We're a small development partnership based in London. We work with landowners to acquire and develop complex sites — the small, awkward, overlooked ones the volume builders aren't interested in.
As a micro developer, we care about creating homes with character: places that lift a street rather than the off-the-shelf schemes we've all come to expect from the big housebuilders. We put real thought into what the site becomes and how the development interacts with its surroundings.
There are fewer and fewer developers like us. The number of small housebuilders in the UK has fallen by around 80% since the late 1980s — from roughly 12,500 then to about 2,500 today. We're proud to be part of bringing that kind of small-scale, characterful development back.
We're a partnership of two who work directly with the people we approach — no department to be passed around, just us. We're small, but we're well supported, bringing in an experienced team of independent professionals to suit each site. We specialise in acquiring and developing sites like yours, and the first step is simply an open conversation about what's possible and what makes the most sense for your land.
We take on only a handful of projects at a time. So if a letter from us has landed on your doormat, it's because we've looked at your site and think there's something worth talking about.
Holding land you're unsure what to do with, or land that's stopped earning its keep? We'll look at what a site could realistically support, and we're straight with you about what's possible.
Own a larger home with land or a garden you no longer use, or a building that's fallen into disrepair? If there's a plot or building you'd consider parting with, we'll look at what it could become — sensitively, and with real thought for what's already there.
Have an empty or underused commercial building — an old office, shop, pub or workshop? These are often perfect candidates for sensitive conversion back into use. We handle the complexity, including the planning, from start to finish.
We're rooted in London — our current project is in Hackney — and we're actively appraising sites across the wider commuter belt, from Epping to Brentwood and beyond.
The hardest part of any project is planning — and the right way through it isn't to steamroll a community. On our current site, a £2.7m scheme in a conservation area, we engaged closely with our nearest neighbours and earned the support of many of them. It still wasn't easy: securing consent required a consistent, evidence-based position and detailed work with our architect to navigate planning policy and demonstrate the application's merit.
We got there — councillors voted to grant permission in March 2026. That's how we work: by engaging openly, and by having the resolve to see a good scheme through.
Whether you're a farming family, a landowner, or sitting on a large home with land you've stopped using — we'd happily talk it through.
