Milestone contract
You pay stage by stage against independent certificates, and keep the entire benefit of the scheme.
For property owners
You own it.
We make it work harder.
If you own a property that is underperforming — empty, tired, badly configured, or simply worth more as something other than what it is — you do not have to sell it to release that value, you do not have to run a building site, and you do not have to find the money first.
You may recognise one of these
The property is fine.
The situation is not.
- The property is empty and has been for some time.
- It is tired, and letting or selling it in its present state undersells it.
- The configuration is wrong — too large for one household, or badly divided.
- It is worth more as something other than what it currently is.
- It needs refurbishment before a lender will treat it as security.
- There is planning potential that has never been tested.
- There is real equity in the building and no spare cash to work with.
What usually stops an owner
Four reasons a good building
stays as it is.
- 01
No spare capital
The equity is real but it is locked in the building.
- 02
No appetite for a building site
Finding trades, chasing them, absorbing the overruns.
- 03
No certainty about the outcome
Nobody wants to spend £150,000 to find out.
- 04
Fear of losing control
Handing your asset to someone with no written obligations.
Four ways to structure it
Four ways
to work with us.
Which one fits depends on the building, the consents it needs and how much of the outcome you want to keep.
Uplift share
You pay nothing. We fund and deliver at our own cost and risk, and share the increase in value.
Option or promote agreement
For land. We pursue planning at our cost. If it is refused you keep your land and owe us nothing.
Lease and improve
We take a lease, refurbish at our cost, manage it, and pay you a guaranteed rent.
How a project runs
Certified first.
Paid second.
Work is divided into defined stages. Each is certified by an independent surveyor before it is paid for, and only then does the next begin. Nothing is paid in advance of completed work.
- 01TalkTwenty minutes on the property or the mandate. No cost and no commitment.
- 02AppraiseCosted line by line — including stamp duty, finance, holding and the VAT position — with the downside case on the same page as the upside.
- 03StructureHeads of terms, funding route, and documents drafted for your own solicitor to review.
- 04DeliverStage by stage, certified before paid, reported monthly until exit.

If the numbers do not work,
we will tell you.
It is cheaper for both of us than finding out on site. Bring us an address, or a question.
