Residential Property Consultancy
Expert advice to make residential schemes a reality.
To deliver the best possible residential project, whether a single plot or multi-phase development, it is important to have an experienced team of residential property specialists on board.
Our team of over 40 planners, property valuation experts, building surveyors, investment advisers and development consultants, understands the full dynamics of residential property as an investment, and will work with you to make your residential projects happen.
Working with landowners, housebuilders, banks and other financial institutions, as well as residential investors, local authorities and private individuals across the UK, we deliver a range of residential schemes – from city centre mixed-use regeneration projects and smaller developments / single plots, to ‘super prime’ housing conversions and developments in central London.
We also have particular expertise in the delivery of senior living and extra care developments, student accommodation and build to rent schemes.
Our people, your partners
Working closely with you, we will bring together our collective expertise in strategic land, planning, development, project delivery and acquisition and disposal, to take your project from concept and viability, through planning, and on to completion.
We also provide independent third-party review of site viability, as well as acting as Expert Witness on deliverability and viability at planning appeal.
