Training Course

About the CPD Course

An intense crash course in land, planning and development, teaching the detailed ins and outs of maximising high-value, multi-unit developments. Covering how to fully and accurately appraise a site, how to structure, negotiate and secure the deal, how to optimise site layouts and unit design for maximum saleable space (and profit), and how to navigate the planning system to always negotiate the very best planning permissions, in the shortest possible time. With an emphasis on identifying the numerous unseen risks and constraints that can kill a deal (or worse, bankrupt the developer), this training reduces risk and maximises value uplift.
