Max, a seasoned property expert with 20 years of experience, has recently joined the team at Savills in Norwich. His impressive career has taken him to various roles, including his most recent position as Managing Director of the property division at Albanwise Wallace Estates. Now, as part of the Savills team, Max will focus on acquiring and selling development land opportunities, as well as providing valuable consultancy advice to clients across Norfolk and Suffolk. This new chapter in his career is an exciting one, and Max is eager to bring his wealth of experience to the table. With his extensive knowledge of the local market and his passion for driving growth, Max is poised to make a significant impact in his new role.
As Max settles into his new position, he’s looking forward to being part of a team that shares his values and commitment to excellence. “Savills has an outstanding reputation, and I’m thrilled to be joining a company with such a strong track record of success,” he says. “The culture here is collaborative and dynamic, and I’m excited to work with such a talented team of professionals.” Max is also eager to leverage his expertise to drive future growth and provide top-notch advice to both existing and new clients. With his finger on the pulse of the local market, Max is well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the property industry and help his clients achieve their goals. Whether it’s identifying new development opportunities or providing strategic guidance, Max is dedicated to delivering exceptional results.
The current state of the strategic land market is an interesting one, with a mix of stability and uncertainty. According to Max, the market has experienced a degree of stabilization since the beginning of the year, despite more recent economic concerns. “There’s a sense of optimism in the air, with overall sentiment remaining positive and the number of bids per site slowly increasing,” he notes. However, the shortage of land supply remains a significant challenge, driving strong competition for “oven-ready” sites that are close to existing infrastructure and have planning permission already in place. This competition is likely to continue, at least in the short to medium term, as the supply of land increases from a relatively low base. As Max explains, “While we may see more land come onto the market in certain areas, this supply is unlikely to have a significant impact on development land values in the near future.”
The team at Savills Norwich is well-positioned to navigate this complex landscape, offering a comprehensive range of development services to clients. From consultancy and advice on the sale and acquisition of development land to valuations and viability assessments, the team provides expert guidance to private clients, lenders, developers, and corporate entities. With Max on board, the team is now even stronger, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table. As Ciara Arundel, who leads the development team at Savills in Norwich, notes, “Max is a fantastic addition to our team. He has a deep understanding of the local market and a comprehensive knowledge of Norfolk and the wider region. His expertise will be a huge benefit to our clients and team members alike.” With Max’s arrival, the team is sending a clear signal about its commitment to growth and excellence.
The property industry is constantly evolving, and the team at Savills Norwich is dedicated to staying ahead of the curve. As Max explains, changes to the National Planning Policy Framework and the government’s efforts to boost housebuilding are likely to lead to more sites coming to market as the year progresses. “We expect to see an increase in planning applications, which will be driven by the need for more housing and the government’s push to address the shortage,” he says. However, the shortfall in land supply will continue to be a challenge, driving competition and making it essential for developers and investors to have access to expert advice and guidance. With Max and the team at Savills Norwich, clients can rely on a deep understanding of the local market and a commitment to delivering exceptional results.
As Max settles into his new role, he’s excited to work with clients and help them navigate the complexities of the property industry. With his extensive experience and knowledge of the local market, he’s well-equipped to provide expert guidance and advice. Whether it’s identifying new development opportunities or providing strategic guidance, Max is dedicated to delivering exceptional results and helping his clients achieve their goals. As Ciara Arundel notes, “Max’s appointment is a testament to our commitment to strengthening and growing our team in response to market forces. We’re dedicated to providing our clients with the very best service and advice, and we’re excited to have Max on board to help us achieve this goal.” With Max and the team at Savills Norwich, clients can rely on a combination of expertise, experience, and a deep understanding of the local market – the perfect combination for success in the ever-changing world of property development.
