Where Open Land Meets Opportunity
Our Investment Focus
Utilities Land Investment is actively seeking strategic land acquisition opportunities across London and the South East of England. Our focus encompasses a broad spectrum of site types, including both brownfield (previously developed) and greenfield (undeveloped) land. We are interested in sites with long-term development potential.
We consider long-term residential development opportunities we welcome proposals from landowners, agents, developers, and public or private sector stakeholders. Our experienced acquisitions team is equipped to assess complex scenarios, unlock development constraints and also acquire land that is heavily restricted by covenant’s or with agricultural tenants.
If you have land which you are looking to sell, we would be pleased to discuss its potential for our portfolio.
Land Acquisitions
Utilities Land Investment has substantial access to funds available with the aim of acquiring 20-30 sites per year. Decisions on deals are provided within 1 week of lead generation and once terms are agreed we look to streamline the conveyance. We take a pragmatic approach on all deals and do our utmost best to conclude transactions in a timely manner.
Commercial Acquisitions — Breathing New Life into Underutilised Assets
At Utilities Commercial Investment, we are actively seeking commercial acquisition opportunities across London and the South East of England. Our focus is on underperforming or redundant commercial properties — including run-down yards, vacant industrial units, and outdated office spaces — with strong potential for refurbishment, repositioning, or redevelopment.
We are particularly interested in sites that offer scope for value enhancement through planning uplift, modernisation, or change of use. Whether occupied, vacant, or in need of significant improvement, we have the experience and capital to act decisively.
Our goal is to unlock the hidden value in commercial assets through strategic investment and high-quality redevelopment, creating future-ready spaces that respond to evolving market demands.
If you own or represent a commercial property with potential, we welcome the opportunity to explore its future with you.

Acquisition Process
1. Initial Contact
If you’ve received a letter from us, we encourage you to get in touch with one of our experienced team members. It’s helpful to have an idea of your land’s value—whether based on recent assessments, a valuation, or simply what you’d be willing to sell for. One of our dedicated land buyers will be happy to discuss your land, answer your questions, and outline potential next steps.
2. Offer and Negotiation
Following our initial discussion, if we see potential in your land, we aim to present a formal offer within 7 days. This offer is based on:
– Current market conditions
– The characteristics of your land
– The likelihood of a successful planning application in the future.
– Likelihood in a positive increase in capital value in medium to long term.
3. Acceptance and Legal Process
If you choose to accept our offer, we work to exchange contracts within 14 days. You’ll need to provide documentation via your solicitor, and our team will coordinate closely with them to ensure a smooth and efficient legal process.
4. Completion
Completion typically takes place around 2 months after contracts are exchanged. This period allows time to finalise legal and administrative matters and arrange the formal transfer of ownership. We’re experienced in adapting timelines to suit your needs and can be flexible where required.
