Residential land search

Off-market sites, found quietly.

Development and investment land across London and the Home Counties, sourced through four decades of trade relationships — before it ever reaches the open market.

How it works

From brief to completion.

i.

Brief

We take a detailed, confidential brief on the type of site, location and scheme you're looking to secure.

ii.

Search

We draw on relationships across agents and landowners to surface sites that don't reach the open market, then filter hard against your brief.

iii.

Negotiate

We negotiate terms directly on your behalf, aiming for the best outcome rather than the fastest deal.

iv.

Complete

We stay involved through legal and financial close, so nothing gets lost in handover.

Recent acquisitions

Portfolio of properties.

A selection of sites we have sourced, negotiated and secured on behalf of our clients.

Sold

Liverpool Road, N1

Instructed to discreetly source a buyer without public marketing, at the owner's request. The building carried a 2011 planning consent whose implementation raised early questions; after extensive dialogue with the local planning department, the property was sold and is now set to be developed into five high-specification apartments.

Sold

Ravenscroft Park, EN4

Together with a partner, we acquired this unmodernised period building — formerly ancillary nurse accommodation for Barnet General Hospital — configured as self-contained studios with shared communal areas. We obtained planning consent to separate the units, then sold the property to an investor.

Acquired

World's End Pub, N4

In partnership with a prominent pub group retaining the ground floor, we acquired the long-vacant upper floors — previously storage and manager's living quarters — and secured planning consent for a complete redevelopment into six modern, high-quality apartments.

Building
Schematic
Purchased

Earl of Derby, W9

Acquired in partnership with a financial backer. Although the building came with existing planning consent, we unlocked additional value by reconfiguring the layout and adding mezzanine floors, increasing the total floor area by approximately 2,000 sq ft. The three completed units were sold as contemporary live/work apartments.

Acquired

Hertford Road, EN3

Acted on behalf of the purchaser in acquiring a former car sales lot with planning permission for nine self-contained apartments. The transaction involved securing vacant possession from a reluctant tenant; contracts have now exchanged, with completion conditional on vacant possession being obtained.

Acquired

Anastasia Mews, N12

Former lock-up garage block in prime North Finchley with pre-approved planning for five high-specification residential units. Acquired on behalf of an experienced client to build out and retain for their long-term rental portfolio.

Acquired

Chalkhill Road, HA9

Acquired on behalf of an established builder and developer client. The site comes with planning consent for six apartments, complete with associated parking and amenity space — a strong foundation for a highly desirable residential scheme.

Acquired

Osborne Road, RM11

Acted as principal developer, securing planning options on three substantial houses with 200-foot gardens. Working with architects and planning consultants, secured consent for 14 homes — a mix of semi-detached and detached family houses — with no objections following direct community engagement. Options sold to a respected local developer to bring the scheme to life.

Before
After
Acquired

Queen's Road, N20

Sourced off-market through a trusted sourcing agent after the previous owner had allowed the property to fall into disrepair. Our client, Kramer Construction, undertook a full internal and external refurbishment, restoring the home to its former glory while integrating modern finishes — a beautifully revitalised property blending timeless character with contemporary living.

Sold

Station Road, New Southgate, N11

Instructed by a long-time client to find a buyer for this site, which they had owned for many years before finally deciding to sell. We successfully introduced a highly qualified buyer who acted swiftly, exchanging contracts quickly. Upon completion, the buyer plans to retain the apartments as part of their expanding residential portfolio.

Sold

Marlborough Road, Watford, Herts

An HMO investment owned for many years by a long-standing friend and client. Trusted to market the property on his behalf, we secured a buyer and achieved the price he was looking for.
