We’re an experienced land development company who makes a difference to our communities. We work with both private landowners looking to maximise the value of their land, whether that's through selling to or partnering with Lovell, and with public sector landowners who are looking for innovative, value-led solutions to housing challenges.

Public sector land development

Lovell creates opportunities where other land developers cannot. Our land development case studies demonstrate the genuinely unique and outstandingly creative ways in which we have been able to unlock sites that had proved difficult to bring to market. We respond to each project's unique factors, working our way around constraints by using our commercial expertise, our technical and regeneration skills and our access to funds.

We have the full range of capabilities to see a project from beginning to end and the local knowledge to understand the unique conditions of each opportunity. Our record of finding solutions to build high quality housing at pace to meet local need is second to none. As in all of our partnerships, clarity of communication, mutual understanding, transparency and total trust all combine to create the conditions for bold and ambitious projects to thrive.

Private land development

We have enormous experience of the process of working with private landowners and have reached countless mutually-beneficial agreements over the decades. If you contact us, we will respond quickly, honestly and in a transparent manner.
