The sectors
we work in

Acquisitions

From site identification through to purchase, we work with developers and investors to acquire opportunities on their behalf.

Recent examples include an unconditional site in Watford, which is currently in the pre-application stage for a large mixed-use development for over 100 units. On a smaller scale, a house in Crystal Palace with adjoining land, which we then split, disposing of the land to a local developer and then acted as Joint Auctioneer to sell the existing house.

“If your property would benefit from a change of use, we can advise on the planning process and expected costs. We can then assemble the right team to help you achieve the best possible consent.”

Development

From properties with potential to sites with planning, we tailor our advice to suit your needs and to produce the most viable result.

Our services include:

  • valuation and site appraisals
  • planning advice
  • comparable and research analysis
  • disposal and marketing strategies

Since conception, we have now sold more than £150 million in land transactions with a combined gross development value of £250 million, ranging from unconditional small plots with potential to large consented schemes, ranging from £250,000 to £7,000,000. These include a mixed-use development in Hampstead for 22 residential units with a pre-let to Marks & Spencer.

While our advice is tailored to each unique situation, the principle remains the same: whatever the scale and scope of the development, we first ensure we fully understand your needs, then work closely with you to maximise value.

If your property would benefit from a change of use, we can advise on the planning process and expected costs. We can then assemble the right team to help you achieve the best possible consent. If you don’t have the resources or time to gain planning yourself, we can advise on the route of sale that will generate the highest price.

“We would welcome the opportunity to value your property and propose an appropriate marketing strategy.”

Investments

We provide valuations and appraisals for both residential and commercial investments. And with the current strength of the property market in London and the South East – especially with the influx of foreign investment – we are experiencing a high demand for properties in both sectors.

Our main expertise lies in the sale of unbroken freeholds, vacant or with tenants. These range from small shops and upper parts to large office buildings.

We would welcome the opportunity to value your property and propose an appropriate marketing strategy.

Commercial agency

Drawing on our strong brand and transactional skills, we provide commercial agency services to new and existing clients.

If you have a vacant office or retail space and would like our opinion on achievable rental values and marketing strategy, we would love to hear from you.

Housing association

Affordable Housing is a constantly evolving sector of the residential market which, like all sectors, requires a thorough understanding of current trends, requirements and legislation. We work closely with the Housing associations, Registered Providers (RP) developers and land owners in providing a range of services including:

  • identification and acquisition of sites suitable for Affordable Housing-led schemes on behalf of RSLs, developers and contractors
  • sale of sites where RP are suitable purchasers
  • valuation advice for various Affordable Housing tenures
  • scheme design input to ensure current RP requirements are met
  • sale of Section 106 Affordable Housing

We have a track record of sourcing and structuring “package deals” on behalf of landowner, contractors and developers, which optimise value for all parties.
