Since 1997, Moult Walker has delivered focused property solutions across the UK. From the £55m Market Place Romford scheme to strategic land sales, we combine RICS-regulated expertise with a niche, value-driven approach for housebuilders, retailers, and private landowners.
We are a niche property development consultancy dedicated to providing a focused, high-value approach to the planning and construction process. Since our formation in 1997, we have built a reputation for delivering tailored advice that navigates the complexities of the UK property market from initial inception to final completion.
Our philosophy is simple: we emphasise maximising value at every stage of the development lifecycle. Whether you are a national retailer, a major housebuilder, a local authority, or a private landowner, we bring a depth of knowledge that turns ambitious visions into viable realities.
Decades of Development Expertise
Our team is led by seasoned professionals who bring a wealth of hands-on experience to every instruction. Duncan Murdoch BSc (Hons) MRICS has been a driving force at Moult Walker since its inception, specialising in complex project management and land agency.
One of our standout achievements includes the £55 million Market Place scheme in Romford. Duncan acted as project manager for this intricate, phased mixed-use development, which delivered 135,000 sq ft of commercial space, an 80-bed Travelodge, and 120 apartments.
Supporting our strategic vision is Mike Moult FRICS, who brings extensive experience in retail foodstore development, having previously served as Development Director at Fine Fare and worked closely with major clients like Tesco and Boots for decades.
Why Property Owners and Developers Trust Us

Navigating Planning and Strategic Land
In an era where the Local Plan system can be a significant hurdle, we pride ourselves on our ability to progress planning strategies with the end use always in mind. We handle everything from defending enforcement actions to coordinating design teams for 400-home applications.
We have a specific niche in Sports and Leisure enabling developments. Often, these schemes require delicate negotiation to mitigate the loss of facilities, working closely with bodies like Sport England. Our success at Lucas Lane, Hitchin, where we managed the planning and funding for new sports provision, is a testament to our ability to balance community needs with commercial viability.
