Development Consultants

We advise clients throughout the South East on the promotion and sale of development land.

I spend 100% of my working week advising on over 50 live development projects throughout the South East.

Bill Lightfoot Director

There nothing like speaking to a trusted professional with decades of experience advising clients on how to make the most of their development opportunity.

You won’t read much about this aspect of our work online or in the press as our work is usually done at the earliest possible stage where complete confidentiality is essential to the success of your project.

But, rest assured, Jon Rimmer, Sam Snart and I have bags of experience.

You may own a house with a large garden with the potential to gain permission to build one of more houses.

Or, you might own agricultural land near a town or village which might one day provide the land to build 100’s of new homes and need help to promote you land to development partners or the planning authorities.

Our team of development consultants looks after around 80 clients at any one time. There are few towns in Kent and East Sussex where we do not have direct experience.

With strong trusted relationships with over 70 house builders, we are well placed to help you maximise your opportunity.

Please give us a call in strictest confidence on 01233 506203.
