This former PLC housebuilder leads residential development in the East of England, helping landowners maximise the value of their land.

When landowners or developers choose to work with Neil, they’re picking an advisor who knows the process inside out. He knows in fine detail how development is delivered in the real world after 16 years in development - eight with national housebuilder Crest Nicolson.
Neil always makes it his business to spot all potential bumps in the road during residential development, so he can prepare his clients for the risks and opportunities ahead.
By leveraging his PLC knowledge and experience of the process, Neil advises landowners and developers on land promotion, appraisals and valuations in preparation for the disposal and acquisition of all types of land, always seeking to identify opportunities to optimise value and enhance marketability.
He was once directly responsible for £1bn of land across the east and south-east of England but it’s his ease in getting on with people that really sets him apart. Neil’s genuine and straight forward approach to development means his clients always know he is on their side.
