Unlocking Hidden Value in Land & Property

A considered, investment-led approach for landowners and homeowners

Square Acre Property & Land Ltd work with landowners and homeowners who suspect their land or property may have more potential than is currently being realised, but want clarity before taking any next step.

Rather than advising from the sidelines, we invest our own funds, experience, and expertise to unlock value responsibly, with clear terms agreed in advance and risk managed carefully.

This approach is not about pressure or speculation. It is about understanding what may be possible and deciding, with confidence, whether it is right for you.

How we help

People come to us for different reasons, but most share a common concern: uncertainty.

Uncertainty around planning permission, costs, timing, disruption, or whether pursuing additional value is genuinely worthwhile.

Our role is to remove as much of that uncertainty as possible at an early stage.

Please select the option below that best reflects your situation:

Land & Garden Planning Uplift

For owners of land, side plots, or larger gardens

Some land has development potential that is not reflected in its current value - often because planning permission has not been explored.

Our planning-led approach allows landowners to benefit from potential value uplift without taking on planning costs or managing the process themselves.

In brief:

  • We assess whether planning permission is realistically achievable

  • Where suitable, we agree a price for the land before planning is pursued

  • We fund and manage the planning application at our cost and risk

  • If planning permission is granted and a buyer is secured, the sale proceeds on the agreed terms

This route is chosen by landowners who value clarity, realism, and a low-pressure process.

Assisted Property Sales

For homeowners considering selling who want to maximise value

Some properties can achieve a better sale outcome with targeted improvements made before going to market.

An assisted sale allows those improvements to be made with clear terms agreed in advance and with investment, experience, and management support provided by us.

This is not about over-improving or speculative renovation. It is about making informed decisions that are driven by buyer demand and market context.

In brief:

  • We assess whether improvements are likely to add meaningful value

  • We agree terms clearly before any works begin

  • We invest in and manage agreed improvements

  • The property is sold once its potential has been realised

A note on option agreements

Where planning permission is required, we typically use an option agreement.

An option agreement is a well-established way for landowners and developers to work together where planning permission is needed. It allows us to invest in the planning process while providing the landowner with certainty on price and next steps.

All terms are agreed in advance, and nothing proceeds without full understanding and agreement from both parties.

Exploring potential does not commit you to anything.

An initial conversation is simply an opportunity to understand what may be possible, ask questions, and decide, now or in the future, whether it suits your circumstances.
