About
Builders first.
BelleVille surveys, prices, manages and builds refurbishments, extensions, conversions and new builds, under our own trade contracts. Around the build we also source property, connect buyers with lenders, and sell, rent and lease, so one team is accountable from the appraisal to the keys.
Why we are built this way
Nobody owns the gaps.
Almost every loss in property happens between advisers. The sourcer's refurbishment figure the builder later triples. The planning condition nobody priced. The after-refurbishment value the agent promised and the valuer would not support. Everyone is paid for one leg, so the gaps belong to nobody, except the person who owns the property.
We do all four legs, which means the gaps are ours. That is only worth anything if it is measurable, so we hold ourselves to one standard above all others: our refurbishment figure at appraisal has to survive our own tender. We measure the variance on every job and we publish it.
How we behave
- Every client gets the full fee schedule in writing before they buy
- Build runs open book, with the procurement margin stated as a percentage
- Every referral and introduction fee is disclosed, with the amount
- Any client may take one service and go elsewhere for the rest, at the same price
- Every figure on this site says whose number it is
The bench
Twenty years across sourcing, finance, construction and sale, and 643 partners in the UK and abroad. Plus a named local agent, lawyer and contractor in every international market before we take a client there.
Who runs it
Meet the leadership team.
A build only goes to plan when the people who priced it are the people who run the site. These are the two who answer for both.

Projects and Delivery Manager
Runs every build under our own trade contracts, on site every week.
Answers for the programme, the cost and the handover.

Vasile Alecu
Commercial and Client Manager
Prices the job before anybody is asked to commit to it.
Runs the sourcing, funding and sale that sit around the build.
