We don’t believe in the typical consultant clichés. At Hugh Norton Chartered Surveyors, we combine deep market insight with a hands-on, strategic approach to help you navigate the complexities of the UK property market. Whether you are a landowner looking to promote a site or an investor seeking to mitigate risk, we align with your vision to drive results that stand the test of time.

Strategic Development & Land Promotion in the Midlands

Based in Leicestershire, we act as a niche development partner for landowners and investors across the Midlands. Our expertise spans residential developments and conversions, providing the vital viability and planning advice required to identify and secure profitable opportunities.

We offer a comprehensive service that bridges the gap between potential and delivery:

• Site Identification: Linking potential sites to the most appropriate developers.
• Negotiation: Securing favourable terms for option and promotion agreements.
• Strategic Monitoring: Active land monitoring as it moves through the planning process, including SHLAA assessments.
• Disposal: Managing the eventual site sale to maximise your return.

Your Shield in Compulsory Purchase & Compensation

Compulsory purchase of land is complex and frequently contentious. We provide specialist, tenacious representation for landowners and occupiers affected by infrastructure schemes. Our role is simple: to protect your interests and secure the maximum fair compensation you are entitled to.

"We recognise that the outcome is the key measure of our success. We structure bespoke strategies to achieve your specific objectives, no matter how challenging the circumstances."

We guide you through every stage, from initial statutory notices and objections to claim preparation and Expert Witness representation at Tribunals or Public Inquiries.

Professional Rural Consultancy & RICS Valuations

Our roots in the Midlands allow us to provide a robust rural consultancy service. We understand the unique pressures facing rural estates and businesses today. From managing landlord and tenant disputes to advising on telecoms and utility compensation, we ensure your assets are protected and their value is enhanced.

All our valuation work is grounded in analytical rigour. We provide formal RICS-compliant Red Book valuations for financial reporting, taxation, and strategic planning, ensuring you have a clear, commercially driven understanding of your property assets.
