What we build
Three uses. One discipline.
Every site has a highest and best use. We appraise each one without a preferred answer — then design, fund and deliver whatever the land genuinely supports.
Commercial
Workspace, trade, roadside and convenience retail — re-purposing tired commercial plots into income-producing assets that serve the road they sit on.
Use class E · B2 · B8 · Sui generisMixed-use
Residential-led schemes with active ground floors — homes above, commercial below — the format most London arterial and town-centre sites are asking for.

Four ways to do a deal.
Land deals fail when the structure doesn't fit the owner. We work with whichever route suits your circumstances, your tax position and your appetite for risk.
Outright purchase
A clean, unconditional sale at an agreed price. You get certainty and a fast exchange; we take all planning and market risk from day one.
Best for — owners who want a clean breakOption agreement
We pay you for the exclusive right to buy your land once planning is secured, at a price linked to its consented value. We fund the entire planning process at our cost.
Best for — owners who want upside without riskPromotion agreement
We promote your land through the planning system at our expense, then sell it on the open market with consent. Proceeds are shared — you keep the majority of the uplift.
Best for — larger sites and patient ownersJoint venture
You contribute the land, we contribute expertise and development capital, and we share the completed scheme's profit rather than a one-off land price.
Best for — owners who want to stay investedFrom first call to completion

Site criteria
What we look for.
If your site looks like a liability — a forecourt, a yard, a tired parade — it may be worth considerably more than its current use suggests. These are the sites we actively pursue.
Not sure your site fits? Send it anyway. The appraisal costs you nothing and the answer is often surprising.

For landowners
Own a site? Start with a conversation.
We'd rather meet you at the site than send you a brochure. Tell us what you own and we'll come back with an honest view of what it could be worth — with planning, and without.
