What Nu Developments can do for Land Owners
I identify promising sites across Scotland and throughout the UK, working directly with landowners to unlock their development potential. With a strong network behind me, I can help with everything from feasibility studies to negotiations, ensuring a smooth acquisition process.
Maximising the Value of Your Land
I look for planning angles that increase your land’s value — so you benefit from the uplift, not just the sale
I leverage the Team in BuildUp to bring in architects and planners — their expertise strengthens the case and protects your position
I take a strategic view of what your site can deliver — working with you to unlock its full potential
My goal is the best outcome for both of us — I’d rather do it right than rush to a deal that sells you short


Reducing Risk for You
Planning Uplift
Securing planning permission before committing significant capital increases your land’s value and reduces exposure. You benefit from the uplift, not just the base sale price.
Early Viability
High-level ballpark figures are run early to set realistic expectations from day one. This avoids investing time and money in opportunities that don’t stack up financially.
Structured Process
Each stage is clearly defined with agreed milestones, keeping costs controlled and timelines predictable. A disciplined path from initial assessment through to completion — no surprises along the way.
How I Work with Landowners
Transparent
Every conversation is open and honest — you’ll always know where things stand. No hidden agendas, no small print, just a straightforward approach from the outset.
Flexible
No two landowners are the same, so deal structures are tailored to your specific situation. Whether it’s timing, phasing, or financial terms, there’s room to find what works for you.
Collaborative
This is a partnership, not a negotiation. I work with you at every stage, keeping you involved in decisions and making sure your interests are protected throughout.
Solution-Focused
When challenges arise, the focus stays on finding practical solutions rather than getting stuck on problems. The aim is always an outcome that works for everyone involved.
