Gray’s Inn Estates work with both large and small housebuilders all over the UK. We provide the highest level of service helping housebuilders to dispose of their ground rents quickly and efficiently.

As PPG3 is focusing builders on costly land regeneration projects more and more modern developments are featuring apartment schemes. This inevitably requires some complex investigation into service charges and lease formats. Gray’s Inn provides builders with free management advice and written proposals for setting up such schemes.

We do not undertake full property management, leaving this to customer-focused independent property managers. This separates the investment of the ground rent from the management and reduces many of the associated conflicts of interests when the freeholder is actually involved in the management of residential property. It also enables the developer to create lasting beneficial managing arrangements for their customers that require their property to be managed, and these arrangements generally are kept in place by the new freeholder.

Suitability is assessed by examining individual features of the house builders scheme. This includes the type of development, the developers target market purchasers, the location, the type of various building services etc. An additional benefit that developers have in using local agents is that they are often able to offer land and development opportunities, which national agents, who are generally investment companies themselves, do not.
