Consultancy and project support

At Glenesk, we are very conscious that development teams within Housing Associations and Local Authorities can often be constrained.

The desire to deliver significantly more affordable homes is often hampered by the capacity and experience of in-house teams, where often finances and/ or resource are in short supply.

Our development team comprises individuals with experience of affordable housing development in Scotland.  We have expertise in robustly assessing the viability of development, during the land acquisition stage and throughout the Scottish planning and funding processes. We also have commercial and build specialists in the Glenesk team, who’s experience and input on deliverability and costs is key to the successful conclusion of any project.

The Glenesk team has an extensive track record of success, having acquired land, achieved planning consents, value engineered and then constructed over 3,000 affordable homes for social rent.

When your team is under pressure, Glenesk Advisors can provide the support needed, to ensure your ambitious plans can be met.
