Residential Investment & Development

Residential Investment & Development

We have worked with residential developers for many years following the trend of commercial property and sites being converted to residential use.

We offer:

  • Commercial agents with proven experience of selling to residential developers
  • An in-house planning team with a track-record in securing planning permission for residential schemes
  • Valuation experts who can assess the risks involved in a development to assist with securing finance

 

We email monthly updates on the latest residential land and development properties and sites available through Ryden.

If you would like to be added to our distribution list please email residentialdevelopment@ryden.co.uk with your contact details.

Or you can search here for all the residential development opportunities we are currently marketing.

Aberdeenshire Sites

  • Areas in and around Aberdeen are still in very high demand with housebuilders and the difficulty can be securing planning permission for the developments.
  • We’ve secured Local Development Plan allocations for an 885 house site at Laurencekirk, 150 houses on a site in Turriff and a first tranche of 35 houses at Drumoak for a variety of local housebuilders and have more projects coming through.

Abbeyhill, Edinburgh

  • We advised the owners of two adjoining industrial buildings, a former car showroom and an electrical wholesaler on a site of c. 1.95 acres, on redevelopment options.
  • Having considered a proposal for student housing we concluded that the recovering market for residential apartment developers was the best target from both a value and planning risk perspective. 
  • Following a restricted marketing campaign and multiple bids we concluded a subject to planning deal with Bellway Homes. 
  • We advised the client throughout the complex planning application and on the agreement of abnormal development costs that resulted from this brownfield site.
  • The sale was completed in 2016 and Bellway is constructing 138 new apartments.
