Growth, Development & Regeneration

Maximising current business streams and identifying new ones are essential elements of your growth strategy. Whether that means considering strategic partnerships, tenanted stock acquisition or disposal, bidding for new contracts, or increasing housing development activity, it’s never too soon to start planning.

At the same time, we have extensive experience in working with social landlords and local communities to plan and deliver comprehensive regeneration schemes that meet people’s needs and expectations, while improving the quality of existing homes and developing additional ones.

We’re well versed in helping organisations understand where the market is going and what that means for future development.

Our experience spans everything from: supporting all aspects of the merger process, to carrying out feasibility studies, researching development capacity, and from enabling regeneration of housing stock, to conducting community consultation and supporting bidders tendering for major initiatives.

Campbell Tickell has an unrivalled track record in supporting clients to realise their growth ambitions, complementing, and supporting internal resource to add significant value.

Key Services

Housing strategies

Campbell Tickell supports local authorities, combined authorities and ALMOs to create tailored housing and other related strategies. We do so by considering the specific evidence base of each organisation, as well as their ambitions, aspirations, and challenges.

Every strategy is unique and supported by robust and practical strategic solutions. The final document is a streamlined series of strategic priorities and direction of travel, underpinned by a robust evidence base, with a detailed delivery plan.

Merger and partnership support

Campbell Tickell is at the forefront of mergers between Registered Providers and has supported the formation of around 100 new organisations over the last 10 years.

In the last three years alone, we have supported Board and Executive Teams to build and execute merger strategies that have underpinned the creation of 30 new organisations. Our experience is varied, and we have worked on a diverse range of mergers of differing scales, type and complexity. Our range of expertise means that we can identify potential risks and other challenges early, deploying suitable mitigations to guarantee the best chance of a successful outcome.

We can assist your organisation with every step of the merger process, from management to facilitation, and preparation to integration.

Researching development capacity

How can your organisation achieve your housing development plans? What are the risks and pitfalls to avoid? We have advised councils and housing associations on such areas as:

Development strategies;
Site-finding and land acquisition;
Planning;
Valuation;
Funding;
Tenure mix;
Build specification;
Modern methods of construction;
Zero carbon development.

Regeneration programmes

Successful regeneration of a neighbourhood or an estate can be difficult and complex. How can we ensure we meet the reasonable expectations of the local community, hear what they have to say and keep them united, while delivering significant improvement in the quality of homes and other amenities, at the same time as providing additional homes to meet local housing need? It’s more than just building new housing – it’s about ensuring people are at the heart of community regeneration. Our support includes:

Facilitating resident engagement;
Community consultations;
Project managing regeneration schemes;
Analysing development capacity;
Carrying out feasibility studies;
Establishing joint ventures;
Selecting delivery partners;
Supporting bids for major schemes.

Stock rationalisation

Campbell Tickell is now a recognised and a highly respected player in portfolio acquisition and disposal. Our presence in this space has continued to grow and we have supported clients in the delivery of many of the largest scale transactions in the sector to date.

Our team is highly experienced, and we can support housing providers in both disposal and acquisition ambitions. We advise and assist Executive Teams in defining stock disposal strategies, and then offer support in the delivery of that strategy throughout.

We are equally adept at supporting clients on the ‘buy side’ of transactions. Our offer includes supporting and developing bidding strategies where portfolios are brought to market (including bid-price financial modelling), securing off-market transactions, as well as offering project management support to take transactions through to a successful conclusion.

In summary, we can help your organisation:
