About the Role

Our Land Buyers play a critical role in the overall success of the business, and we’ll ensure you have all the tools needed to be successful. You can expect to be trusted, respected, and supported in your career with us.

Our in-house team of experts, including Architects, Planners, Technical, Legal, Commercial, and Construction teams, enable you to create offers efficiently and effectively, drawing from their wealth of experience and specialist knowledge. Our colleagues, including Senior Management, are very much land-focused and work together towards our aligned goals.

This is a fast-moving and comprehensive role, responsible for the full land buying lifecycle:

1. Investigating opportunities through an extensive network of contacts
2. Identifying sites through targeted marketing efforts
3. Conducting desktop research, data analysis, and utilising Land Insight
4. Visiting target towns in person to assess sites firsthand
5. Carrying out site appraisals, creating reports, and proposals
6. Managing offers and negotiations

You will work with your Land Director and team to help formulate the land acquisition strategy for the division.

About You

We seek motivated, ambitious, and proactive individuals with a genuine passion for land acquisition and development. You should be eager to build your skills, knowledge, and experience.

Previous land buying experience within the property sector is preferred but not essential; successful candidates have come from commercial, retail, hospitality sectors, or property and land agencies.

All team members share a passion for their work, dedication, self-motivation, and a hunger for success. Support from our Executive Directors is strong in securing quality sites for our developments.

You must be confident and competent drivers, with a valid UK driver’s licence, as a significant portion of your time will be spent out of the office.

• OTE of £80,000 for our Land Buyers
• An attractive commission scheme with bonuses for enhanced deals, paid upon exchange, plus team bonuses
• Competitive basic salary reviewed annually
