JER Associates Management is the bespoke development management firm sitting between landowners and the housebuilders who would otherwise buy their sites cheap. Forty years of practitioner experience, one promise: a turnkey route from site acquisition to completion — with the landowner retaining the development margin instead of handing it to a national volume builder.
A landowner-led residential scheme that JER took from optioned site to completed homes — with the landowner retaining the development profit instead of selling to a volume housebuilder.
A waterside redevelopment on Waterside Way in central Wakefield — the same canal-side corridor that JER itself calls home.
A community development delivered for a charitable client in Thornes Park, Wakefield — where JER's innovative approach to procurement and design saved the charity significant costs that would otherwise have absorbed donor funding.
JER are on hand for the entire project and manage every step through it. Align your investment with a team fully committed to delivering quality, growth and sustainability for you — not for a volume housebuilder's shareholder report.
JER identifies sites with development upside and structures the acquisition or option agreement that protects the landowner's upside without exposing them to early-stage planning risk.
JER assembles and manages the consultant team — architects, planners, engineers, ecologists — and leads the planning application through to consent.
Senior debt, equity and any required mezzanine — sourced through JER's relationships and structured to the scheme rather than the lender's template product.
Contractor procurement, design freeze, cost control, programme management, site quality. JER is the single counterparty accountable for delivery on time and on budget.
Practical completion, sales agency or onward letting, final account and reconciliation. The landowner receives the development margin — not a wholesale-price cheque from a housebuilder.
“I had many opportunities to sell my site to the conventional house builder but took the decision to work with JER to optimise my profit and deliver this exciting project. I found JER both professional and dedicated and can thoroughly recommend them to anyone who wishes to maximise the return on their land.”
“JER's innovative and creative approach has saved the charity many of the costs and expenses incurred by this development at the Medina Thornes Park Wakefield. Their experience and expertise in this field has been invaluable and I have no hesitation in recommending them as a reliable and knowledgeable business partner.”
“I am delighted to provide a reference for John Richardson, whom I have known for over 30 years. I have observed his involvement in a variety of businesses and have found his judgement and professional expertise to be sound. He possesses considerable business acumen which, coupled with his wide experience, provides JER Associates with the ability to be both a professional and creative partner capable of delivering wide-ranging projects.”
“Having known the principals of JER Associates for many years and had the pleasure of working with them, I can recommend that they are both competent and knowledgeable in bringing developments to successful completions and giving satisfaction to their clients to achieve their goals.”
