Whether it’s an abandoned country estate, vacant mill building or a redundant Victorian hospital, we relish the challenge of finding new uses for the glorious buildings of the past

The P J Livesey Group have a new purchasing perspective.....

Whether you have a site for bespoke new build, a part finished development, a conversion opportunity or a mix of all three, we have an immediate requirement for new sites.

Well known for purchasing and redeveloping period and listed buildings, many people forget that our new build portfolio is equally as diverse and impressive. Over many years we have developed bespoke new build properties to the same exacting standards as our conversion projects. Developments such as Ringley Square in Lancashire through to Read Mills in Norwich highlight the extent and quality of our portfolio.

We are keen to acquire new development sites for immediate or strategic purposes. As a private company we have the flexibility to purchase unconditionally, conditionally or in a joint venture, and we can act very quickly if required. Perhaps you have a stalled development site that requires a respected and established developer to deliver the final properties?

Our strength is residential development, although a number of our projects contain mixed uses such as health and leisure clubs, offices and restaurant space. We have a proven track record in identifying the most appropriate use for a site, designing each scheme from scratch with no standard house types or solutions. Our aim is to create sustainable developments in which people want to live, and we work with owners, local authorities and communities to secure planning for new uses.

Partnerships are a key cornerstone in our success, and over the years we have formed excellent relationships with local authorities, conservation groups such as English Heritage and the Victorian Society, and most major national house builders.

Our approach is simple - we consider every site on merit and we have no fixed formula for acquisition. This provides us with the flexibility to find potential in many sites that other developers just won’t see.
