Developers in Hertford
Hertford stock that is not earning.
We take Hertford stock on a company let and carry the void risk ourselves. You get one counterparty, one payment date and a term agreed in writing.
Three Ways We Work
Three things we do.
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
A completed phase taken as a unit, with break provisions so you can pull units back if the sales market turns. How this works →
Hertford
The commercial mechanics
Unit mix matters more than unit count. Studios and three-beds behave differently, and one figure spread evenly across a mixed phase is usually wrong for half of it.
Hertford
What actually happens
Handover runs off a schedule of condition with photographs, agreed by both sides on the day. It is the document that settles every argument about wear and tear before there is one.
Hertford
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
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.
Hertford
The paperwork that has to be right
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.
Hertford
What we won't do
We do not market a property an owner has asked us to keep private. Confidentiality is not a premium service.
Hertford
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
Straight about our size.
We are small. Two properties operated, no developer schemes completed, and an honest expectation that you will verify all of that rather than take it on trust. Company No. 16187542, and we will hand over what you need to check it properly. For a block or a phase, assume we will be asked for security of some kind, and assume we will agree that it is reasonable.
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
Before you send us a Hertford scheme.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Hertford 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 Hertford 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 Hertford scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
