Does your land or property hold untapped value.

The Uplift Group partners with property and landowners to unlock unrealised value through the planning system, covering every cost, sharing every reward.

Guaranteed uplift on current market value

Land becomes permission. We deliver the value, then take them to market on your behalf.

01About

A new kind of land & property developer.

— Cost

Zero upfront cost.

We absorb 100% of planning, legal and technical. You commit your land, nothing more. You stay the owner throughout.

— Alignment

We share the upside.

Our entire model is aligned with yours. We earn only when a sale is achieved and value is realised. We win when you do.

— Stewardship

We leave it better.

Property is one of life’s most personal decisions. Our clients are at the heart of everything we do, with a community-first, sensitive design. Sustainability at our core.

02How we work — Land

From potential to permission.

01 / Identify

We find hidden value.

Strategic appraisals, edge-of-settlement opportunities and infill sites, we identify where the planning system can deliver the most value.

02 / Partner

We share the journey.

Through Option or Promotion Agreements we align our success with yours. You retain ownership; we shoulder every cost and risk of the planning process.

03 / Promote

We secure planning.

Local Plan representations, allocations, pre-application discussions and full applications, managed end-to-end by our planning and design team.

04 / Deliver

We unlock the uplift.

Once consent is achieved we take the consented site to market, securing the strongest offer from a competitive pool of agents, investors and developers.

03Services

Two routes to unlock value.

01Option Agreement

For certainty.

We agree a price (or pricing mechanism) up front. If we secure planning consent, we have the option to purchase your land at that price.

  • Agreed price reflects the development risk we take on
  • Clear, contractual exit for the landowner
  • All planning costs covered by Uplift
  • Best for owners seeking speed and certainty

02Promotion Agreement

For maximum upside.

We promote the land through planning and, once consented, take it to market. You receive the proceeds, less an agreed promoter fee.

  • Open-market sale to the highest credible bidder
  • Fully aligned, we earn from your uplift
  • All planning & marketing costs covered
  • Best for owners seeking maximum value
