Development Consultancy Services by Chesworths Commercial
At Chesworths Commercial, we provide a comprehensive range of development consultancy services designed to help landowners, developers, and businesses optimise the use of land and property.
With extensive experience across Surrey and London, our Chartered Surveyors and Registered Valuers offer tailored advice and practical solutions to maximise the value and profitability of your assets. Our key services include:
Feasibility Studies
We specialise in Desktop and Feasibility Studies for potential development sites. Working with our network, our studies aim to identify the best use of land and buildings, balancing development potential with profitability. Typically conducted on a pre-planning basis, these assessments provide valuable insights into:
Potential land values.
Build densities.
Resale values for proposed developments.
Our expertise helps clients make informed decisions about site viability and optimal land use.
Viability Studies
When planning permission is granted for a development, Chesworths Commercial offers expert advice to landowners and developers on the viability of their projects. Our viability assessments examine:
Development procurement costs.
Projected resale values.
Build costs.
We also assess Local Planning Authorities’ requirements, such as Section 106 contributions and Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) charges, with the aim of minimizing developer contributions. Our reports are instrumental in ensuring your project remains commercially viable.
Market Assessment Reports
A Market Assessment Report is a critical tool for promoting alternative uses for existing buildings. These reports evaluate:
The condition, construction, and specifications of the property.
Local availability of comparable spaces.
Market demand for alternative uses.
This detailed analysis supports planning applications by demonstrating “no loss of amenity” or highlighting obsolescence. Our team collaborates with landowners, developers, town planners, architects, and lawyers to produce compelling reports that bolster change-of-use proposals or redevelopment plans.
Maximizing Value Through Development
At Chesworths Commercial, we understand that profitability and use-class considerations are vital when deciding to redevelop. Our services help ensure your project remains financially viable while providing supplementary advice to underpin development proposals. From planning advice to ownership decisions, we’re here to support your goals.
