Your land is our business

RECTORY HOMESL A N D A N D P L A N N I N G

The current Government and opposition parties are all clearly

supportive of releasing more land for quality housing in the right

locations. It is accepted by nearly all that many more houses

need to be built.

The Government is keen that housebuilders ease the development

process by convincing local people they will see excellent design

standards and lasting benefits to the community.

At Rectory Homes we are adamant our developments will always

respect the identity of the surroundings and add value to the

communities in which they are located. In addition we will leave

a legacy of fine homes that will in turn make the path of future

applications that much easier.

There are more and more people accepting of the need for new

houses but there can still be significant resistance in certain areas

both from residents and Local Authorities. We always hope to

persuade residents and Local Authorities of these benefits prior to

a planning application being considered at local level and indeed

we achieve some 90% of planning permissions without having to

resort to lengthy and arbitrary appeals. When our developments

are completed, we do effect more converts.

We are absolutely certain that if you entrust your land to us, not

only will we have maximised the value that will be returned to you,

you will also be proud of the resulting development.

ABOUT RECTORY HOMES

RECTORY HOMES IS A MEDIUM SIZED PRIVATELY OWNED HOUSEBUILDER BASED IN HADDENHAM, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. THE COMPANY HAS BEEN BUILDING HIGH QUALITY HOMES IN DESIRABLE LOCATIONS PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN SINCE IT WAS FOUNDED BY SIMON VICKERS IN 1991.

Rectory concentrates on developing residential

sites in targeted key market areas throughout the

south east of England, where demand continues to

significantly outstrip supply.

The company’s reputation was founded on small

high quality developments with the aim to create

homes of architectural merit, which stand the test

of time.

The company remains dynamic and innovative and

has developed focus on larger developments, whilst

continuing to deliver high quality individual housing.

Whether a one bedroom apartment or a five

bedroom house, we pay the utmost attention to

detail in the design, layout and specification of our

homes to ensure we stay ahead of our competitors.

Rectory has built an industry leading reputation

on superior quality and design. The high level

of service is maintained from the initial land

acquisition, through the build process, with an

exceptional technical and build team, to the

sales process, with our dedicated sales and

aftercare teams.

WHY RECTORY HOMES

OUR BUSINESS IS BASED ON A PROACTIVE, INFORMED AND DECISIVE APPROACH FROM IDENTIFYING THE RIGHT LAND OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH TO MAXIMISING THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF TARGETED DEVELOPMENT SITES. WE FOCUS ON APPROACHING THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES RATHER THAN A SCATTERGUN APPROACH ADOPTED BY MANY NON-LOCAL PROMOTION COMPANIES. OUR SUCCESS RATE IS OVER 90% AS OPPOSED TO MOST LAND PROMOTION COMPANIES WHO STRUGGLE TO DO BETTER THAN 50%. TO DATE IN EXCESS OF 90% OF THAT SUCCESS IS ACHIEVED AT LOCAL LEVEL WITHOUT THE NEED TO GO THROUGH THE LENGTHY PLANNING APPEAL PROCESS.

We are a well known local developer and we

understand how the Local Authorities operate in

our key markets. As a result we are trusted to plan

and deliver high quality developments. Our first

preference is to work with Local Authorities and key

stakeholders to gain their trust over an acceptable

period of time. However, where we think there is an

accelerated opportunity, we are more than happy

to adopt a more robust approach involving planning

applications and appeals where we employ high

level expert advice to ensure the greatest chance

of success.

Decisions often need to be made quickly where

there is an opportunity to deliver houses in the

short term and efficient planning applications are

required to ensure success. The senior management

team are actively involved in the daily running of

the company, streamlining decision making from

the outset.

Rectory is a housebuilder so we understand the

process of land buying through to construction and

sales. Knowledge of the entire process enables

identification of potential pitfalls which could cause

delays in planning and therefore delays completing

a land purchase. We strive for success with our first

application avoiding lengthy appeal processes

where possible.

WHAT WE DO

RECTORY SPECIALISES IN IDENTIFYING AND OPTIMISING THE DELIVERY OF LAND WITH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL.

Our aim is to promote your land and obtain

planning permission as efficiently as possible

at nil cost to you.

Our dynamic land and planning team maintain

comprehensive up to date knowledge of the

planning system and actively engage with the

Local Authorities in our key areas of operation.

We appoint trusted professional consultants

to work closely alongside our in house teams

to progress applications through the planning

system as quickly as possible and to actively

engage with key stakeholders within the

communities we operate in.

We ensure each development is designed to

exacting standards that will not only maximise your

chance of obtaining planning permission but also

maximise the value of your asset at minimal risk.

We are focused on building a legacy by creating

environments where people want to live and thrive

as a community. Each development is designed

individually by one of our respected local architects

and tailored to integrate and grow organically

within each community.

Our expertise is in all aspects of land including;

commercial property, brownfield sites, land

assembly, strategic land and greenbelt.

STRATEGIC LAND

IT CAN TAKE MANY YEARS AND SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL INVESTMENT TO PROMOTE LAND THROUGH A COUNCIL’S STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK.

We seek to enter into an agreement with you

tailored to the nature of your land. On agreeing

terms, we take on the risk and cost of promoting

your land in return for an agreed percentage share

in the land value created when planning permission

is achieved.

We recognise potential to deliver development

sites in the short term where there is a significant

window of opportunity due to a housing shortage

in a particular area. Often where local planning

authorities have identified a substantial need for

homes which is currently encouraged at both a

local and national level.

WE ARE A DEVELOPER SO UNLIKE PURE LAND PROMOTERS, WE HAVE A VERY KEEN EYE FOR END VALUE AND MARKETABILITY OF HOUSING. OUR DEVELOPER’S INSIGHT RESULTS IN MAXIMISATION OF LAND VALUE.

Our goals are aligned and we have what it takes to ensure success.

THE TYPICAL PROCESS

RESOURCES

We have a land and planning team

capable of dealing with your land

in an efficient manner.

FINANCE

We have substantial funds of our

own and long standing relationships

with our existing banks. We are

here to take away the potentially

lengthy period of stress and the

financial burden of promoting

land for development.

SUCCESS

We can legitimately claim in excess

of a 90% success rate throughout

our 25 year history which will

be significantly better than the

scattergun approach of pure

land promoters and most

national developers.

VALUE

We have been building residential

developments for over 25 years and

understand how to maximise land

potential. It is in our joint interest

to create value with a developable

scheme that will maximise the

value of the land and maximise

the saleability of housing.

INFORMATION

We thoroughly research and monitor

the constantly evolving planning

system. You will have a clear point of

contact with someone from the land

team who will keep you informed

throughout key stages of the

process. A main board director

will oversee all applications.

CONFIDENCE

We have a fantastic track record of

delivering high quality developments.

Success is our only option, which you

can be assured our team will work

tirelessly to achieve. Our success rate

is well over 90%.

KNOWLEDGE

We are flexible. We are familiar with

all aspects of land acquisition and

always make an offer in a structure

most suitable to each opportunity.

Land is identified and initial contact is made by our

land team.

A member of our land team will then arrange a

meeting to discuss the options available to you.

An offer is made and if acceptable, heads of terms will

be drafted and our solicitors will work expediently to

complete the legal process.

Our land and planning team will appoint specialist

independent consultants and architects necessary

to produce a planning application.

An outline or detailed planning application is submitted

to the local planning authority. If planning is refused

then an appeal may be necessary. This will be

progressed with all due haste by our in house

planning team and appropriate experts.

Following grant of planning permission, we purchase

the land from you and commence development.
