A Build Guarantee is a certificate issued by either a specialist insurance company or architects or specialists consultant who guarantees the works carried out for a period of time, some of these providers are NHBC, LABC, build zone, Zurich premier guarantee and building warranty, there are many suppliers available to the market, and our warranty should be put in place before you start any build.
At Complete, we have many years of experience in acquiring and disposing of development land. There are many ways of constructing a land sale or acquisition of transactions such as outright sale or purchase, joint venture, option agreements, subject to planning agreements, promotional agreements or pre-emption agreements if you are looking to either dispose or acquire land in any format don’t hesitate to get in touch with our experienced team to discuss.
There are many ways to appraise potential opportunities, but fundamentally an appraisal needs to produce a net return after all costs. At Complete, when we appraise any opportunity, we always consider Gross development value (GDV), rental yields and investment potential. We have built our own state-of-the-art appraisal process, which we are happy to share with customers ensuring the opportunity is right for them. Under new planning legislation, more local authorities are encouraging and in some instances insisting on significant developments that custom or self-build pots are being provided.
A custom build plot is bought by a self-builder but with a custom-build contract built into the transaction.
A self-build, the plot is bought and developed by the self-builder themselves. Having acquired and deposed many self and custom-built plots we would be delighted to advise on all areas relating to either of the above.
