Property Development & Assisted Sales
At Candid Developments, we specialise in residential Property Development and Assisted Sales.
Alongside our own projects, we work with investors on development opportunities and support homeowners in selling their properties with confidence.
Whether you're an investor seeking a development partner, or a homeowner looking to maximise the value of your property, we offer straightforward, transparent solutions.
INVESTORS AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS
We actively partner with investors and landlords on residential property development opportunities- managing refurbishments, conversions and development projects from inception to completion. We do this by combining practical expertise, commercial focus and a hands-on delivery approach.
Key advantages include:
- Aligned interests- we invest time, expertise and often capital alongside our partners.
- Clear commercial focus, feasibility led projects with defined exit strategies.
- Hands-on development and construction management experience.
- Transparent structures, with clearly agreed roles and profit splits.
ASSISTED SALES FOR HOMEOWNERS
If you're a homeowner looking to improve and sell your property for a higher price - or simply want someone to manage the sale- our Assisted Sales service takes the strain out of the process.
From funding and managing refurbishments through to marketing and negotiation, we handle the detail so you can achieve the best result with minimal stress- even if you're located elsewhere.
Here's how it works:
- Assessment: We review your property and agree on the right approach- whether that's strategic improvements or a straight sale.
- Improvement (optional): Where agreed, we fund and manage the necessary works to enhance value.
- Sale: We coordinate marketing, viewings, surveys and negotiations with buyers.
- Updates: You receive regular progress updates, so you remain fully informed, wherever you are.
- Share/Completion: You receive your agreed share of the uplift (where works are carried out) or the net proceeds from a straight forward sale.
This process is particularly helpful if you live abroad, are tied up with other commitments, or simply want peace of mind knowing that the sale is being handled professionally.
Background
Candid Developments is owned and led by Jonathan Eyers.
In 2003 Jonathan graduated with BSc Hons in Construction Management and then spent 12 years working in site management roles for main contractors, before moving on to private projects. His experience spans the high-end luxury refurb market in London, as well as new luxury residential properties in the home counties. Examples of projects he worked on are shown below.
Since 2009, each house he has lived in has been bought as a project to renovate and add value- with 90% of the work being done by himself.
Candid Developments began in 2017, offering Jonathan an ideal way to combine his professional experience and hands-on approach to property development.
The business started with a dilapidated flat being bought at auction, refurbished to a high standard by himself, rented to a professional couple and soon sold on for a profit. Subsequently the sister company Candid Build Ltd was formed as a SPV to continue the BRR process, leaving Candid Developments to focus on their own projects and the future Assisted Sale offering.
