Client-focussed, bespoke & commercially sound advice

Will McLaren-Clark • Mar 25, 2021

Our aim is simple - maximise the value of your land. And we are specialists in all aspects of the development process.

Throughout 2020 and now into 2021, we continue to achieve extremely strong values on all site sales and to negotiate highly competitive agreement terms for all our landowner clients. Economic uncertainty continues, but we have not seen the land market dampen. Working closely with our most trusted lawyers and tax advisors, we develop the best strategies for our landowning clients. 


While no one can truly predict what lies ahead for the market, whatever the future holds, early engagement and a well-conceived strategy for land promotion is key. Our free land appraisals allow landowners to make informed decisions before embarking upon a potentially life changing journey. 

 MCC were a pleasure to do business with. They understood what we - the client - wanted to ac hieve and provided pragmatic and knowledgable advice throughout the transaction. Challenges were assessed calmly and professionally and resolutions achieved. The resultant transaction achieved a highly successful outcome.

Recent successes for 2021

We have a solid record of success and we are delighted to announce on behalf of our clients and our team the completion of two sites , Manor Road, Selsey (193 units) and Drove Lane, Yapton (300 units).  

 

Well done to everyone who was involved in both of these successful projects. We look forward to working with Landlink Estates in the future.


Congratulations also to Reside Developments Ltd  on securing unanimous approval at Planning Committee for 42 homes in the village of Eastergate. The scheme was highly commended by Planning Committee Members who believe it represents an exemplar scheme that should be used as a model across the District for future developments. Huge thanks to Reside and their team for all of their hard work on this project. A fantastic result in super quick time.


For the team here at a MCC this is another successful planning consent on a site within the Arun District for one our landowner Clients. Find out more here:

We highly value the working relationship that we have with the team at MCC and have recommended their extremely commercial and professional services to a number of our landowner clients who have subsequently been impressed with the advice provided. 

Working with MCC we know that clients will look for solutions to any problems arising. The solutions are always clear cut, concise and pragmatic - a collaborative approach to find the best solution for the landowner client.
 
The advice is always impartial and honest and matters are always handled with integrity and discretion.

A trip down memory lane...

By Will McLaren-Clark • 02 Nov, 2020
This week we would usually be hosting our annual lunch for Clients in London. For obvious reasons we will be having a fallow year in 2020, but look forward to once again sharing more fun, laughter and a few too many drinks with you all when it’s safe to do so. For now, take care, look after one another and keep smiling. Will
