Stag House, Old London Road, Hertford, Hertfordshire, SG13 7LA, Hertford
With over 50 years of combined experience, ChappellKing is the UK’s pre-eminent advisor in aviation real estate. We specialise in maximising value for airport owners and occupiers through strategic development, asset management, and unparalleled sector knowledge.
Decades of Experience at the Heart of Aviation Real Estate
We established ChappellKing in 2009 to fill a specific gap in the market: the need for deep, hands-on expertise in the complex world of airport-related property. Our directors, Keith Chappell (MRICS) and Andrew King (MRICS), bring over 50 years of combined experience to every project we undertake.
Having both served as senior leaders at BAA Lynton—the foremost developer of aviation property in the UK—we offer an "insider" perspective that few others can match. We don't just provide professional services; we provide the intellectual capital required to navigate the unique constraints and opportunities of airport environments.
Why the Aviation Sector Turns to Us
Whether you are an airport operator, a cargo specialist, or a property funder, we understand that aviation real estate requires a different rulebook. We are known for our decisive management style and our ability to handle the unexpected in an efficient, cost-effective manner.
"ChappellKing understand the value drivers and constraints of developing real estate within one of the World’s busiest International Airport operational environments." — Stephen Wilkinson, Heathrow Airport Property Director
