Property Acquisition & Land

A straightforward way to
exit your |

I work with landlords who want to step away from property, and land & building owners who want to unlock their assets value.

No agents. No chains. No messing about. Just a proper conversation and a deal that works for both sides.

Who I Work With

Two types of people
tend to come to me.

They're different situations, but they usually have one thing in common: they've built something up over a long time, and now they want to move on. Sensibly, without drama.

Retiring Landlords

You've had enough of the day-to-day.

You've owned property for years, possibly decades. You've dealt with tenants, maintenance calls, agents, compliance, rent arrears. The lot. And now you're ready to be done with it.

The problem is, selling isn't straightforward. A block of flats or portfolio isn't like selling a house. Agents don't always know what to do with it. Buyers are often unreliable. Deals fall through.

  • Management that never seems to end
  • Tenant problems you're tired of dealing with
  • Regulatory pressure piling up
  • Agents who don't understand commercial property
  • Buyers who say yes and then walk away

I buy directly. No agent chain. I'll assess your property, agree a fair price, and put it in writing. If we're going to do a deal, we do it properly. Certainty on both sides.

Land & Building Owners

You have land or a building. You know it's worth something.

Maybe it's farmland with development potential. Maybe it's a commercial building that's past its best use. Maybe it's a site that's been sitting in the family for years and nobody's quite known what to do with it.

You don't want to become a developer. You don't want to carry the planning risk yourself. You just want someone to work with you honestly and give your asset its proper value.

  • Land or buildings with development or conversion potential
  • Previous conversations that went nowhere
  • Planning feels complicated, expensive, and uncertain
  • Not sure who to trust or what your site is actually worth
  • You want a fair deal structured around the real value — not just what it's worth today

I work with land and building owners to understand the asset, assess what's possible, and structure something that reflects its true potential. That might be an Option Agreement, a Promotion Agreement, or a simple purchase.

How I Work

There's no script.
Just an honest conversation.

First, I listen. Every property is different. Every person's situation is different.

I'll ask questions about the property, about what you're looking for, and about what matters to you in a deal. Sometimes people want the highest price. Sometimes they want speed. Sometimes they want someone to take the hassle away so they can sleep properly again.

Then I'll go away, do my own work, come back with a proper position, and tell you what I think makes sense. If we're aligned, we move forward. If we're not, I'll tell you that too. Honestly, without wasting your time.

Once we agree on something, we formalise it and instruct to solicitors straight away.

If the right deal is there, we'll find it.

"I'd rather spend an extra two weeks getting the deal right than rush something and have it fall apart six months in."

Creative Deal Structures

Not every deal
looks the same way.

Flexibility is one of the most useful things I can offer. I'm not tied to one way of doing things. If a different structure makes the deal work better for you, let's talk about it.

01

Straightforward Purchase

We agree a price, you get paid, and it's done. Clean, simple, no fuss. Sometimes that's exactly what's needed.

02

Exchange with Delayed Completion

We agree a price today and exchange contracts, so the sale is legally committed. Completion happens later, typically 12 to 36 months down the line. In the meantime, I take over management. You stop dealing with tenants and stop worrying about the day-to-day. From exchange, not completion.

03

Joint Venture

On the right site, we can work together rather than me simply buying you out. You bring the land, I bring the development experience and funding. We share the upside. This can work well where there's significant planning potential.

04

Option & Promotion Agreements

An option or promotion agreement means I don't have to buy at today's value. I take the time to add value to the site — usually through planning — and when we complete, I can pay you more because of what's been achieved. You get a better price. I get the time to make it work. It suits both sides.

These aren't the only ways we can work together. If your situation is unusual, and a lot of property situations are, let's just talk it through. I've usually seen something like it before.

About

Lewis Kennedy

Lewis Kennedy

Property Acquisition & Development

I've spent my whole career in property: buying, selling, developing, managing, and financing assets in various roles across residential, commercial, land and mixed-use. I started small, learned on the job, and built up from there.

I'm not running a large fund. I don't have a head office or a team of analysts. What I have is a strong network of lenders, planning consultants, and legal advisors, and the experience to put a deal together properly.

I focus on blocks of flats, mixed-use buildings, and land with development potential. These are things I understand well. I know how to manage them, how to finance them, and how to add value.

Most of the people I deal with have owned their property for a long time. They've put years of work into it. The last thing they need is to deal with someone who wastes their time, chips their price at the last minute, or drops out of a deal without warning.

I've built my reputation on the opposite of that. I work hard, keep my word, and when I shake hands on something, I mean it.

I'm not the right buyer for everyone, and I won't pretend otherwise. But if your situation is the kind I work with, I think you'll find I'm straightforward to deal with. And that's worth something.

"I got into property to build something worthwhile. The way I do that is by dealing honestly with every person I meet."

Start a Conversation

No obligation.
Just a proper conversation.

If you've got property you want to talk through, whether that's a block of flats, a site with potential, or something you're not quite sure what to do with, get in touch. I'll give you an honest view, whatever that turns out to be.
