DevAssist are the only company offering property buyers bespoke reports that look to the future as well as the past and present. Their unique reports will expose if there is any potential threat – or opportunity – from development as well as identifying any existing planning applications that may affect the property.

By studying planning policy, SHLAA documents, planning data and more, they are able to advise on what is being planned or feasibly what could happen in a location. When a developer proposes land for development it will receive passionate and deep objection from locals – in almost every case the residents never saw it coming. That’s why we pre-advise where the risks are and how likely they are to be developed. DevAssist create clear, readable reports that deliver clarity and enable decision making, safe in the knowledge that the whole picture is understood.
