How we test an opportunity before you buy
01
The numbers
GDV from local sales evidence, build cost from the team that would build it, then fees, finance and profit.
02
The planning chance
Without consent, an honest view of the odds. With consent, the conditions and obligations checked.
03
The risks
Affordable housing, CIL and the other costs that move the numbers, set out in writing before you commit.
04
The terms
We negotiate price and conditions on your behalf, then your solicitor takes it to contract.
05
From purchase to keys
If you want, our team runs planning, design and the build. How it works: development land and site sourcing.
Development opportunities: your questions
What counts as a development opportunity?
A site or building worth more once it has planning, a conversion, an extension or a new build than it costs to buy and deliver: land with or without consent, derelict and brownfield buildings, offices and warehouses to convert, and airspace. More in our guide to buying land with planning permission.
Where do off-market opportunities come from?
From the work itself. We develop and build inside the industry, so unadvertised sites reach us through our live projects. When an open-market or auction lot suits your brief, we test it the same way. See land acquisition for development.
What size of scheme do you work on?
Development schemes from £3M to £150M GDV, across London and the UK. Before you offer on any of them, check the real numbers behind a development site for sale.
Do I need proof of funds?
Yes. We share live deals with buyers who have proof of funds or funding in place. Buying to add value rather than to build? Read adding value to investment property through development.
Tell us what you're looking for
Send your budget as GDV, your target areas, your strategy and whether proof of funds is ready. A director reads your brief and comes back with the deals that fit.
