After the first audit, you can retain us to carry the planning-obligation and infrastructure monitoring across the portfolio. Fixed monthly fee, scoped to portfolio size — separate from any recovery.
Why it exists
A one-off audit is a snapshot. Obligations keep maturing: spend periods expire, defects periods end, variations change what is owed, bonds become releasable. Each of those is a date, and each date passes whether or not anyone is watching it.
What’s included
Most developers have the information — spread across project teams, external advisers, archived files and a different authority for every scheme. What they don’t have is a single register and someone responsible for it. The retainer is that function, priced as a fixed monthly fee rather than by the hour, so using it doesn’t feel like a decision every time.
Central oversight of developments, agreements, payments, bonds, deadlines and current status.
Tracking contractual milestones, repayment dates, variations and potential recovery events.
Monitoring notices, calculations, indexation, reliefs, commencement requirements and procedural risk.
Oversight of bonds, certification, adoption, defects periods and release milestones.
Prioritised reporting on actions, upcoming deadlines and matters requiring escalation.
A structured re-review of the portfolio to identify new or matured recovery opportunities.
Recovery stays separate. If the retainer surfaces a claim, the success fee applies only if that claim succeeds.
How it’s priced
The fee is agreed up front against the number of live and historic schemes, the authorities involved and the depth of reporting you want. It doesn’t move with activity, so a busy month costs the same as a quiet one.
FAQs
No. The free audit and any resulting recovery work stand entirely on their own. The retainer is for developers who would rather have the monitoring handled continuously than revisit it site by site.
A maintained register of the portfolio with status against each obligation, plus prioritised reporting on what needs action, what is coming up, and what should be escalated. Format and frequency are agreed at the outset to fit how your team already works.
Usually nobody — that’s rather the point. This work tends to sit in the gaps between land, technical, commercial and legal rather than belonging to any one of them.
Yes. Scoping it to one region or one entity first is a common way in, and the fee is set accordingly.

Get started
Every retainer starts with the free portfolio audit, so we are pricing against what is actually there rather than an estimate.
