Clearer ownership and responsibility for one scheme
Project kept distinct
The SPV holds one development within its own company structure.
Both parties hold shares
Our model makes the landowner or partner and us project shareholders.
Terms agreed at the start
We document funding, decisions, costs and exit arrangements early.
Keep one development within a dedicated company
A special purpose vehicle is a company formed for a defined project. It can keep that development's ownership, finances and responsibilities separate and easier to follow. The structure does not replace due diligence or sound project figures, but it gives the parties a clear legal vehicle for the agreed scheme.
Our stated property development SPV model involves forming the company with a landowner or development partner, with both parties becoming shareholders. For suitable opportunities linked to Barnet, we assess the land or property, planning route, funding needs, construction scope and intended sale before the structure is taken forward.
Document control, contributions and exit at the outset
Shareholding alone does not explain who funds what, who can make decisions or how returns will be distributed. Those terms need to cover contributions, decision rights, cost recovery, responsibilities and the route out of the project. We expect the parties to obtain appropriate legal and financial advice.
Once the arrangement and project are approved, the SPV can progress through planning, agreed funding, construction and sale. We bring planning and construction management into that route, helping the physical development follow the agreed commercial plan. The final distribution of returns then follows the documented structure.
