Welcome to Ashfield Land

Ashfield Land has earned a reputation throughout the property industry for being imaginative, decisive and successful. We are a company prepared to act quickly and think long term... a company that people like to do business with.

Over the last 16 years we have brought hundreds of millions of pounds of projects to fruition. Some of these projects have been sold; others we have held. Today we have a portfolio valued at over £250m - across all sectors. All have been acquired within our significant equity resources.

Our approach is simple. We look at how we can add value to a property or site. We can do this because we understand planning and because we look beyond conventional development thinking.

In this website we describe the people that make Ashfield Land the company it is. And we look at some of the projects now coming forward or in the pipeline - some where we are actively seeking business partners.

But we are always seeking fresh challenges. So if you want to talk business, get in touch.

Ashfield Land - The Company

Our company was incorporated in 1990 following the merger of two independent companies. Today we have offices in Bristol, London, Glasgow and Birmingham, while our interests extend throughout the UK.

Our success is founded on our expertise in planning, our ability to fund acquisitions from equity reserves and our fast-track approach to decision making – often on an unconditional basis.

While we tend to concentrate on commercial space development including retail, office, industrial and leisure, we are equally at home working alongside residential developers where mixed use offers the best solution.

As you’ll see from our completed projects, we have a strong track record in maximising the value of brownfield sites: our ability to recognise the future potential of a site or property is a hallmark of our business.

Ashfield Land - The People

Between them, the six principals have spent some 150 years in the property business - encompassing planning, development, investment, agency and client-side work.

Ours is a close-knit team: if you want to talk business, you can speak to any one of us.

As our interests have grown, so has our company structure, but we remain a compact organisation: all our people have been selected for their knowledge of the property and planning business, and an ability to recognise an opportunity.

Over the pages of this website we have detailed some of the projects currently in hand, and illustrated some of the deals that have made our name.

If you would like to discuss any current project in more depth, or if you have an opportunity you think may be of interest to us, please get in touch. We always recognise a business introduction.

Acquisitions Sought

Ashfield has built its business by seeking out and maximising development opportunities - either through the planning process or by active management. That drive continues.

We will consider acquiring sites and properties throughout the UK in all sectors. Where we believe a mixed use development would benefit from specialist skills - such as housing - we often look to work in partnership.

Our strong preference is to acquire a freehold interest on an unconditional basis but we will consider all opportunities on their individual merits. We operate a swift decision making process and we have immediate funds available for further acquisitions. Introductions will be fully recognised.

While the company is keen to retain a high proportion of its holdings, it has sold on its interests in a number of developments - allowing it to extend its activities.
