Acquisition

Developer Services

David has worked with numerous developers over the years, advising on everything from individual plots to large multi use sites.

He is retained by a select number of local developers, who rely on his local expertise to find suitable building plots, either with planning permission, or subject to permission.
For many homeowners, the sale of a building plot within their freehold is a very welcome tax free addition to their fortunes, often at the same time as retirement, or the desire to help children onto the housing ladder.

As fees are paid by the developer, it’s worth giving us a call for an opinion on your sites value.


In recent years, David has advised long standing clients with garden plots. After planning permission was granted, he sold the sites to known developers, who have built lovely family homes as additions to the South Oxfordshire landscape.

In late 2021 he commenced work with a family who had bought a fine Victorian house in over 2 acres some 40 years ago. After 20 months, he had secured a Pre App agreement for re development, and agreed a sale to a client.

In the meantime he helped the previous owners ‘downsize’ to a local home, into which they settled in Autumn 2023.
