“Cala Homes Chiltern is fortunate enough to have enjoyed a first-class working relationship with Chris and the Developer Solutions Ltd (DSL) team for many years now. We have always found the reports and detail compiled by DSL to be comprehensive, honest and realistic; attributes which are essential when preparing site valuations and offers for new land opportunities. We trust DSL pricing recommendations completely and Chris is always available to chat through any areas of uncertainty or site-specific peculiarities, to ensure that no stone is left unturned. The overall service provided by DSL is excellent and we have always found the company very willing to meet our, occasionally, very tight time scales and demands.”

“Since 2008 it has been a privilege working with Chris and his teams in the preparation and design of their Price Viability Market Appraisals and Valuation Reports and to see his reports develop during my time at Linden and more recently at Baker Estates. The reports provide robust data sets in the form of an independent report to appraise opportunities, mitigate risk and ensure robust due diligence is applied at each stage of the development cycle. I have no hesitation in recommending DSL to any of my developer connections.”
