planning, development & funding

Douglas Duff provides advice for its clients upon all aspects of commercial, industrial and mixed use property development. We have advised upon successful development projects for occupiers, property developers and investors.

Our planning, development and funding service guides our client through the key stages of the development process:

• Assisting with the definition of the objectives and the desired outcomes of the project.


• Providing a clear local context for the project in terms of the commercial property market and the planning framework.


• Proposing possible solutions, testing the viability of options and making recommendations.


• Valuation and sales and leasing advice.


• Funding advice to enable delivery of the project including forward sale, joint venture, development finance or investment sale upon completion. This includes residential development finance.


• Building and co-ordinating an advisory team by recommending the appointment of suitable complementary advisors including architects, town planners, quantity surveyors, structural engineers and other specialists where appropriate.
