Attention!!   Property Developers + Land Traders!

Unlock Your Potential in Land, Planning + Property Development with Our    4-Day Industry Leading Development Intensive Training to Master Deal Structuring + Maximise Profits​

In today's dynamic market, the journey of a Developer is rife with challenges. Unfortunately, both aspiring and established Developers find themselves falling short of their dreams, or worse, facing losses and serious financial setbacks. It's a far cry from the booming housing markets and easier planning regime of the past, where small-scale developers thrived by the thousands.

With so much at stake – including significant time and financial investment and the vital task of meeting housing need – relying on trial and error is a risky game. Every missed opportunity and misstep in the process can have serious repercussions.
Even if you are fortunate enough to excel at building for yourself, you'll be aware of the other major hurdles such as:

  • ​​​​Quickly navigating and assessing the potential
  • ​Negotiating with landowners and overcoming unrealistic expectations
  • ​Securing deals on terms and at prices that work for you
  • ​Understanding, locating and managing the best consultants
  • ​Instructing the optimum scheme design
  • ​Winning the very best planning and P.D permission quickly
  • ​Finding the right investment and finances
  • Making sure that you have ALL of your numbers right​

At Millbank, we recognise that success in this industry requires more than just construction skills – it demands expertise, strategy, and mentorship. Learning from seasoned professionals who have weathered the storms of development is crucial for achieving your goals.

PAUL HIGGS

At its simplest, everything starts with land.

I eventually worked this out for myself in 1988 when I progressed from doing smaller refurb deals to securing bigger land opportunities and building my first new-build house. I’ve spent the rest of my career (including 10 years with the PLC Housebuilders) learning exactly how to secure the best deals, maximise land values and win the best planning permissions (I still have a 100% track-record at planning!!). I set up Millbank Land Academy over 10 years ago to share what I’ve learnt and help you identify, negotiate, and secure genuine off-market land opportunities, design optimum schemes that add maximum value and win the best planning permissions first time, every time.

We aim to equip you and your team to become the very best property and construction professionals and help get more, good quality housing created, the right way. We do this by focusing on the skills and knowledge required to become highly effective, quality-driven, site finders, land buyers and traders, development managers, land promoters and developers, who know exactly how to spot potential and unlock its highest value.

​l established Millbank Land Academy to lift the lid on insider knowledge to help improve the skills of the industry workforce - as well as support and encourage new entrants - to create good quality housing and get deals done the right way.
