Acquisitions

At Cordage, we source and secure property opportunities with strong long term potential. Our approach is based on careful research, market knowledge, and a clear understanding of where value can be created.

We focus on opportunities that offer scope for improvement, development, or repositioning, from distressed assets and residential land to more complex commercial properties. Every acquisition is assessed with a practical, long term view to ensure it aligns with our strategy and delivers lasting value.

Our Approach

01 Site Identification

Cordage identifies a potential site and undertakes a high-level financial and planning appraisal to assess overall viability and merit.

02 Initial Feasibility

The site is passed to our in-house architectural team, who prepare a feasible development concept to test layout, scale, and deliverability.

03 Planning Assessment

Our in-house planning team carries out a thorough planning review of the proposed scheme, considering key factors such as: highways and access, affordable housing requirements, housing land supply and local policy compliance.

04 Formal Offer & Instruction

Cordage issues a formal offer. Upon instruction, we aim to submit the site into planning within 6–8 weeks from a standing start, including: full measured survey, appointment of all required consultants.

05 Planning & Sale Strategy

During the planning process, the sales team actively markets the opportunity, targeting a sale aligned with the anticipated planning consent. The aim is to exit as soon as possible.
