Spare land can be a huge asset and a real money-spinner. Discover how to make the most of it with Land Development Solutions. Have you ever wondered how much land and property is actually worth?
It’s one of those issues that we consider from time to time and rarely come to any conclusion.
Agents can put a value towards it but at the end of the day it’s only what someone is willing to pay and this is usually dictated by market values. All types of domestic, commercial and business premises are affected by the market forces but could more be made out of your house and premises, or alternatively the land it occupies?
Redundant land and buildings, along with houses standing in large high maintenance gardens, all have the potential to be redeveloped, thus maximising their value.
Land Development Solutions could provide the inspiration and expertise you need to transform your existing land or premises to create a totally new development opportunity.
Having previously worked for major house building companies at directorship level, both Martin Booth and Geoff Hill have developed an innovative business that specialises in promoting development opportunities and in doing so, realising best values for those who own land and property but who are unsure about how to achieve this.
Clients come to us for help and advice. We offer guidance on how to get the most out of their land. People have properties with large gardens that offer much more scope than just a single dwelling.

Martin said:“We consider the consultancy service fairly unique and extremely versatile. It is because of our multi-disciplined background that we can offer an ‘all in’ service. More and more clients require all their needs catered for under one roof. It helps with communication and certainly streamlines a process that can become very frustrating.”
Geoff nods in agreement:
It’s certainly true, we have people and clients who approach us wanting advice and ideas with regard their land and premises. We are happy to make suggestions and in most cases they come back and commission us to exploit the development potential.
“We are currently involved with quite a number of projects where we initially assessed the land potential and have undertaken all aspects of the development programme up to and including the final occupation of the site.”
Land Development Solutions is celebrating its first year in business and by all accounts it’s been a successful one. “The first year is always considered the most difficult time for any new company,” Martin said. “With us it was a case of combining our expertise and resources and then forging contacts.We had to make ourselves known as a company rather than individuals.”
They both add that the basis of Land Development Solutions can be summed up concisely in our mission statement.
“Assessing land and property to create development opportunities.”
Basically that’s what we are about; the rest is up to the landowner!
