Clague Architects
A small, professional team, specialising in areas around London and the South East, CSN Homes takes on projects where it has the skills, expertise and network to move quickly, work efficiently and get the most from every opportunity.
We have a track record of development projects with GDV’s ranging from £350,000 to £6,000,000 including conversions, new builds and upgrading.
To complement our development activity we also maintain a portfolio of ground rents, residential and commercial investments.
Our model as self-funding, cash purchasers enables CSN Homes to make fast decisions based on years of knowledge and market awareness yet still conduct business with a personal touch, easily adapting our approach to the individual needs of each project.
Prior to founding CSN Alan had notched up 40 years’ experience as a leader in property and business. Most recently, he led the property acquisitions team for a development firm in Surrey and oversaw their flagship development of a 10,000 sq ft mansion in 1.5 acres on a private estate in Esher, resulting in a successful sale in excess of £6 million. Eager for new challenges, he then diversified and established the CSN Group of companies, concentrating on smaller developments in up-and-coming locations. As the managing director Alan is responsible for the strategic direction of the company.
Steve has been involved in the construction industry and particularly within Construction Management for almost 30 years. His common sense ‘can do’ approach to the many challenges this industry provides ensures that CSN are able to deliver quality projects on time and to budget, whilst also ensuring all CSN projects exceed the standards laid down by building regulations and current Health and Safety legislation. Steve is responsible for all of the technical aspects of CSN’s portfolio and developments, both during the acquisition, construction and ongoing management.
Adrianne Janes is the administrator for CSN Properties, providing invaluable assistance to Alan, Steve and Darren in ensuring the projects come in on time and on budget.
Adrianne has a wealth of experience in administration and systems. This is put to good use to ensure the smooth running of the office & the developments. She approaches each task with maximum enthusiasm and minimum fuss.
Having spent the previous ten years running a property business specialising in providing accommodation to local authorities, Darren decided it was time to come closer to home, bringing his expertise and funds to CSN in order to further develop and grow the business.
Darren’s main focus is acquiring new projects. Using an existing network of contacts within the industry from his previous role and by establishing new relationships, Darren is determined to secure new opportunities for CSN in an effort to build upon on its successes.
