Development Consultancy on Residential,
Commercial and Land

Chartered Surveyors and RICS Registered Valuers: London and the Home Counties

What we doWe help you uncover the true potential of Land and / or Property you own or wish to acquire.

We are here to meet all your requirements and help you to enhance the capital value or obtain an onward income steam. We offer a unique personalised service to steer you through the potentially arduous world of property development.

Our highly experienced Team have previously worked for large multinational/ national clients providing Development Consultancy Advice concerning small development sites through to large regeneration projects throughout the South East (London, Home Counties and beyond) encompassing a full range of property services.

We recognise that the wider developer market, private landlords and homeowners are entitled to a professional service second to none. Our Team have held senior positions acting for numerous financial institutions (Property Companies, PLC Developers, Banks/ Funds and Property Lenders) providing  RICS Reports and advice/services within London and the South East and have the requisite knowledge base, professional network and necessary experience.

Our Development Consultancy services include:
  • Initial planning study to uncover the potential of obtaining the desired planning consent either for redevelopment, change of use (i.e., office to residential), residential extension (side and rear)/ loft conversion.
  • Initial design input whether the project is for owner occupation and/ or based upon larger proposed projects earmarked for onward sale/rent.
  • Creating Plans/Elevation Drawings (Auto Cad) and/or liaising with the clients’ architects.
  • Preparation if necessary of comprehensive and detailed Design & Access and Planning Statements to accompany the planning application.
  • Representing the client regarding all local authority consents and regulatory approvals.
  • Procuring all necessary Professional Consultants involving Planning Condition Approvals to ensure necessary consents are granted (such as Arboricultural and Land Contamination Studies).
  • Providing evidence based and objectively analysed Gross Development Values (GDVs) based on market comparable evidence: including proposed CGI images/photographic evidence, description, analysis of micro/macro location, recorded number of sales to date and demand/demographic analysis (i.e. downsizers/first time buyers).
  • Ability to undertake in-depth and concise RICS accredited Valuations at a Pre-Purchase level based upon various assumptions (i.e., with planning consent, subject to change of use)
  • Formulate RICS accredited Residual Land Method Valuations (i.e., output of market value of the land) which is based on specific market parameters such as typical expected profit level (expressed as a % of GDV/Cost), typical level of contingency and build cost (internally verified by our in-house Building Surveying Team and regarding BCIS, where/ if necessary)
  • Development Appraisal (i.e., output of clients’ desired profitability to assess viability of the scheme) which is based upon the clients’ appetite to risk (developers’ profit/ROCE) and internally provided build costs/ contingency, timeline and desired outcome.
