Private Acquisitions
We work exclusively for you.
We identify, appraise and negotiate property aligned with your investment criteria — from openly marketed assets to opportunities sourced privately through our network.
How Private Acquisition Works
Our private acquisition service is designed to provide a focused, end-to-end search on behalf of each client.
01 — Define Your Criteria
We begin by understanding exactly what you are looking to acquire — including location, budget, property type, investment strategy and any specific requirements. This forms the basis of our search.
02 — Instruct Saint Park
Once the search criteria are agreed, we take a commitment fee to begin the acquisition process. This is typically £5,000 + VAT, although this may vary depending on the scope and complexity of the search.
03 — We Source & Present Opportunities
We search the market and our network for suitable opportunities, appraise each prospect and present those that meet your agreed criteria. Where appropriate, we also approach owners and opportunities that are not openly marketed.
04 — Successful Acquisition
On successful acquisition, our final fee becomes payable, typically 1% of the purchase price, subject to a minimum fee of £5,000 + VAT. For development land, conditional acquisitions and opportunities where Saint Park is involved in creating or securing additional value, an alternative success fee or value-uplift arrangement may be agreed at instruction.
For developers: Your Outsourced Land Manager
A dedicated acquisition solution, without the overhead of building an in-house land team.
For developers with an ongoing appetite for new sites, Saint Park acts as an extension of your business — working to an agreed acquisition mandate to proactively identify, assess and secure land and development opportunities.
From search to acquisition:
Site sourcing · Direct-to-owner approaches · Agent relationships · Initial appraisals · Offer negotiation · Pipeline management
Whether you're targeting consented sites, unconditional purchases or land subject to planning, we provide an ongoing acquisition resource tailored to your requirements.
Bespoke Acquisition Packages
Our engagements are structured around the level of acquisition support required. For ongoing mandates, this may include a monthly retainer to provide a dedicated and proactive acquisition resource, combined with success-based fees when an opportunity is successfully secured. For development land or transactions involving planning-led value creation, bespoke success or uplift-based fee arrangements can also be agreed.
