19 Real Estate & Property Awards 2020 BUILD Aug20035 trategy is key when handling property, and land has more potential for growth in value than many other options. Landhold Capital play a crucial role in the development of land across the UK. With a market that is based mainly within the Midlands and the South of England, the team have been able to achieve some truly astonishing results. For decades, the UK has failed to produce the number of homes required to meet the needs of the population. It’s systemic. The work that Landhold Capital undertakes allows businesses to make quicker progress by providing sites with planning permission already approved to the residential development market. To house builders, the system that the team champion is a boon, allowing them to provide a solution to the housing crisis that is desperately needed. As a private funded organisation, with a track record that is second to none, the team are in high demand indeed. Building up such an impressive record for success on both greenfield and brownfield land has taken a great deal of time and money. To find the ideal solution in every case – and every case is unique – the team apply a creative approach that drives commercial negotiations. Indeed, what sets the firm apart is a determination to only take sites that have strong prospects for success. They not only find these sites, but sell on the open market in a way that encourages competitive bidding. This means that while the firm’s offerings are not the same as a mainstream provider, they offer a niche solution that has a phenomenal success rate. The nature of the firms means that the team often align their interests with the landowners. In some cases this can create a unique set of problems. Recently, Landhold Capital handled a case in Hullbridge, Essex, where 500 units, with completed planning permission, were sold to Housebuilder. The challenges that arose were two-fold, firstly in handling the various interests of multiple landowners, and secondly in negotiating additional land for infrastructure that included a roundabout. Ensuring there was space for these facilities was vital to the project going ahead.
