit is not a better deal, it is an argument scheduled for later.
Flint
The process, step by step
Both sides use solicitors. We are asking a developer to grant a lease to a company, and nobody should sign that on a handshake.
Flint
Is this right for you?
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.
Flint
Compliance, plainly
An electrical installation condition report has a life. So does a gas certificate. Both get diarised rather than remembered.
Flint
What we won't do
We do not chase volume for its own sake. A property taken on badly costs more than it earns.

Where to start
The quickest starts are the ones where compliance paperwork is already to hand. It is worth gathering it before getting in touch.

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. Where the numbers get serious, so does the security around them. That conversation happens early rather than late.
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
What developers want to know about Flint.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Flint 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 Flint 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 Flint scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
