Does This Sound Like You?
You already own the land. But every time you think about planning, it feels like opening a door you can’t close.
You’re told it might work — but only after surveys, consultants, applications, and months of waiting.
You’re asked to spend money before you know if there’s value.
And you’re left managing a process you never wanted to understand in the first place.
So you pause.
Not because the opportunity isn’t there —but because the risk sits with you.
And most people decide it’s safer to do nothing… even if it means leaving serious value behind.
Where Planning Risk Ends
We believe the person who owns the land shouldn’t also have to carry the planning risk. So we don’t ask you to.
Instead, we partner with you to unlock planning gain the right way — by funding and managing the entire planning process ourselves, before any value exists.
-
You don’t pay planning fees.
-
You don’t manage consultants.
-
You don’t gamble on outcomes.
We bring the capital, the experience, and the professional team needed to turn potential into a defined planning asset. You keep certainty. We handle the complexity.
Who We Help
Home & Landowners
✔ Home and landowners who feel overwhelmed by complex planning rules
You don’t need to understand planning policy, development law, or feasibility reports — we simplify everything and guide you step by step.
✔ Those who want to release funds for retirement, family support, or life changes
Whether you want financial breathing room, to help your children, or simply start fresh, your property may be able to provide more than you ever realised.
✔ Homeowners who want to profit from unused land without funding risk
No upfront costs. No dealing with architects. No builder headaches.
We connect you with developers who fund the entire process.
✔ Anyone curious whether their garden or land has hidden potential
Large gardens, corner plots, outbuildings, garages, unusual layouts — all of these could hold significant value. We help you find out.
The Process
Step 1 — Establish Whether Planning Is Realistic
Not all land is suitable for planning gain — and that’s a good thing.
We focus exclusively on land that sits within, or immediately adjacent to, an established settlement boundary, where policy support, precedent, and infrastructure already exist.
This is where planning has logic, not hope.
If your land is outside these boundaries, the risk profile changes — and we’ll be straight with you from the start.
Step 2 — Agree Certainty Before Any Work Begins
Before any planning activity takes place, we agree:
-
A fixed value for the land
-
A clear legal structure
-
A defined timeframe
Nothing moves forward without clarity.
This means you know exactly what success looks like before we invest time or capital.
Step 3 — We Fund and Manage the Planning Process
Once aligned, we take full responsibility for the planning process.
We appoint and manage:
-
Architects
-
Planning consultants
-
Required surveys
We fund the work, manage the applications, and deal with the council — keeping you informed without burdening you with decisions or paperwork.
Step 4 — Planning Gain Is Created
When planning permission is granted — or a strong, defined consent position is achieved — the land becomes something different.
It’s no longer speculative.
It’s a planning-approved asset.
At that point, the value unlocked by planning is real, measurable, and usable.
Step 5 — The Outcome Is Delivered
With planning gain achieved, the agreed outcome is executed exactly as structured at the beginning.
No renegotiation.
No surprises.
No pressure.
The process ends cleanly — with certainty preserved for all parties.

"Max at Tier One Real Estate helped us unlock value in our garden. For years we knew there was potential, but we didn't know where to start, or want to risk funds due to lack of knowledge. They handled everything with no cost to us. Highly recommended."
