01
Planning
Testing what a building could become, and pursuing the consents that allow it.
For property owners
What we do
to a building.
We fund the work, obtain the consents, manage the site and hand it back improved — and you keep the title throughout.
The work
Four kinds of work,
one programme.
02
Conversion
Changing what a building is — most often where its current configuration is the thing holding its value down.
03
Refurbishment
Bringing a tired or unlettable building back to a condition a lender and a tenant will both accept.
04
Managing the cycle
Running the site and the programme through to completion, reported monthly until exit.
How the work is paid for
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.
Four ways to structure it
How much of the outcome
you keep is a choice.
01
Milestone contract
You pay stage by stage against independent certificates, and keep the entire benefit of the scheme.
02
Uplift share
You pay nothing. We fund and deliver at our own cost and risk, and share the increase in value.
03
Option or promote agreement
For land. We pursue planning at our cost. If it is refused you keep your land and owe us nothing.
04
Lease and improve
We take a lease, refurbish at our cost, manage it, and pay you a guaranteed rent.
Where we usually start
Situations we are
asked about most.
- 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.

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.
