How We Deliver Solutions
We provide a structured, results-oriented process designed to address every aspect of development site sourcing and acquisition with precision and clarity.
Initial Planning and Strategic Consultation
This first phase ensures we fully understand the scope of your project. We review your investment goals, land use requirements, and budget to identify opportunities that align with your objectives.
Scenario: You’re a first-time developer unsure whether to invest in a mixed-use or residential-only project. We provide site-specific comparisons, offering clarity on regulatory requirements, potential yields, and costs.
Market Research and Analysis
We conduct an in-depth review of property trends, growth zones, and market demand. Our team evaluates factors like transport links, local infrastructure, and council support for urban developments.
Scenario: A developer wanted a suburban site near London with strong rental demand. Using growth trend data, we secured a site near a planned rail link, delivering a projected yield increase of 12%.
Site Identification and Due Diligence
Every potential site is reviewed for suitability and profitability. We evaluate zoning, title restrictions, contamination risks, and access to utilities to avoid costly surprises later.
Scenario: A client considered a brownfield site but was concerned about cleanup costs. After commissioning a remediation report, we helped secure a government grant that covered 50% of cleanup expenses, allowing the project to proceed profitably.
Negotiation and Acquisition
We leverage industry contacts to negotiate terms that save time and money. Whether it’s securing planning-approved sites or off-market land, we aim to deliver options with favorable terms.
Scenario: A regeneration project required land from multiple owners. Our negotiation team secured purchase agreements within the client’s budget while ensuring no delays in closing.
Post-Acquisition Guidance
Once the purchase is finalized, we assist with the transition from acquisition to project execution. This includes connecting you with specialists for planning approvals, architectural designs, and contractor sourcing.
Scenario: A developer was stuck navigating local objections during a planning application for a mixed-use project. We collaborated with council officials, addressing objections, and expedited the approval.
Challenges Solved—In Detail
We address the most pressing obstacles developers face, delivering practical solutions that save time, reduce costs, and ensure successful outcomes.
Obstacles in Securing Prime Land
Securing the right property often requires access to private networks and an understanding of council preferences. We bridge these gaps with on-the-ground intelligence and exclusive networks.
Solution: Our team sourced an unlisted suburban site in Manchester for a housing development, resulting in a 15% savings compared to public market rates.
Navigating Regulatory Complexities
From handling Section 106 agreements to addressing zoning conflicts, development in the UK is deeply tied to regulatory frameworks. Our expertise ensures compliance while mitigating risks.
Solution: We streamlined a planning process for a client in Birmingham, saving over six months by pre-emptively addressing council concerns and aligning development plans with local needs.
Maximizing Development ROI
Making a site profitable isn’t just about purchase price; it’s about balancing development costs with market demand. We provide detailed appraisals to guide decision-making.
Solution: A client developing a retail center wanted to cut costs on infrastructure. Our appraisal identified shared utility solutions that reduced costs by 20%.
