Commercial Property Development Consultancy

With over 30 years of experience, we are a leading consultancy specialising in community-focused commercial property development and site redevelopment. Since 1993, we’ve built a reputation as trusted advisers to commercial property developers across Southeast England.

Our expertise in planning and mixed-use development makes us the preferred choice for consulting on any planning permissionissues and submissions. We provide tailored advice at every stage of the planning process, from space requirements to tenant acquisition.

Initial Consultation and Advice

Our initial consultation focuses on understanding your project’s specific needs and objectives.

We are particularly experienced in local community-focused property consultancy, helping developers retain and improve community use functionality in mixed-use developments. Our team provides expert guidance on space requirements, planning permission, and the specific demands of different commercial property use classes, guiding projects to meet legal and operational standards. From feasibility studies to urban regeneration projects, our consultancy covers all stages of site redevelopment.

We offer comprehensive advisory services for developers, including tenant and buyer search services and ongoing planning support. With a complete understanding of the commercial property sector, we work closely with clients to deliver practical, sustainable property development and redevelopment solutions.

Planning Process Support

We play an essential role in guiding developers through the complex planning process. We provide strategic advice to help your development align with planning regulations and the specific needs of the local community.

Our in-depth knowledge of commercial property use classes means we can offer expert guidance and support throughout the approval process, avoiding delays and ensuring compliance with local council regulations.

We also conduct detailed feasibility assessments, analysing site potential, market conditions, and development constraints. We make sure your project is not only viable but also well-positioned to meet both commercial and community objectives from the planning phase onwards.

Tenant and Buyer Search

Our team offers a comprehensive tenant and buyer search service tailored to your commercial property development. We work with you to create a detailed occupier analysis to identify the target market, including the business type, space needs, location suitability, and any specific requirements you have for potential tenants or buyers. This means your property is matched to the right occupiers.

We can also arrange pre-agreement contracts to allow developers to secure tenants or buyers before the project is completed. These agreements are subject to practical completion and contract terms and give developers confidence in the financial viability of their projects.

During the pre-agreement negotiation process, we work closely with developers and potential occupiers to agree on terms that benefit all parties. Our Southeast commercial property market knowledge guarantees that every step, from initial discussions to finalising the contract, is managed efficiently. Pre-agreements assure developers that the property will be tenanted or sold quickly, allowing you to meet project timelines and hit your financial goals.

Post-Development Support

Our support doesn’t end once the project is complete. As specialist commercial property agents, we offer comprehensive post-development support. Our team can help find suitable tenants and handle lease agreements so your property remains occupied and generates the expected return on investment. We also provide strategic advice on market changes and maximising the property’s potential.

Our goal is to offer support throughout the life of the property, making sure it remains a valuable asset and achieves sustained success.
