We acquire selected sites, improve their planning or development position, and then introduce them to the developers, housebuilders and investors most likely to want them. The value we create comes from work rather than from waiting: investigating ground that nobody has investigated, resolving constraints that everybody has assumed are permanent, and establishing what a site can support so that a buyer can price it properly.
We are selective. We look for a specific, identifiable reason a site is worth less than it should be, and a realistic route to dealing with it. Land and property values can fall as well as rise, and planning outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Nothing here is an offer, an invitation to invest, or advice of any kind.
We take on sites where we can name what is suppressing the value and how it might be resolved.
The improvement comes from investigation, design and negotiation rather than from waiting for the market to move.
Most sites we look at do not proceed, and we say so early rather than tying land up.
Some opportunities are bought outright; others are taken forward with funding or joint venture partners.
Tell us about your land: where it is, roughly how large, and anything you know about its history. Everything you share stays confidential, and there is no obligation.
We study the local planning policy, the planning history of your site and its neighbours, the access, services and constraints, and the demand from builders in the area. Then we visit the land in person.
We tell you what we found, including the problems. If your land has real potential, we explain how much and why. If it does not, we say so, and you will not have spent anything to find out.
Depending on the site and your plans, we may buy the land outright, or agree to promote it through planning on your behalf. Every agreement is reviewed by your own independent solicitor, and we contribute towards your legal costs.
We deal with whatever is holding the land back, whether that is access, drainage, title or planning, and prepare it properly for the developers who will build on it. When the work is done, the sale completes at the terms we agreed.
Values change when policy changes, and policy has changed a great deal in the last two years. If nobody has looked at your site since, nobody knows what it is worth today.
