Land and Property Services

Land

Land Disposal

Throughout my surveying career I have successfully sold numerous parcels of development land, a significant proportion of which had the benefit of planning consent for residential development.

Strategic Land

Experienced in advising and representing landowners in the promotion of greenfield sites, sourcing land promoters and successfully negotiating option and promotion agreements. This includes ‘price negotiation’, once an option has been exercised and a ‘price notice’ served.

Consultancy

Regeneration

Provision of detailed strategic advice to Local Authorities, and the implementation of agreed actions

Acquisition

I provide advice to Local Authorities and Public Bodies regarding the purchase of land and Property.

Employment Land
I have provided investment, acquisition and strategic advice for ‘Employment Land’, especially to Local Authorities.

Archaeology

Evaluation, excavation and recoding prior to development and civil engineering projects.

Services

Viability

Financial Viability Assessments
Preparing ‘Financial Viability Assessments’ (FVAs) on behalf of clients to negotiate both affordable housing and S106 Contributions is a key area of my work. In this capacity I achieve excellent outcomes for my clients.

Expert Witness

I have successfully acted as an ‘Expert Witness’ at Planning Inquiry and at Planning Hearing.

Rupert advised Lioncourt Homes on a viability case for a site located in the Black Country. His work resulted in significant grant funding being secured which in turn kick started the scheme. Throughout his dealings with us he was professional, responsive and achieved a great outcome for our business. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rupert for any type of residential consultancy work.
