Landowner Advisory

Understand the land before choosing the developer or the deal

Independent advisory for landowners and families comparing joint-development proposals, outright sale, self-development and phased development options.

A clearer property decision

A headline revenue share, area share or upfront payment does not reveal the whole development proposition. Planning potential, approvals, project cost, timing, security, sharing definitions, taxes and developer capability can materially change the landowner’s risk and outcome. We help organise the decision before commercial and legal commitments are made.

Advisory scope

Where we can help

JV proposal comparison

Normalize competing proposals so area share, revenue share, deposits, milestones, costs and conditions can be compared.

Explore

Developer guidance

Structure developer credentials, project track record, funding, delivery and proposed security for professional verification.

Explore

Sale versus development

Compare outright sale, joint development, area share, revenue share and retained-asset strategies.

Explore

Feasibility and land potential

Review planning inputs, development potential, market positioning and high-level economics under a separately defined scope.

Decision questions

What the work should make clearer

  1. What can the land reasonably support under the applicable planning framework?
  2. Which proposal offers the best risk-adjusted outcome—not only the largest headline number?
  3. What should the landowner retain, receive, secure and verify?
  4. Which commercial points must be resolved before advocates draft the definitive documents?

Approach

A disciplined route from brief to decision

01

Land and ownership brief

Understand ownership, site, documents, family objectives, constraints and the proposals already received.

02

Potential and option review

Assess available planning, market and value inputs; identify information that requires specialist confirmation.

03

Proposal normalization

Bring commercial proposals onto a common comparison framework with assumptions and dependencies visible.

04

Negotiation and appointment brief

Set out priorities, open questions, verification requirements and commercial points for the landowner’s legal and tax advisers.

Outputs

Possible deliverables

Final outputs depend on the property, available evidence and the agreed scope.

  • Landowner objectives and constraint brief
  • JV/developer proposal comparison matrix
  • Sale-versus-development scenario note
  • Developer due-diligence question list
  • Commercial negotiation points
  • Feasibility or valuation report where separately scoped

Scope clarity

Where this advisory fits

Legal title, agreement drafting, tax structuring, finance, sanction feasibility, structural and statutory certifications must be undertaken by the relevant appointed professionals. No approval, sale price, developer performance or project return is guaranteed.

Frequently asked questions

Before we begin

Can you tell us which JV proposal is best?

We can normalize and analyse the proposals, expose assumptions and risks, and support a reasoned choice. The final appointment should also consider independent legal, tax, technical and financial due diligence.

Do you represent the developer?

The advisory mandate is defined with the landowner. Any brokerage, introduction or other potential commercial interest must be disclosed and agreed separately.

Can you help before we invite developers?

Yes. Early work can define landowner objectives, assemble property information, review development potential and create a comparable proposal format before outreach begins.

Is a feasibility report the same as a sanctioned plan?

No. A feasibility study is a decision-support exercise based on stated inputs and assumptions. Formal permissions and sanctioned plans are issued only by the competent authorities.

Start with context

Have you received a JV or development proposal?

For an initial scope discussion, share only the locality, approximate land area, ownership structure and type of proposal received. Confidential documents can follow after scope and sharing method are agreed.
