Strategic Planning
Knight Frank provides the leading team to deliver this essential service to landowners and farmers.
The service brings experience from rural properties of all types and sizes across the UK to your estate or farm. It allows the owner to stand back and identify and prioritise matters of real importance.
These include:-
- Planning for the needs of the next generation, including Capital Tax planning.
- Enhancing the value of the property.
- Obtaining the optimum return by increasing revenue, diversifying income streams and, where appropriate, reducing costs.
- Forensic assessment of the performance of existing specific enterprises.
- Maximising potential by identifying and planning for development opportunities.
The service will appeal particularly to:-
- Trustees who are interested in a “health check” to ensure that the properties they are responsible for are complying and performing satisfactorily.
- Landowners who are concerned to improve performance and take full advantage of latent opportunity, whilst achieving their other objectives.
- Purchasers who see value in a blue print Master Plan to guide their use and enjoyment of the property they have bought and assist in planning investment.
It is complimentary to, not competing with, existing management.
Knight Frank has an unrivalled range of services to provide specialist advice to the rural property owner. The Rural Consultancy Strategic Planning team access these skills to provide real depth of knowledge where required. For example, residential development, rural planning, leisure, tax planning and business diversification.
The service is run by Sandy Douglas, who is the department head and has 34 years of experience. He has worked with Percy Lawson on strategic planning for six years and together they have successfully completed plans for estates, private houses and farms across the UK.
