Developer-led. Investor-first.
Our due diligence
We have run build programmes, argued with contractors and carried funding risk on thirty-six of our own schemes. We apply that experience to every partner development before an investor ever sees it.
Five stages
What we examine, in order
If a scheme fails at any stage, we do not list it — regardless of the commission on offer.
01
Developer assessment
- Filed accounts for the last three years, plus management accounts where available
- Completion history with published and actual handover dates
- Contractor arrangements, warranty provider and monitoring surveyor
- Directors' history, including previous corporate failures
02
Scheme assessment
- Planning consent, conditions discharged and any Section 106 obligations
- Build contract form, contingency and cost-inflation exposure
- Specification benchmarked against what the local tenant market pays for
- Service charge modelled to completion, not quoted at launch
03
Location assessment
- Tenant demand drivers: employment, universities, transport committed and funded
- Pipeline supply within one mile over the following four years
- Achieved rents from letting agents, not developer projections
04
Pricing assessment
- Price per square foot against registered completed sales in the postcode
- Whether the investor is paying a reseller margin on top of developer pricing
- Payment structure and where deposit money is held before completion
05
Exit assessment
- Second-hand sales evidence in comparable nearby buildings
- Leasehold terms, ground rent and lender acceptability on resale
- Realistic disposal window and likely buyer profile at exit
