If you have land that can be developed, you need an expert at your shoulder, advising on your entitlements, options and procedures. With development consultants working across the UK, Savills has built enviable expertise in selling and buying land for new projects, then turning potential into real development opportunities. In addition to buying and selling we provide consultancy guidance, transactional support and market appraisals.

BNG can be delivered on-site, off-site or through statutory credits. Off-site delivery presents an opportunity for landowners to create a quantifiable uplift in biodiversity and broker the uplift for a financial return whilst adhering to prescribed long term land management obligations.

As specialists in their field, our consultancy teams draw on industry knowledge, experience and current market trends to deliver bespoke advice to help clients with their property needs. 

From valuation, land sales and acquisitions, through to funding and portfolio advisory transactional support, our end-to-end development service can be applied across residential, commercial, rural and mixed-use projects throughout the UK.

Our role is to make sure that a development is viable, or advise clients past the pitfalls. This ensures that planning applications evolve into deliverable schemes, or an efficient withdrawal if needed. Consequently, our work revolves around protecting scheme value, removing risk and mapping out exit-routes where appropriate.

Any transaction involving land or buildings is shaped by planning. Expert guidance can make all the difference in establishing the best achievable permissions. A site's value and viability can depend on it.

Our residential investment and development team is the largest and most experienced of its kind, with nearly 30 members of staff and an unparalleled track record brokering key private rented sector (PRS) investment and development mandates across the UK and Europe.
