Development underwriting, rebuilt
SiteDeck analyses planning feasibility, build costs, rental demand, refinance potential, and project-level IRR across UK secondary cities — in one view. No spreadsheet needed.
You need a planning consultant to tell you what's permissible. A quantity surveyor for build costs. A valuation surveyor for exit value. A credit analyst for refinancing potential. And a developer who's done this before to tie it all together.
Most deals fail not because the opportunity isn't real — but because no one has the full picture in one place.
Secondary city property is misunderstood by London-centric investors. Underutilised retail is dismissed as dead. Former banks are torn down when they should be converted. Obsolete offices sit vacant while housing demand is acute.
The pricing gap exists precisely because the analysis hasn't been done.
Former banks, vacant offices, underutilised retail, light industrial, mixed-use high street. SiteDeck scans for properties where market pricing undervalues redevelopment potential.
Permitted development eligibility. Local authority policy. Nearby approved applications. NPPF compliance. Demographic trends. Transport investment signals. All synthesised into a planning probability score.
Build and professional costs. Optimal unit mix or use case. Stabilised rental income. Refinance valuation. Downside and upside scenarios. Project-level IRR. Debt and refinancing assumptions.
Execution risks flagged. Alternative development strategies compared. Highest and best use determined. Acquisition attractiveness scored. Deal memo generated — ready to take to a lender or joint venture partner.
High street footprint, solid structure, planning histories. Prime for conversion to apartments, serviced accommodation, or mixed-use.
Out-of-cycle buildings in towns undergoing structural change. HMO, co-living, standard residential — depending on location and demand.
Empty high street units, tired shopping parades, retail warehouses. Where other investors see decline, SiteDeck sees densification potential.
Low-rise commercial units in transitional zones. Often PD-eligible. High residual site value once freed from industrial use.
Fragmented ownership, inconsistent tenants, obsolescent layouts. Sites where assembled ownership unlocks material value.
Inefficient commercial buildings in areas of structural demand change. Often priced for continuing decline. SiteDeck prices for the recovery.
Secondary cities, commuter towns, and regeneration corridors where market pricing misunderstands planning potential and financing structures create asymmetric upside.
£3B redevelopment cash. 15 minutes to London Paddington. Elizabeth Line. Strong refinance potential post-development.
Chronic undersupply. Active Local Plan delivering thousands of new homes. Commercial space pipeline creating mixed-use potential.
£200M regeneration. £135M Wigan Galleries scheme. Strong rental demand from Manchester/Liverpool commuters.
Multi-billion infrastructure programme. £320K average new-build. Excellent rail to London and the Midlands.
Brownfield funding allocation. Levelling Up investment. HS2 rail improvements cutting Sheffield-London to 87 minutes.
Airport expansion. Town-centre regeneration. East West Rail. Low acquisition cost, strong commuter base to London.
"The market prices for decline.
We price for what comes next."
