Burkes & Co offer this relatively unique consultancy service to both corporate and private clients.
Acting either as your representative or as principal in the role of facilitating developer, we manage the promotion and development of your site, from initial assessment & appraisal, right through the legal, planning, funding and construction processes, to provide a turn-key solution that meets your needs.
Advising you every step of the way, whether you are a professional investor with significant land holdings or the owner-occupier of a site you consider to be under-utilised or surplus to requirements. As Development Manager, we will guide you on how best to instruct the right professional team for the job on the right terms. We can manage all aspects of the development process, deciding which consultant or contractor is best for a project and when you need to commit to them.
We help you avoid exposure to unnecessary and potentially expensive abortive costs along the way.
If desired, we can help to introduce third party development finance and guide you through the many pitfalls and loopholes that can severely punish even an experienced entrepreneur or investor.
We will manage the process from start to finish, releasing maximum land value and also allowing you to participate in the development profit for yourself. We can identify and evaluate risk, manage the town planning and development process and the associated costs and introduce the right expertise at the appropriate time. In effect, we act as your ‘right hand man’, acting in your best interests at all times. We aim to fulfil the developer’s role, but for a fraction of the cost.
How do we do this? Simple; if we don’t have to risk our capital buying and promoting your land, we remove the speculative risk. This allows you, the landowner, to retain far more control of the process. With the benefit of our experience and guidance, our service allows you to take the maximum benefit from the exploitation of your real assets. We can do this without the need to involve a third party developer whose primary goal, understandably, is to maximise his profit. Of course, the natural consequence is to minimise the price he pays you for your land!
Our role is to add value to your real estate assets – but on your terms and to your time frame; we can even bring in specialist tax advisers to work with your accountants and financial team or manage your relocation if and when necessary. We do this for a success-related fee and modest retainer.
We offer a turn key development solution
