Helping You Achieve the Highest Value for Your Land
Many people own land or property that may be worth significantly more than they realise.
You may own a tired building, an underused garden, redundant commercial property, or a field no longer required for its original use.

​
We work in partnership with landowners, structuring agreements that allow us to fully fund and manage the planning and promotion process, while you retain ownership and receive the majority of the uplift in value at no cost or risk to you upfront.

Who We Are
HRE Land Co is a specialist strategic land and planning business focused solely on site acquisition, promotion, and development-led land value.
​
We work with landowners across the UK to assess development potential, secure planning permission, and deliver a competitive and transparent sale to our SME Developers.
​
Planning is the only sector we operate in. Our expertise is built around planning policy, site strategy, land agreements, and the delivery of planning-led outcomes.
​
​​
What We Do
We're specialists in increasing the value of land through a structured, planning-led approach. Our focus is on identifying development potential, securing planning consent, and delivering a competitive and transparent route to sale.
​
Many landowners hold assets that may have significantly greater value than their existing use. This can include underutilized land, redundant buildings, large gardens, or strategic land with long-term development potential. Our role is to assess this opportunity, structure the right agreements, and manage the process from initial appraisal through to completion as a complete end to end service.
​
We fund the planning and promotion processes in full, manage the professional team, and take on the financial and operational risk. In return, we share in the uplift created once planning consent is achieved, with landowners benefiting from the majority of the increased value.​
​​
​​
​
Our Approach
Rather than purchasing land at discounted prices, we typically work through option and promotion agreements. This allows us to invest in the full planning process while protecting your position as landowner and ourselves as the land promoter.
We take on the financial and operational risk by funding:
​
-
Planning consultants
-
Architects and design teams
-
Surveys and technical reports
-
Planning applications and negotiations
-
Professional and legal support
​
Once planning consent is secured, your site is marketed to our network of SME developers to create a competitive bidding environment and a seamless route to sale. You retain ownership throughout and benefit from the majority of the uplift achieved.​
​​
​
Our Focus Areas
We typically work across:
• Planning uplift and land promotion
• Underutilised or surplus land and property
• Strategic land and long-term opportunities
• Consented residential development
• Site assembly and development-led acquisitions
