How local knowledge, negotiation and the right connections helped unlock a major housing development.
Successful property development often depends on more than identifying a suitable site. Sometimes, the key to unlocking a development lies in securing the right neighbouring property.
Kevan Shepherd of Shepherd & White Estate & Letting Agents played a pivotal role in the Barlestone development off Newbold Road, introducing the buyer and negotiating the purchase of 74A Newbold Road — a property that was critically important in providing access to the proposed development site.
This was a transaction where understanding the bigger picture was essential. By bringing the parties together and negotiating the acquisition, Kevan helped address a key access requirement, demonstrating how experienced estate agency professionals can contribute real value beyond a conventional property transaction.
The development, promoted by Maruti Developments, progressed through a detailed planning process with Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council. Following the refusal of the planning application by the council, the subsequent appeal was allowed, paving the way for the proposed residential development to move forward, subject to the relevant planning conditions.
With more than 40 years of estate agency experience, Kevan understands that property opportunities are not always obvious. Recognising potential, building relationships and negotiating the right deal can make a significant difference to a development's prospects.
At Shepherd & White, we look beyond the property itself. We look at the opportunity.
