Land & Development Agency

Land agency involves advising landowners, developers and investors on the acquisition, disposal and promotion of land. We provide strategic advice on how to maximise land value, identify development opportunities and structure transactions to achieve the best commercial outcome.

Development potential depends on a range of factors including planning policy, location, access, infrastructure, environmental considerations and market demand. We assess sites from both a planning and commercial perspective, helping landowners understand the opportunities and constraints that may influence value.

The right approach depends on your objectives, the planning position and market conditions. We advise landowners on a range of strategies, including immediate disposal, strategic promotion and longer-term value creation, helping identify the route most likely to maximise returns.

An option agreement gives a developer the right to purchase land under agreed terms, usually following the grant of planning permission. A promotion agreement involves a promoter seeking planning consent before marketing the land on the open market, with both parties sharing in the enhanced value achieved. We provide independent advice on the advantages and risks of each approach.
