Ideal properties are between 250 and 800 square metres, with vacant possession or short tenancies preferred.
We also consider blocks of between 4 and 12 flats on a single freehold title, in any condition.
We prioritise properties in Sussex and the South East, ideally located below the M25.

Do you work with estate agents?
Absolutely. Estate agents are a key part of our sourcing strategy. In addition to the standard commission earned from sellers, we also compensate agents for bringing suitable off-market opportunities to us - this applies to both commercial agents introducing commercial or industrial buildings, and residential agents presenting blocks of flats.
We also collaborate with local residential estate agents during the design and planning stages of our developments to ensure they align with local demographics and market demand, as well as to sell the homes once we are ready to bring them to market.

Are you looking for new projects?
Yes, always. If a project aligns with our criteria, we are able to move quickly to offer and exchange. We value solid relationships with estate agents, sourcers, and property owners who understand what we’re looking for.

Do you fund projects yourself?
We typically use a combination of our own funds and capital from one of the private investors on our panel to acquire properties. Development work is usually financed through specialist lenders, though some private investors may choose to fund this stage as well.
How do you work with private investors?
We work with a small, carefully selected group of investors and always operate in compliance with FCA regulations. We welcome conversations with interested individuals who share our values and long-term vision. We also match specific projects to investors based on their preferences and investment goals – there is no one-size-fits-all approach. For more information, please see our Investors page.
