LAND, PLANNING & FUNDING
Land Acquisition
For nearly 30 years Park Hill Homes have been constructing new build and conversion developments. We are constantly looking for new land opportunities and if you have a plot of land, with or without planning permission, with or without existing building we can offer a number of options to help you realise the maximum value of your property. This may include acquisition subject to planning approval, purchase with an overage potential and also joint venture agreements. We have access to immediate funding and the ability to make swift and binding decisions.
At Park Hill Homes we excel in structuring agreements with land owners who may have complex requirements in order to maximise the returns they can receive for the value of their land or buildings. We have decades of experience in formulating beneficial agreements with partners and land owners. We would be delighted to talk with you informally about your property to discuss any arrangements we could suggest which might benefit you in order to increase its potential value by working with us.
Call us now for an informal discussion on how we can help.
Joint Ventures
Park Hill Homes started life as a development company and for the vast majority of our projects we have purchased sites and developed the land as a solo enterprise. However, over the years, we have formed strong and resilient relationships with joint venture partners who have enjoyed the great advantages an effective symbiotic business relationship can bring.
In order to realise the maximum financial benefit for your land it is well worth considering the expertise and experience of partnering with Park Hill Homes. Entering a joint venture agreement allows both parties to maximise their investment.
Park Hill Homes have partnered with a number of land owners in the past to assist with planning and maximise the potential value of their site. We are available to discuss these options with you and outline the suitable projects for this type of arrangement. We have available funding and a wealth of experience with local planners and the relevant local plans. Planning expertise and cost effective construction will maximise the potential returns to our partners.
We provide end-to-end project management and expertise from initial design, through planning and construction to final marketing and conveyancing. Speed and attention to detail are our strengths.
We also have experience with commercial and mixed use schemes.

Planning & Funding
Whilst we are happy to purchase sites with the benefit of full planning permission we believe our real value as an experienced developer is to enter into early discussions with the land owner to investigate how we can add value to your asset by offering imaginative solutions for design and planning applications.
One such project that benefited from our early input was Spinney Barn. Originally the land owner approached us to purchase an existing building with planning permission to convert it into a single storey home with a part mezzanine. We suggested however an innovative planning gain by proposing a half height basement be designed into the building adding over 30% of useable space to the building. We then entered into an overage agreement so that the land owner benefited from the increase in sales revenue that this design alteration brought about.
We have instant access to funding to acquire land or to finance joint venture projects due to our exemplary track record. Our long standing relationships with banks and development funders is testament to our business ethics.
Wintrust has been a loyal funder of Park Hill Homes for over 25 years. Initially we recognised a highly dynamic, hands-on house-builder team, where their word was almost literally their bond. The relationship between Wintrust as a key funder to Park Hill continues to this day. Why? Because Roger is a man of his word, utterly straight in his dealings, and has a flair for dogged perseverance in getting out the very best from people, whether a brickie or his humble bank manager. Roger has over the years, proved most adept at acquiring sites and subsequently adding value through improving the planning consent. He and his team consistently provide a product that is delivered on cost, on time, and pitched to the market at just the right level in terms of cost and appeal. For all these reasons, Wintrust has no hesitation whatsoever in supporting Park Hill through times of both feast and famine. Indeed, we are looking forward to undertaking joint ventures with Park Hill; this for a lender is the ultimate accolade!
