nice to meet you

I am dorian Zhuja

I dived into the world of property development in early 2023. However, I had always been involved in construction in some way prior. My father had been delivering high-quality refurbishments and extensions for clients for around 2 decades. I came along with the idea of building out our own projects, and not standard refurbishments but ground-up developments! Before proposing the idea, I studied all the relevant literature around property developments and raising finance. It was then time to put it into action. Since, we’ve been building new build houses as our primary focus. I oversee the entire process, from site finding to practical completion. In early 2025, I came up with the idea for Saint Park. A company dedicated to seeking new development opportunities. We also help others get their developments going with advice or project delivery.

Case Studies

Case Studies

  • PURCHASE DECISION = £190K AT STAKE

    The developer needed to confirm the values, and we did just that. Considering the financial cost element played a major role, the deal almost worked… We suggested circa £140,000 would make it viable. Turns out, £150,000 was later accepted, and the developer completed on it. We then built-out the project with them, which completed in Q3 2025.

  • PLANNING RESUBMISSION = £100K+ ADDITIONAL PROFIT

    We advised that a new application to extend the existing property and convert it into two large flats would further increase the profitability of the proposed development. The extra cost to implement this was near to £150,000, but the value added meant the owner would receive over £100,000 in additional profit!

  • PLANNING STRATEGY = £200K+ BETTER OFF

    We had picked up that the purchase price was over £200,000 less than the price point that made it a financially viable project. However, this is because planning permission had lapsed and the price reflected this. We oversaw the planning process, selecting the appropriate architects, and re-obtained planning permission.

  • PROJECT OVERSIGHT = £25K+ SAVED

    We procured a soil survey, obtaining a geotechnical report that our appointed structural engineer reviewed. This confirmed our recommendation of a strip foundation instead of pile and beam foundation was appropriate considering ground conditions. The outcome? Over £25,000 saved in construction costs.

  • We'll Help you achieve A Successful Outcome

    We take a developer-led approach in our work, meaning viability, efficiency, and profitability are our key considerations.

  • We are developers keen on working with landowners to unlock value in their land. We are then able to deliver more housing. We also help other developers by providing project delivery services in addition to advisory and support.

  • We don’t just advise landowners we partner with you. Our approach combines real-world property development experience with a deep understanding of feasibility and deliverability, ensuring our advice directly translates into measurable results. We’re also friendly and up front. Look, we’re here to provide value. We know what works, how to do it and we even offer partnerships with no cost to you.

  • We do. If you need targeted advice for a specific challenge, you can book a single high-value strategy call. Simply contact us so we can understand your needs.

  • We take a developer-led approach. This means that we understand the work required to make a development feasible and deliverable. We work with professionals in the process. There isn’t a specific institution to verify a developers capability, but the work speaks for itself. We’ve built one of the most unique homes in England. In addition to that, we are willing to invite clients to see our ongoing projects. Plus, we are happy to cover the costs incurred in verifying the information given depending on the request. For example, if we’ve given you an estimate on the existing value of a property, if you are unsure on our valuation we can cover the cost of a RICS chartered surveyor confirming it. The cost in this situation will only be covered by us if the landowner moves forward with our proposal, such as a land promotion agreement, and also if the result is not within the estimate we gave. If the estimate given by the RICS chartered surveyor is different to what we suggested, we will revisit our offer. This case is unlikely but helps validate our input.

  • Simply contact us via our website or social channels. We’ll assess your needs and outline a tailored plan.

  • This depends on the context. For example, we appraised a site that worked at the asking price of £150,000. This had planning for a single dwelling. So, who made the gain here? The landowner made an additional £150,000 for the end of their garden they weren’t using. Also, the developer is set to earn a six-figure profit on the project. The landowner made £150,000 because of the location and size of the approval. A more sought-after area and a larger development would provide a bigger return. The developer in this instance, they earn more by keeping costs as low as possible and providing a quality finished home. There are various scenarios. Developments can be profitable for everyone involved. If a site doesn’t work financially or is ‘maxed out’ in terms of development, we’ll waste no time and tell you.
