What Is a Land and Property Consultant?

A land and property consultant provides expert advice on how to best use, develop, sell, or invest in land and property. Think of us as a bridge between landowners, planners, developers, and legal teams — someone who sees the big picture and makes the process easier, more strategic, and more profitable.

Our role can include:

  • Assessing development potential of land or property

  • Advising on planning strategy and policy

  • Preparing land for sale to developers or promoters

  • Managing the promotion process with planning consultants and architects

  • Providing negotiation support on contracts or agreements

  • Helping investors identify opportunities with strong returns

In short: we make sure you’re not leaving money on the table — and not walking into a planning or legal mess.

Why Might You Need a Consultant?

Whether you’re sitting on a field, an old outbuilding, or a large garden — here are some common scenarios where we step in:

1. You Want to Sell Land – But Don’t Know Where to Start

Selling land isn’t like selling a house. A good consultant will assess value, advise on timing, and connect you with the right buyers or developers — not just the first ones to knock on your door.

2. You Think There Might Be Development Potential

You may suspect your land is worth more than its current use — but don’t know how to confirm it. We carry out planning appraisals, review local policy, and guide you on how to add value before you sell or apply for permission.

3. You’ve Been Approached by a Developer or Promoter

If someone has contacted you about buying or promoting your land, don’t rush to sign anything. A consultant will help you understand option agreements, promotion deals, and your negotiation power — so you don’t get locked into something that isn’t in your favour.

4. You’re Navigating Complex Planning or Legal Issues

From green belt land to flood zones or protected trees, some sites need a specialist touch. We help bring together the right professionals — planners, surveyors, architects — and coordinate the process to keep things moving.

5. You Want a Long-Term Strategy for Your Assets

Whether you’re managing a family estate or planning a future retirement sale, we work with clients to create long-term strategies that balance income, inheritance planning, and asset growth.
