Find land and buildingsfor your development.
Rivermark finds development sites and checks access, planning context and ownership information.
How we help.
We find and compare sites across your target area using the access, size and use requirements you set. We record planning and ownership sources, explain why sites fit or fall short and contact owners about the options you select.
Property and land searchWhat matters at the property.
- Development use, target authorities and minimum gross and developable area.
- Access geometry, frontage, highway context and servicing.
- Current use, occupation, buildings and relocation issues.
- Local-plan status, planning history and nearby constraints.
- Flood mapping, surface water, drainage and topography.
- Habitats, trees and biodiversity net gain questions in England.
- Registered title information, owner entity and the route for a direct approach.
What Rivermark checks
- Mapped longlist with site boundary and source date.
- Planning, policy, flood and environmental links.
- Ownership sources and any title questions for your solicitor.
- How each site meets or falls short of the search requirements.
- Owner responses to the approaches you agree.
More on the property requirements
A developer search is defined by the sites it rejects as much as the sites it keeps. Minimum frontage, access, existing use, policy, flood risk, utilities and owner control need to be recorded consistently across the target area.
Rivermark builds that longlist, keeps the source and rejection reason, and separates ownership clues from a verified title. The development team chooses which sites deserve planning, design and appraisal work before an owner approach.
- A red-line area is not the same as developable area.
- Ownership clues from company records or mapping do not prove title.
- Policy and planning history do not replace an appraisal or pre-application advice.
Tell us the essentials.
Share what you know so far. We can discuss the remaining details.
- Use, geography and site-size range.
- Access, frontage and constraint filters.
- Land-control or acquisition preference.
- Known sites and previous approaches.
- Who will choose sites and agree owner approaches.
Common questions.
Can you retain rejected sites?
Yes. Each rejection can keep a short reason so a changed search does not repeat the same work.
Do you contact owners during the first screen?
No. The developer reviews the evidence and selects the sites before Rivermark makes a named approach.
Do you provide a development appraisal?
No. Rivermark prepares the site evidence and contact route for the developer's planning, design, valuation and legal team.
