Development consultancy
Advice for a site you already have. Whether it is a parcel with no planning history, a consent that no longer suits the market, or a scheme that needs an operator or a funder, we give a commercial view of what the site can be and how to get there.
What it involves
Site and scheme appraisal
What use, what size and what value. A care home needs catchment demand and a certain number of beds to work; a retirement scheme needs a different site. The appraisal says which, and why.
Planning strategy
Pre-application advice, the case for the use, and the right professional team for the application.
Viability and structure
Build cost, land value, operator rent or sale price, and how the deal is structured so it works for landowner, developer and operator.
Operator and partner introductions
Matching a site to the operators, developers and funders active in the sector and the region.
Consented scheme review
When a permission exists but the market has moved, whether to build it out, amend it, or sell it as it is.
Project support
Ongoing input through planning, pre-let or pre-sale and disposal, as much or as little as the project needs.
Who it is for
Landowners who want to understand what their land is worth for development before they talk to anyone else.
Developers entering the care or retirement sectors for the first time and needing sector knowledge beside their own.
Operators who have been offered a site and want an independent view before committing.
Investors and lenders who need a commercial opinion on a scheme they are funding.
