We work in partnership with landowners and our team of property professionals to maximise the value of land assets. We source development opportunities and carry out the entire planning process from start to finish. Our planning applications are successful because we work very closely with the local communities, local planning officers and town councils to create the most mutually beneficial and financially viable plans.

Asset Management
Praders specialism is transforming problematic buildings into income generating assets through creative solutions and thinking ‘outside the box’. Our service is not limited to London and the South East, we have advised on many properties in various locations throughout the UK.
Grainger House in Newcastle was a typical example where the property was no longer fit for purpose as a modern office due to the property's age and secondary location, however its size and proximity to the train station meant the property lent itself well to being used as budget accommodation. Praders team created a feasibility study to advise on the future strategy and bring the properties value back in line with lending requirements.
