Two experienced industry professionals in Herts have come together to form a new land sales, development and architecture consultancy.
Developer Michael Margereson and chartered surveyor Toby Lambert have joined forces to create Mito Land, a new business based in Harpenden.
Michael, a seasoned development expert with a background in both commercial and residential planning, and Toby, a chartered surveyor with an extensive track record in residential land transactions, will work with design consultant Philip Ashenden, who has more than 20 years of experience in architectural and urban planning for major UK housebuilders.
MiTo Land will provide specialist expertise to landowners and SME developers. Its formation follows the Government’s aspiration to bring forward 1.5 million new homes before the next General Election, along with measures to support SME housebuilders including the Home Building Fund Extension, Housing Guarantees and Greener Homes Alliance loans initiative.
Toby said: “We look forward to working with landowners across the Home Counties, using our knowledge and connections to navigate the complex land sales process, to determine the most suitable route to a sale and unlock the full value of each piece of land. In the context of the government’s growth agenda, the opportunity to realise land value has never been greater.”
Michael said: “For developers we offer a strategic approach to land acquisition, planning and development services, delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that maximise land potential.
“We will help simplify the ever-changing complexities of achieving planning consent, providing a tailored and rapid route to a successful completed development.
“With the Government pledging a commitment to housebuilders of all sizes, we expect to see more opportunities for smaller, well-planned residential sites, especially in the Home Counties and East of England where demand is very high.”
Mito Land will initially operate across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk.
