Pre-Acquisition Services

Site Viability Screening - we assess whether there’s a potential case to challenge affordable housing policy on viability grounds. Our approach prioritises realism, ensuring assessments reflect genuine development costs and values, rather than optimistic assumptions.

Affordable Housing Strategy - we provide advice on expected Section 106 affordable housing contributions and policy requirements, guiding clients on the optimal tenure mix and delivery approach.

Existing S.106 Obligations - we carefully review existing S.106 agreements for all types of development to assess whether the terms remain viable, deliverable, and open to negotiation.

Early Engagement - we support early engagement with local planning authorities to help shape proposals in line with policy expectations and local priorities.

Development Optimisation - we analyse scenarios to assess how changes in dwelling mix, size, and tenure distribution, alongside shifts in affordable housing grant funding or policy, might affect overall viability. Opportunities to optimise the scheme through design refinements can help clients maximise returns.
