Land Acquisition The reassurance of dealing with straight-talking people who understand your ambitions Our Land team are constantly on the look out for land with development potential.

My company owns the remaining 25%, so L&Q Estates and I have a common interest in promoting the land. L&Q Estates commitment to taking a long term view distinguished them from their competition, which in large part probably explains their enviable long term record of promotional success. In my opinion, the promotion of strategic land requires a great deal of patience, commitment and effort, and I wanted a fellow shareholder with both a capacity and a willingness to invest capital, human and monetary, over a long period. This approach is the best way of maximising the chance of a successful planning outcome, and L&Q understand this better than most. L&Q Estates longstanding nationwide experience in Land Promotion is proving invaluable in promoting our site. On a personal level, it has, since the beginning, been an absolute pleasure to work with L&Q Estates. Professionally all the L&Q Estates staff I have dealt with have been courteous, diligent and hard working. They always respond quickly and professionally, and always display a positive and constructive attitude. I feel very much that we are working jointly to achieve our objectives.” Richard Brake Chairman, Kaikoura Capital Take The Next Steps > Talk to us “Our team is well versed in dealing with the complexities of large-scale site assembly, equalisation and tax matters, ensuring you are in safe and experienced hands throughout the process.
