Developers in Westhoughton
Westhoughton stock that is not earning.
An empty Westhoughton unit still costs finance, council tax and service charge every month it stands there. We take it on a company let and pay a fixed monthly rent instead.
Three Ways We Work
Three ways we work with developers.
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
Managed accommodation near site for your own staff and contractors, on one company account with a single monthly invoice. 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 →

How the numbers are worked out
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.

How the work gets done
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.
Westhoughton
Where this fits, and where it doesn't
An owner who has been let down before usually wants to know what happens when something goes wrong rather than what happens when it goes right. That is the correct question to ask.
Westhoughton
The compliance side
Compliance is not optional and it is not quick to retro-fit. Gas safety, electrical condition, fire equipment and the right insurance all need to be in place before anything goes live, and a missing certificate is the most common cause of a delayed start.
Westhoughton
Things we don't do
We are not a building contractor. Where work is needed we introduce the trades we use, and the contract for that work sits between the owner and the trade, priced before it starts.

Where to start
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.
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. 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
Westhoughton: the practical questions.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
Why would we let Westhoughton 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 Westhoughton 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 Westhoughton scheme details?
Yes, without fuss.
