What do we buy?

One question that we are often asked is what type of properties do you buy? 

Spring Developments is a dynamic property company, we specialise in land and property acquisition for new development, conversion and refurbishment. Our ideal properties are large period buildings which are generally in a state of disrepair, derelict or requiring complete modernisation. We are also interested in all types of properties situated on wide plots, corner plots or with large gardens as well as land assembly-(multiple rear gardens for residential development). We are always keen to discuss and acquire commercial buildings across the South East. Commercial buildings can often provide potential for residential and mixed use developments. Commercial buildings of interest include offices, care homes, storage units, shops and uppers, pubs, garages, light industrial & agricultural buildings. 

A high percentage of our acquisitions are derelict properties, often through probate and we consider ourselves experts in these areas. Derelict properties are often unsaleable on the open market due to structural or safety issues deemed as uninhabitable and mostly unmortgageable. We are experienced cash buyers and have the ability to complete the sale of derelict properties quickly and with greater surety of a sale than selling via an agent or in auction. 

The Spring Developments team have a passion for restoring all unmodernised and derelict properties. We care about locations, local communities and attention to detail. All of our developments are bespoke, well located and architecturally designed to enhance local communities whilst meeting with local planning guidelines. Spring Developments are renowned for producing unique developments with high quality accommodation finished to an excellent specification. We work with architects and planners who share our passion and more importantly have an excellent track record.

We work with agents, introducers, homeowners, executors & land owners to identify and acquire land and properties across the South East. We are keen to discuss and appraise opportunities no matter how big or small and although we are happy to purchase unconditionally or on a subject to planning basis we are also keen to work with property owners who are keen to maximise their returns via option agreements or joint ventures.

If you have an opportunity to discuss please do not hesitate to contact us.

Our 6 flats in Sutton are now complete and all let. On this and every project we develop we invest a huge portion of our time researching the best products so that we can provide a bespoke development with a finish that is of an outstanding quality and built to last. Going back to brick and starting again is the norm for us so with exception for the buildings shell everything is brand new from the ground up. Our search for new projects is ongoing and we have funds available for multiple projects. If you are thinking of selling please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Our latest project in Twickenham is now officially under construction! Over the next 6 months we will be restoring this beautiful period building which dates back to 1905 to its former glory whilst converting it to 3 spacious luxury apartments. Having already restored and converted the building next door we are excited to be working on this project with the same contractors KWP Build By Design. The property is situated within a few hundred yards of Twickenham Station and early interest is anticipated so if this is an area you are considering purchasing in then please do not hesitate to get in touch to receive additional information about this property. Our approach to property acquisition is to seek out properties and buildings that have reach a point where they are no longer habitable and are in a derelict or totally unmodernised condition. We are cash buyers so in most cases can proceed with the purchase in a matter of only a few days. Following acquisition we will often seek some form of planning gain to enable us to repurpose the property to suit a wider range of occupiers but in all cases we approach the refurbishment with a view that we are looking to increase the life span of the building for many generations to come. Often this involves stripping the building back to the original brick work and starting from scratch introducing new floors, internal walls and modern fittings, renewing all timbers windows and drainage, whilst rectifying any structural issues along the way. This property was in a terrible condition and restoration will be a long process but buyers can be assured that apart from the brick shell and the beautiful stair case everything will be brand new and finished to our usual exceptionally high standard!
