Welcome to Arqhaus
Services
Strategic Consultancy for Distressed & Underperforming Development Sites
​
We support capital stakeholders with complex residential schemes – stalled, non-performing, or veering off course. From early risk assessment through to EPC compliance and structured exit design, Arqhaus delivers commercially grounded insight and actionable strategies.
Who We Work With
Arqhaus supports:
-
Lenders: seeking early-stage or mid-crisis risk clarity
-
Receivers: requiring actionable assessments and exit advice
-
Capital Partners: navigating stalled equity or distressed co-investments
We bring experience from both the lender and developer side, giving us a pragmatic view of risk and a sharp eye for where value can be unlocked.
01
Development Risk Assessment
When a scheme isn't working, you need clarity – fast.
We provide independent, on-the-ground assessments of underperforming development sites. Whether you're facing planning uncertainty, a failed sales strategy, or a paused construction programme, we identify core risks and recovery potential.
Includes:
-
Site viability analysis
-
Appraisal stress-testing
-
Red flags and opportunity mapping
Used by:
Lenders, administrators and capital partners seeking to triage risk and reframe strategy.
02
GDV Validation & Market Positioning
Reality-checked numbers. Commercially sound advice.
​
We independently assess Gross Development Value using real-time sales data, pricing benchmarks, and local market appetite. If the current scheme is misaligned, we recommend design, tenure, or phasing adjustments to get it market-ready.
Includes:
-
Independent GDV validation
-
Unit mix and pricing optimisation
-
Repositioning recommendations
Used by:
Receivers and funders validating assumptions or preparing assets for sale or restructure.
03
Exit Strategy Design
When it's time to draw a line and move forward.
​
Some sites won’t reach the finish line as planned. We help define the most efficient way out; whether via phased delivery, asset disposal, or tenure switch – balancing recovery of capital with practical delivery.
Includes:
-
Disposal strategy and timing
-
Build-to-Rent or open market realignment
-
Delivery sequencing for value release
Used by:
Capital partners, debt funders and advisors seeking to minimise loss or unlock trapped value.
04
EPC Compliance & Sustainability Strategy
Energy ratings are no longer a tick-box. They’re a threshold.
​
We assess EPC risk at individual asset or portfolio level and build compliance strategies that align with capital goals. Whether you're looking to refinance, exit, or simply preserve value, we help ensure your assets remain lettable, loanable and viable.
Includes:
-
EPC and energy performance audits
-
Costed upgrade pathways
-
Strategic compliance reports
-
​
Used by:
Banks, institutional funders and receivers seeking to de-risk portfolios or prep assets for sale.
