A new land sales, development, and architecture consultancy – Mito Land – has launched in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, aiming to support SME housebuilders and landowners across the East of England and Home Counties.
Founded by Toby Lambert MRICS and Michael Margereson, the company brings together nearly 100 years of combined experience in land agency, residential development, and planning.
Lambert, a chartered surveyor with a strong background in land transactions, and Margereson, an expert in both commercial and residential planning, will be joined by design consultant Philip Ashenden MCIAT, whose 20-year career includes work with major UK housebuilders.
Mito Land’s launch coincides with the UK Government’s target of delivering 1.5 million new homes before the next general election, alongside increased support for SME developers through initiatives such as the Home Building Fund Extension and Greener Homes Alliance loans.
SUSTAINABLE SCHEMES
The firm will offer strategic consultancy on land acquisition, planning, and development, with an emphasis on delivering sustainable, design-led schemes. Initially, Mito Land will operate across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Lambert says: “We look forward to working with landowners across the Home Counties, using our knowledge and connections to navigate the complex land sales process, to determine the most suitable route to a sale and unlock the full value of each piece of land.
“In the context of the government’s growth agenda, the opportunity to realise land value has never been greater.”
STRATEGIC APPROACH
And Margereson adds: “For developers we offer a strategic approach to land acquisition, planning and development services, delivering innovative and sustainable solutions that maximise land potential. We will help simplify the ever-changing complexities of achieving planning consent, providing a tailored and rapid route to a successful completed development.
“With the government pledging a commitment to housebuilders of all sizes, we expect to see more opportunities for smaller, well-planned residential sites, especially in the Home Counties and East of England where demand is very high.”
