After 30 years leading rural teams at Knight Frank and Strutt & Parker, James Del Mar provides a bespoke, independent alternative. We offer high-level strategic advice, problem-solving, and acquisition support for rural estates, acting as your dedicated, expert sounding board.
Your Independent Partner in Rural Property
We believe that rural property is unique—it is often a blend of business, home, and vocation. That complexity requires more than just a service provider; it requires a trusted partner who understands the "art of the possible."
At James Del Mar Ltd, we provide focused, independent advice tailored entirely to your goals. After three decades in the industry, we know that clients value direct access to an experienced professional who can cut through the noise and deliver straightforward solutions. Whether we are acting as a sounding board or assembling a full project team, our focus remains entirely on your best interests.
30 Years of High-Level Expertise
Our founder, James Del Mar, has been immersed in the rural estates world for over 30 years. His career has seen him lead Rural Consultancy at Knight Frank, establish specialist teams for HS2, and serve as a Director at Rural Solutions.
Today, we bring that wealth of institutional knowledge to a more personal setting. We work with:
- Private Landowners: Navigating succession, estate planning, and revenue enhancement.
- Investors: Providing expert acquisition and disposal advice.
- Farming Businesses: Developing new revenue streams and diversification strategies.
- Estate Managers: Acting as a specialist resource or independent sounding board.
Strategic Vision for Countryside Assets
We help you look beyond the immediate to formulate long-term plans that protect and grow your assets. Rural property is intricate and requires a vision that balances tradition with modern commercial reality. We help clients understand their assets in terms of their potential to deliver defined outcomes, working with them to formulate and deliver on medium and long-term plans.

Solving Problems, Delivering Opportunities
From compulsory purchase and compensation issues to recruitment and staffing, we handle the intricate details that keep an estate running smoothly. We apply past experience to particular challenges, whether they are people, property, or project-based.
If a project requires a wider team, we assemble and oversee the right specialists, ensuring you only ever have to deal with one trusted point of contact. If we cannot help you directly, we will know someone who can, what it should cost, and how the arrangement should work.
"We are all about you—completely independent, delivering exactly what you want through bespoke advice and dedicated support."
