Retention circumstances
Most standard contracts include a 5% retention. There are some exceptions to this whereby a zero or capped retention policy may be in place, agreed by exception.
Retention parity policy
The retention amounts deducted from subcontractor payments will be applied at the same percentage or a lower percentage than that deducted from the company.
Retention release
Managed on a phased release, normally based on 50% released 12 months after practical completion with the remaining 50% released 2 years after practical completion. This may not be released until all defects have been closed out.

Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
Where payment relates to services provided by a subcontractor, payment of any sum ascertained as due in accordance with Vistry’s Trade Contract Terms & Conditions shall become due 14 days after the application date (the “payment due date”). The final date for payment is 14 days after the payment due date (i.e. 30 days from the application date).
Where the payment relates to goods or services the terms differ and are required to be paid the month after the month of the date of the invoice, unless agreed otherwise. - Dispute resolution process
Dispute resolution is a three step process that starts with the dispute being referred to the relevant Manager within the business. Vistry and the Vendor will then seek to settle the dispute by negotiation. If the dispute is not resolved it shall be referred to expert determination.

This is an exact normalised company-name match, not a registrar-confirmed ownership link. Another legal entity can have the same or a very similar name. UKIPO data is a historical 2018 snapshot; verify the owner and current status before relying on it.

PSC records are company-filed public-register information. When the exact same displayed individual name occurs at multiple companies, BritDB offers a non-indexed cross-reference page. It is a name match only, not proof that the records describe the same person. Service addresses and partial dates of birth are deliberately omitted.
09 Charity register
Charity Commission links
No exact company-number link in this snapshot
The Charity Commission extract did not explicitly associate this Companies House number with a charity. BritDB does not use a name-only match to fill the gap.
This company-level check covers the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Links are accepted only when the official extract supplies this exact company registration number. Scottish charities now have separate OSCR profiles, but OSCR’s bulk fields do not provide a Companies House number, so BritDB does not infer a company link.
10 Northern Ireland charity register
CCNI exact company links
No unambiguous company-number link found
The CCNI source number did not resolve uniquely to this Companies House record. BritDB did not use a name or address match.
CCNI publishes company numbers without a jurisdiction prefix. BritDB links only when the plausible padded UK and NI candidates resolve to exactly one Companies House company.
11 Sanctions screening
UK Sanctions List
No exact business-registration-number link found
The imported UK Sanctions List did not supply this Companies House number as a UK-linked business identifier. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
No exact link is not sanctions clearance. UK restrictions can apply through ownership or control even where an entity is not separately named. Always use the current official list and obtain appropriate advice for a legally significant decision.
