Land acquisition and development
Alongside our development land services, we also assist our clients with land acquisition - the process of buying land and preparing it for construction or other uses, such as residential, commercial or industrial projects.
If you’re looking to purchase development land, our strategic advice and understanding of the market ensures that purchasers have the edge on their competitors, enhancing their chances of securing a successful acquisition.
We help our clients with land values, deal structures and understanding the capacity of the market. We are also on hand to support due diligence processes by reviewing technical information as well as identifying opportunities, risks and cost-saving measures that may otherwise have been overlooked.
Land disposal
Land disposal is the process of selling or transferring ownership of land that is no longer needed by its current owner, and it forms the core of our services. We work with corporate, private and institutional landowners to maximise the value of their land.
Our comprehensive approach ensures that every element of the disposal process is meticulously planned and executed, from market positioning to contract negotiation.
Supporting land acquisition and land disposal services
Market advice
We provide real-time insights into local and national market trends, buyer demand and pricing strategies. Our knowledge of planning policy, demographics and local authority preferences helps shape informed decision-making.
Innovative marketing strategies
Every development site is unique, which is why we create bespoke marketing strategies tailored to its strengths. We consider timelines, collateral, media channels and target audiences to generate maximum exposure and interest.
Site branding
Branding is key to positioning a site effectively. For larger-scale developments or strategic land, we offer everything from naming to signage, and even websites to enhance visibility and engagement.
Data rooms
Our online data rooms provide secure access to technical information, ensuring all prospective buyers have the necessary details to submit a robust bid. We also monitor engagement to ensure transparency and accountability.
Drone photography & footage
High-quality aerial photography and videography enhance the presentation of development sites, providing a compelling visual overview for potential buyers.
Co-ordination & presentation of sale technical packs
We go beyond industry standards by collating and managing detailed technical information. We conduct technical meetings with interested parties to ensure a shared understanding of site conditions and potential challenges, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Bid analysis
Our meticulous bid analysis process ensures that offers are evaluated on a like-for-like basis, helping landowners identify the most commercially advantageous deal. Our technical expertise allows us to scrutinise offers beyond just price, ensuring the reliability of the chosen party.
