Led by Nick Harper, former Head of Development at The Crown Estate, we provide 30+ years of expertise in land development and planning. We act as partners to landowners and investors, offering commercial, honest advice to unlock the true potential of property assets across the UK.
Your Partner in Unlocking Land Potential
At Hawkspur, we believe the best property advice comes from being a partner, not just a "hired hand." We work with landowners, investors, and property companies to navigate the complexities of development and planning. Our relationships are often inter-generational because we take the long view on every asset we manage.
Led by 30 Years of High-Level Expertise
Our Managing Director, Nick Harper FAAV MRICS, brings a unique perspective to every project. Having served as the national Head of Development and Asset Management at The Crown Estate, Nick was responsible for a 300,000-acre UK portfolio. This experience—combined with years as a partner in independent practice—allows us to understand planning and development from every angle: client, consultant, and promoter.

A Commercial Mindset with Integrity
We ask ourselves one question before giving any advice: "Would we do this if this was our money and we owned the land?" This honest, practical approach ensures our clients achieve the best possible commercial outcomes. Whether we are negotiating option agreements or managing a masterplan, we prioritise integrity and clear communication.
