About Us

We passionately believe you cannot ‘google create’ a successful development which is why we spend most of our time on the road meeting vendors, operators and land owners. You simply cannot replace going to see the land, taking the time to meet and understand what owners want to achieve - it’s what makes our business so interesting and rewarding.

Over the last 20 years working in the occupational and investment market, we have garnered a huge amount of information on exactly what occupiers are looking for when they select a site for their business. Their operational needs are constantly changing and we make it our expertise to understand how this affects their business – where they need to be, what they are looking for and the metrics they use to evaluate a site. Likewise, keeping abreast of the current construction and delivery methods, allows us to advise these occupiers on efficiencies to keep their costs down and to help make their businesses successful. This has earned us respect and the trust that we put together well thought through solutions to the schemes we develop for them.

With over four decades of combined industry experience, we have built up an extensive network of highly regarded professional and industry support professionals which we use to assemble the due diligence for the projects. We manage the development process to ensure that our clients and land owners receive best in class professional advice from pre-planning through to completion.

Our Clients

Our client is always the landowner and our solution is tailored to them. This ranges from an outright purchase of the land on an unconditional basis, a conditional purchase with the benefit of planning or finally, a joint venture. Each approach reflects a risk or timing profile which is most comfortable for the land owner. In turn, our overall aim is to deliver the best value for the land owner both for the land and for delivering the development.

Our Funding

We have a tiered funding pool for the different types and sizes of projects we are asked to undertake. This ranges from high net worth individuals, through to funds and development companies. Each of these funding sources have specific investment and return parameters that we will select as the most appropriate and cost efficient for each of our development schemes. Our scheme financing ranges from £1m to £15m. In each scheme Boudica Developments will invest equity, either in it’s entirety or in conjunction with a co investor.

Sector Expertise

The combined experience of the Boudica team in real estate development and advisory work ranges from site finding, financial modelling, construction and project management. We are focussed within the UK property market and have particular specialisms in the UK residential, commercial and retail markets. We offer concise and proactive advice. We see ourselves as stewards of our client's capital. We provide detailed contextual analysis for the development opportunity to ensure that the client understands the economic context of their land asset from both wider regional and local micro-market perspectives. We work with leading real estate advisory companies from the relevant sector to provide competitive supply chain analysis and full financial appraisals. Our extensive experience guides new land owners into the market through the nuances and peculiarities of UK property and how to position new developments to ensure that they are attractive to the occupiers and eventual investment sale. Further detail on our individual specialisms is available in Sector Specific drop down menu.
