Retention circumstances
We use JCT Design & Build Contracts or Intermediate Contracts with or without contractor design for our development projects. As such we use the standard clauses and processes set out and contained within the JCT suite of contracts documents. We hold the full retention until practical completion is reached and then 50% of the retention during the 12-month making good liability period / rectification period and release this sum by final certificate of rectification. Note monthly / regular intervals valuation take place that determine the value of work completed at the stage reached from which the retention is deducted. I.e. the final amount of retention will not be determined until the final account has been agreed / certified, often this occurs after full completion of the works. This means that the amount of retention varies throughout the cycle of the project.

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.

No individual or entity with signficant control
- Notified

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.

Source details and official record →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.
08 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.
09 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.
