Mixed and Alternative Uses

Identifying residential and alternative use development opportunities that match clients’ business aims whether as standalone or mixed use developments

Hartnell Taylor Cook’s Mixed and Alternative Use team provides development consultancy and agency advice across a wide range of land use sectors and through all stages of the development process. These uses include residential, hotels, retirement, care homes, childcare, student accommodation and strategic employment.

We work with a variety of developers, investors, local authorities, family trusts, occupiers and end users throughout the UK providing detailed advice on all aspects of property development. Such developments are often standalone but increasingly mixed use in nature in order to satisfy the objectives of landowners, developers and local planning authorities. We collaborate with our Agency, Consultancy and traditional market sector teams to provide clients with a comprehensive, co-ordinated service.

Through our extensive industry contacts and continuous assessment of evolving market conditions, we can identify land and buildings with development or refurbishment potential that accurately match client business aims – often before they are available on the open market.

Once a project is initiated we will work closely to guide our clients through the entire development process, from the scheme’s conception during feasibility and implementation stage through to the letting/sale, ensuring that risk is minimised and return on investment maximised.
