With an ongoing remit to acquire redevelopment sites, Land & New Homes is proven to secure ideal investments for Housing Associations. Local area offices with dedicated team members ensure that suitable sites are rapidly identified and acted upon for clients.
With the vast majority of transactions and acquisitions, Land & New Homes generally acts on a retained basis to recognise and seek out opportunities for Housing Associations.
The majority of sites submitted for development are designated 'brown field' and procured for our clients to regenerate communities and improve neighbourhoods. Whilst Land & New Homes is able to provide expert disposal services for Housing Associations, the acquisition approach allows transparency for incoming purchasers. As no landowner instructions are needed, the best off-market opportunities can be sought and negotiated on the most beneficial terms.
Using Countrywide Surveying Services, Land & New Homes is able to offer professional valuations from the nation's largest surveyor.
Services include 'block' valuations for large-scale projects, and surveys are conducted so as to ensure seamless consistency across both Countrywide and Land & New Homes. This gives clients the additional advantage of having information cross-checked and evaluated by two highly experienced sets of professionals, whilst maintaining one easy point of contact. Attention to providing accurate reports and impeccable communication across the groups ensures that valuations prevent conflict of opinion and risk of cancellation. Advice on unit costs, regulations which may relate to overbuild, and additional guidance towards appropriate specification is also part of the package.
With a sales team trained to aid Housing Associations, Land & New Homes enjoys access to multi-brand marketing propositions from a single base. This is teamed with a comprehensive in-house marketing facility to deliver the highest possible sales returns. Countrywide can also provide further resources in the form of property management and lettings.
