Developers in South Ockendon

South Ockendon stock that is not earning.

We take South Ockendon 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

The three arrangements.

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

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 phase let as one thing to one counterparty, with the void risk sitting on our side of the line. How this works →

South Ockendon

The commercial mechanics

We price the scheme in front of us rather than the postcode. Two developments a mile apart can support very different figures once access, parking, service charge and layout are taken into account.

South Ockendon

What actually happens

Compliance paperwork usually decides the timeline rather than the legals. Certificates and sign-offs land when they land, and we would rather wait for them than take on a unit we should not.

South Ockendon

Where this fits, and where it doesn't

It works for owners who are some distance away, because nothing about it requires them to be nearby.

South Ockendon

The paperwork that has to be right

The paperwork is dull and it is the part that protects an owner when something goes wrong. It gets done properly rather than quickly.

South Ockendon

Things we don't do

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.

South Ockendon

Where to start

Send the property details and any photographs or an online link. That is usually enough for a first view on whether it is worth going further.

Straight Answers

Straight about our size.

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. 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

South Ockendon schemes, explained.

Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.

Why would we let South Ockendon 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 South Ockendon 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 South Ockendon scheme details?

Yes, without fuss.

South Ockendon units not moving?

Unit count, tenure and when it completed is enough to start. No fee, nothing to sign, and a real answer rather than a hedged one.
