Reported terms and dispute process
- Standard payment terms
The payment terms adopted by the Avant Homes Group are for invoices to be settled on the next payment run following the credit terms requested by the respective supplier. These terms range from immediate payment, to payment falling due at the end of the month following the invoice date. Consequently, when the invoice is approved by the appropriate delegated authority, it is allocated for payment accordingly. The Avant Homes Group standard payment terms is 60 days which is applied to all new suppliers. There have been no changes to this policy during the reporting period.
- Dispute resolution process
At Avant, we strive to resolve queries and disputes on a timely basis. In respect of subcontractors, our dispute resolution process involves a collaborative review of progress on site between Avant surveyor and subcontractor, inclusive of Avant quality check, with reference to the application made. In the majority of circumstances, our commercial staff will resolve a dispute directly with the subcontractor. In respect of suppliers, goods received are inspected and receipted on site with any issues arising communicated to the supplier via telephone or email.
In the rare event that a dispute cannot be resolved by commercial staff the matter will be referred to our in-house legal counsel.

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.
05 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.
06 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.
07 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.
08 Public procurement
Find a Tender links
No exact GB-COH link in this snapshot
Find a Tender did not explicitly identify this Companies House number in a procurement party. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
These links use only the GB-COH identifier supplied in the procurement record. A company may have other public-sector work that is absent, older, below publication thresholds or published without a Companies House identifier.
09 Environmental register
Environment Agency waste registrations
No exact company-number registration linked
The licensed Environment Agency subset did not contain this exact Companies House number. BritDB did not attempt a name-only match.
This is a privacy-reduced, exact-company subset. The full official register also includes sole traders and applicants without a matching Companies House number. Check the current Environment Agency register before relying on registration status.
