Builder blames hidden commissions for his company’s collapse

Bradley Hall, the owner of boutique home builder Chatham Homes, which went into liquidation this week leaving 50 buyers with unfinished homes, blamed the largely hidden commissions builders pay to referring agents – between 8 per cent and 12 per cent of a contract price – for his company’s collapse.

Mr Hall, who worked in finance and private equity before acquiring the sustainability-focused builder in 2019, spent a total $5 million on buying and investing in the company.
