I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all clients, colleagues and friends for their support and wish them all a prosperous and happy 12 months whilst I’m away.  The plan is to return to my desk in August 2012, probably rather slimmer, battered and with a smile on my face! In the meantime, if you need to speak with me I can be contacted via skype: The address is ‘markburkes’.  Obviously, I may be a little busy changing sails on the foredeck, but I will endeavour to get back to you as soon as I can.

All the best,

The Clipper Round the World Yacht Race 2011/12

“The site enjoys tremendous visibility and a high flow of passing traffic, so I’m not surprised we had several people interested in the location” said Mark Burkes, Director.  “This latest deal completes the letting of the site on behalf of our clients, Burson Land, and has now established their target return on capital invested. Our next task is to work up a planning application in conjunction with the local planning authority for a landmark residential / mixed-use scheme on the site in accordance with our client’s medium term plans.”

The site formerly accommodated a church, car sales pitch and public house.  Burkes & Co advised on the site’s assembly, the management of the planning application for its current use and the letting of the space.

The register will enable land owners to register their sites FREE of CHARGE.  Burkes & Co have established the register so that land owners and selected property developers can be introduced to their mutual benefit. Land owners pay nothing for the service which is discreet and anonymous. Developers pay a membership fee to join and agree to pay Burkes & Co a site finder’s fee if they subsequently agree terms to purchase land held on the register.

“It’s all part of our business model” said Mark Burkes, founder of Burkes & Co.  “We recognize that if we are to continue to be successful during these challenging times, we must always be ready to exploit new technologies and use them to better serve our client base”.

The BCO LANDBANK is free to all registrants and is only part of the services proposed by the company. “In the fullness of time we hope to host an informative and vibrant forum available to all members” said Burkes. “We are all about adding value wherever we can”.
