Howie Property Ltd

Specialist Advisors in Roadside and Healthcare Property

Since 2015, Howie Property has operated as a niche consultancy dedicated to the fast-moving worlds of roadside retail, EV charging, and care home development. Led by Dan Howie MRICS, we bridge the gap between landlords, developers, and national operators to unlock value in complex sites.

We don't just list properties; we assemble sites, source off-market opportunities, and navigate the specific requirements of modern occupiers. Whether you are a retailer looking for the perfect drive-thru spot or a developer seeking a high-yield investment, we provide the personal touch and technical expertise that larger firms often miss.

Why Leading Brands Trust Our Expertise

Our track record speaks for itself. We have successfully secured sites and negotiated leases for some of the UK’s most recognisable names across several specialist sectors:

• Roadside & Drive-Thru Retail: We have a deep understanding of what makes a site work for major operators. Our recent highlights include securing Starbucks lettings in Wakefield, Stockton-on-Tees, and Grantham, often managing the process from initial introduction through to planning and completion.
• EV Charging Infrastructure: We have been active in this fledgling sector since 2019. We work with the UK's largest operators, including Gridserve, Ionity, and BP Pulse, to deliver high-power charging hubs nationwide.
• Care & Retirement Living: We source 1–5 acre plots for major providers. A recent standout project involved sourcing and acquiring a 1.5-acre site for a 66-bed care home for LNT Care Developments in Leicestershire.

Our Core Capabilities at a Glance

Proactive Sourcing and Off-Market Opportunities

We pride ourselves on being proactive rather than reactive. By using the latest market software and leveraging a vast national network of contacts, we often unearth opportunities before they ever hit the open market. This is particularly valuable for our clients in the care and retirement sectors where competition for prime land is fierce.
