Stage 1 · Conversation
The property, your timeline and your situation.
What we do, in detail
Four activities: acquiring, improving, leasing and maintaining property held for the long term.
Program 01 · Direct from owners
Acquisition
Purchases are made for the company's own portfolio: no listing, no commission, no chain of other buyers. Condition is expected rather than penalised, and the offer comes in writing after the property has been seen in person.
Stage 2 · Viewing
Seen in person, not valued from a screen.
Stage 3 · Written offer
Terms and conditions stated plainly.
Stage 4 · Close
Through a title company, on your date.
Stage 1 · Survey
Condition assessed properly.
Stage 2 · Scope
Works priced with licensed trades.
Stage 3 · Execution
Permits obtained where required.
Stage 4 · Records
Documentation retained for the property file.
Program 02 · Built to last
Capital works
Because the property is being kept, works are specified for durability rather than for photographs. Electrical, plumbing, roofing and structural work goes to licensed trades, permits are obtained where required, and documentation is retained for the file.
Program 03 · Written, and consistent
Leasing
Properties are leased directly, with consistent application criteria and compliance with fair housing law. The lease sets out both parties' obligations in language a tenant can actually read, and availability is listed here when there is any.
Stage 1 · Availability
What is available, and from when.
Stage 2 · Viewing
Arranged directly.
Stage 3 · Application
Same criteria for everyone.
Stage 4 · Lease
Written, explained, signed.
Stage 1 · Request
One route in, acknowledged quickly.
Stage 2 · Triage
Urgent, soon, or scheduled.
Stage 3 · Works
The right trade, properly done.
Stage 4 · Record
Documented for both sides.
Program 04 · Still here next year
Maintenance & stewardship
A portfolio held long term has to be maintained rather than patched. Repair requests are acknowledged and scheduled, preventive work happens before failure, and each property has a record of what was done and when.
