Based in West Yorkshire but operating UK-wide, Littleboy Developments is a residential property specialist. Our principal role is to link investors with rewarding but exceptionally secure buy-to-let opportunities.

We typically focus on high-quality conversion and restoration projects; properties that are elegant and well suited to local market conditions. We identify suitable projects through collaboration with carefully chosen developer partners.

To maximise prospective returns for investors, we only select opportunities in locations where rental demand is especially strong and where the market is under-supplied with suitable housing stock. Our various developments appeal to long-term residential tenants and, in some cases, to the profitable short-stay tourist market.

What Makes
Us Different?

From an investment standpoint, the most important benefit that we offer is risk-minimisation.

In recent years, off-plan developments have been subject to numerous delays and disruptions. Yet despite this, many property investment agencies continue to ask investors for large deposits – money that is divided amongst sales agents and developers prior to completion. If construction work is then set back or abandoned, investors may struggle to recover those deposits.

At Littleboy Developments, our business model is very different. On every project, every penny of your funds is held in escrow by solicitors until the point of completion. That means that all your deposits are completely secure and recoverable. We insist that all property developers accept these same terms as a condition of partnering with us.

Work with us and you can be confident of securing high-quality properties with zero risk of lost deposits.

Frequently
Asked Questions

Q. How can I minimise my risks as a property investor?

A. With off-plan investments, the greatest risks are generally associated with non-completion and lost deposits. If you’re considering an investment in property, we strongly recommend that you verify exactly where your deposit payments will go. Will they be passed to the developer to support the project’s cashflow, or will they be held safely in escrow until the development’s completion? Bear in mind that money held in escrow will be much more easily recoverable in the event that the project runs into unexpected problems or delays.

It is also worth considering what sort of off-plan development is being proposed. For example, new- build schemes can sometimes entail more risk because of their greater scope. By contrast, off-plan conversion projects are based on buildings that are already standing. As a result, redevelopment works will often pose fewer risks in terms of delayed planning consents, complications with services or groundworks, and other similar issues.

A. Unlike most investment companies, we don’t include speculative figures in our estimates of the returns that a buy-to-let property will deliver. For example, we don’t include exaggerated predictions of the capital growth that a property might achieve; we stick as closely as possible to verifiable market data.

For example, we base yield forecasts on just two factors: the property’s sale price and the annual rental returns you’re likely to achieve. In some cases, rental estimates will be based on the returns that the property itself is already achieving. For off-plan conversion projects, estimates will be based on the values currently being achieved by existing properties of a comparable size and quality in approximately the same location.

Based on our industry experience and our in-depth research into local market conditions, we expect all our developments to produce above-average rates of capital growth. However, no one can accurately predict how prices will change over time and, consequently, we don’t believe that such forecasts have any place in financial illustrations for investors.
