Caldecotte Group is a leading independent real estate consultancy that has advised international clients across multiple sectors for almost 20 years. Founded by director Paul Sturgess in 1996, Caldecotte offers a full range of specialist services and can advise on every aspect of a real estate project, from auditing and asset valuation to transaction management and bespoke planning permission. Our clients are some of the best-known names in their respective. In the financial sector they include Barclays Capital, accountancy Deloitte, buyout firm Terra Firma Capital Partners, turnaround firm Better Capital and Paradigm Asset Management. Our consumer and leisure clients include pub operators Greene King and the Wellington Pub Company to name but a few, and supermarket chains Spar and the Co-op. As consultants we audit the portfolios of some of the UK’s biggest property owners for value uplift opportunities. We also advise on alternative use potential, identify occupiers for specific assets, and conduct feasibility studies and development appraisals. As planners we give strategic advice for projects of all sizes. We undertake casework including major and minor residential applications, mixed use and commercial projects, specialist heritage projects, site promotion, removal or variation of conditions, demolition and negotiations for S106 agreements. The sales and acquisitions team of Caldecotte’s agency arm provides expert valuation advice and site sourcing, and leads negotiations for the disposals and purchases of assets to achieve maximum value. As surveyors, we can provide condition, structural and dilapidation reports for all property types. Valuations, lease assignments and party wall agreements are all covered by our in-house team. Our clients approach us seeking a turn-key service from concept to delivered project. With property prices rising, this enables our clients to take full advantage of the buoyant market, maximising their return.
