Fieldwork
We are planning and property professionals.
We work with urban and rural landowners to reveal their development potential.
We share the risk and reward and do not charge an upfront fee.
What we do
Open House London launch at Great Suffolk Yard, New-works recently completed building in Southwark.
Fieldwork is a team of planning and property specialists with 25 years of expertise in creating financial and social value from land and property for public, private, and third sectors.
We help asset-rich, cash-poor landowners maximise the value of their assets without upfront investment or reliance on developer valuations. Our comprehensive services include site assessment, potential use analysis, design proposals, and market preparation.
For private landowners, there are no upfront fees. We partner with clients, assume the risks, and share a percentage of the value created upon sale. Our approach lowers costs, reduces risk, and incentivises ambitious schemes to maximise returns.

-
Appraisal
We carry out an initial review of the opportunities for free and feedback with our proposal for your consideration.
-
Secure Value
Once appointed, we follow the agreed strategy to develop the proposals and secure value through, for example, planning permission.
-
Sale
With the value established, we prepare a sales pack for the site so it can be taken to market and realise its potential. Our fee is deducted from the proceeds of the sale.

What Our Clients Say
Rosie Russell, Landowner
"Fieldwork has provided thoughtful and considered advice about the development of my land. My site is not straightforward, and I wasn't sure about how best to engage the development sector about developing it.
As an individual private landowner, with limited experience of development, it is important to me that I can trust those working with me to work in my best interests. Fieldwork has spent time to build trust, sharing ideas and workings. They have communicated clearly and openly with me throughout. I feel confident my priorities are being heard and the site’s value is being uncovered.
They share the risk, which reassures me. They do all the upfront work and get the sale before I need to pay anything. Because they share the benefit, I know it is in their interests to get the best deal.”
