Land Evaluation for Development: Standard Due Diligence Package
Our goal is to provide you with the clarity and confidence to make an informed decision on purchasing land—ensuring you buy at the right price, with the certainty that you can build your dream villa legally and within budget.
We offer a comprehensive due diligence package that includes:
- Architectural Assessment of the Plot
Our architect evaluates the plot based on your vision, considering key factors such as topography, shape, orientation, access, neighboring properties, and more. Wherever possible, we visit the site with you; alternatively, we can conduct this assessment via video consultation. If you are considering multiple plots within driving distance, we can assess them together for comparison.
Before our consultation, we ask you to share photos, reference images, and a brief description of how you intend to use your villa. Understanding your vision is essential to providing relevant advice.
- Development Cost Appraisal
We provide a detailed cost estimation spreadsheet, outlining projected expenses for construction, taxes, professional fees, insurance, utility connections, and other essential costs.
A few days after our initial consultation, we meet online to review the estimates, adjust assumptions, and explore different budget scenarios. This process helps you understand the financial feasibility of the project and negotiate the land price with confidence.
- Planning Regulations Review
We confirm the local planning regulations applicable to your chosen plot, including direct follow-up with the relevant authorities to ensure compliance.
Pricing Structure
Our fee is based on the time required for site visits and follow-up assessments rather than a per-plot charge. A standard package includes a half-day site visit and subsequent due diligence on the selected plot(s).
Let us help you make a well-informed decision—ensuring your future home is built on the right foundation.

Market Study & Residual Valuation: Determining the Right Price for Your Land
For clients who want a deeper financial analysis, we offer a market study to estimate the value of your completed villa. This enables us to conduct a residual valuation, a critical calculation that determines the maximum price you should pay for the land to ensure a profitable or cost-neutral investment.
How It Works
- We assess the market value of similar completed villas in the area.
- We subtract all estimated costs—including construction, taxes, and professional fees.
- The remaining figure represents the maximum price you should pay for the land without making a loss.
While the formula is straightforward, each input requires careful judgment based on local market dynamics.
Expert-Led Valuation
Our founder, John Wolfendale, brings extensive experience in property valuation, primarily advising British clients to RICS standards. His background in London’s commercial property investment market ensures a professional and data-driven approach.
A Hands-On Approach
If you prefer to conduct your own analysis, we can guide you through the process. This hands-on approach can be beneficial, as gathering market data yourself gives you a stronger feel for local property values, enhancing your ability to negotiate effectively.
This service ensures you enter negotiations fully informed and confident, maximizing the value of your investment and comes at a supplementary charge.
