ABOUT
Blue Spruce creates beautiful homes for first-time buyers.
We help them get their first step on the ladder by bringing elegantly-designed homes that are eligible for Help to Buy to an otherwise under-nourished and unaffordable market.
Help to Buy supports first-time buyer purchases by offering up to 40% loans against a 5% deposit.
Through this scheme, first-time buyers are afforded a new and premium product alongside the peace of mind of the full support of a 10-year structural warranty.
Our methodologies and processes deliver exceptional returns:

PLANNING ARBITRAGE
Gaining planning permission for development significantly increases a site’s value.
Converting commercial to residential use can double the value of the commercial premises.

DEVELOPMENT
RETURNS
We acquire buildings that can be extended.
We convert buildings for £82-117/square foot and we complete New Build for £175-200/square foot.
We sell our
end product in a range of £450-£1,000/square foot.

MARKET
KNOWLEDGE
We use meticulous research to identify areas with stable or rising prices and that are easy walking-distance from underground or over ground stations.
We carefully research sell-on prices in the areas before purchasing a building.

BUY BELOW
MARKET PRICE
We purchase from a network of off-market brokers,
or at auction where listings, information and viewings are only available 3 weeks before the sale.
Approximately 1,000 lots per month come up for auction.
BlueSpruce has the capacity to sift this data, visit sites and analyse returns on interesting lots.
Blue Spruce’s Returns Criteria are stringent: we target 20% annualised RoE if no planning permission is granted, and 50%+ if planning permission is granted.
The first Blue Spruce company has already fully returned investors’ capital, with the more-than-100% profit reinvested into new projects.
Blue Spruce has achieved outstanding growth since January 2016

PROPERTY INVESTMENT
Why invest in property in London?
London and South East England suffers from a structural housing shortage.
240,000 new homes are required each year to meet current demand levels 1.
Only 140,000 new homes are currently being built per year 1.
Q3 2017 new home registrations declined by 9% 2 – so the shortage is getting more extreme.
London’s population is forecast to increase 17% by 2030, from 8.8m to 10.3m 3
Despite Brexit, the structural shortage remains and is worsening. Demand significantly exceeds supply.
