Frequently Asked Questions

FOR LANDOWNERS & LANDLORDS

Do you charge landowners?

It depends on the deal and who we are acting for. Submitting a site to us costs nothing, and if a fee applies we will explain it and agree it with you in writing before any instruction, so there are no surprises.

How do I submit a site?

Use our Submissions page. Tell us the location, approximate size, tenure and any planning history. First-stage information is fine, and you can share more detail once we know there is interest.

Is it confidential?

Yes. Every submission is treated in confidence. We only share details with clients whose requirements genuinely match, and we will not market your site publicly without your agreement.

Do you take off-market opportunities?

Yes. Many of the sites we work on are off-market, and confidential opportunities are always welcome.

What happens after I submit a site?

We review it against our clients’ current requirements. If there is a match, we come back to you to discuss next steps and introduce the right party.

FOR OPERATORS, DEVELOPERS & INVESTORS

What sites do you look for?

Which areas do you cover?

We work across the UK, from our base on Colmore Row in Birmingham city centre.

Who do you work with?

Retailers, operators, developers and investors, as well as landowners and landlords.

Can you find sites for my business?

Yes. Send us your requirement through our Contact page and we will look on and off-market for sites that fit.

Do you work with landowners as well as operators?

Yes. We work with both sides, matching operators’ and developers’ requirements with landowners and landlords, and stay involved from the first conversation onwards.
