Anchor client · Thriving Investments
Clapham Park, Lambeth
£53m GDV · 122 SO units · DM · client-side
The challenge

Vistry partnership · multi-developer
Langley Park, Chippenham
£42m GDV · 167 SO units · DM · multi-developer
The challenge
Historic planning issues had delayed the scheme. Within a multi-developer masterplan, the client needed closer control of sales readiness, quality and handover.
Our work
Reviewed the inherited development funding agreement, identified delivery risks and coordinated the developer, sales and marketing teams. Improved the handover process and secured a specification uplift and extended defects period.

“This one was delayed and needed a reset. Same developer, but the inherited contract needed real work. The relationship James built with the developer team got us a specification uplift and an extended defects period — units have come over to a high standard.”
— Tom Jewitt, Investment Associate, Thriving Investments
Distressed-asset rescue
Etherow Grange, Peak District
£45m GDV · 156 OM family homes · DD → DM mandate
The challenge
The client inherited a partly built scheme following developer insolvency. Outstanding planning conditions, fragmented approvals, missing warranties and gaps in quality assurance created significant delivery risk.
Our work
Consolidated project information, resolved planning conditions and warranty documentation, and ran a competitive tender. Agreed a fixed-price JCT design and build contract and helped restore the delivery programme.

“Jack took this scheme on for us following developer insolvency — we inherited planning risk and fragmented information. He agreed a fixed-price JCT, helped set up the funding-facility agreement and ensured compliance with it, and got the programme back on track. First handovers approaching: quality is good, cost is exactly on budget.”
— Elizabeth Brown, Investment Manager, Gresham
