Built for the professionals
around every self-build project

VATBuild works with mortgage lenders, pre-construction professionals, and planning services to give self-build and conversion clients better VAT control — from first drawdown to final HMRC reclaim.

Mortgage Lenders, Brokers & Development Finance

Help borrowers protect their VAT claim from day one

Clients building, converting, developing, refurbishing or retrofitting property manage staged drawdowns, contractors, suppliers, and often an HMRC VAT reclaim at the end of their project. VATBuild gives lenders, brokers and development finance advisers a practical touchpoint throughout the build — helping clients catch VAT issues before payment, not after.

Key benefits
  • Borrowers who stay on top of VAT evidence are better placed to manage project cash flow
  • A stronger reclaim helps completion-stage financial planning and reduces pressure on staged funds
  • Works for VAT431NB (new build) and VAT431C (conversion) claimant routes
Pre-Construction Professionals

Give clients a structured VAT answer — without giving tax advice

Architects, planning consultants, quantity surveyors, package companies, turnkey providers, and project managers are often the first trusted advisers around a self-build or conversion client. VATBuild gives you a professional boundary: you can support the client's VAT discipline without taking responsibility for the reclaim.

Key benefits
  • Clients naturally ask VAT questions — redirect them to a proper system instead of informal comments
  • VATBuild handles invoice upload, classification, and HMRC reclaim preparation end-to-end
  • Reduces ad hoc VAT queries during design, tendering, and construction phases
  • Partner via referral link, co-branded VAT checklist, client onboarding pack, or deeper integration
  • Available as a test partner programme — demo, guided setup, and feedback session included
Planning Portals & Partners

Extend the planning journey into post-permission VAT control

Planning Portal and similar services support applicants at a critical point: preparing and submitting planning applications. VATBuild continues that journey — from permission into construction, with practical VAT, invoice, and HMRC reclaim control.

Key benefits
  • Self-builders, converters, and barn conversion applicants all face significant VAT decisions post-permission
  • "Start your VAT record after planning" — a natural next step for applicants moving into construction
  • Stage-based user journeys: start, mid-build catch-up, or pre-submission check
  • Partnership can begin with contextual advertising or sponsored education, then expand
  • Co-branded VAT evidence checklist creates a qualified referral pathway
