UK Enterprise Awards 2024

Family is the defining element of Bedford’s Taylor Land Limited, a leading land development agency that specialises in both the acquisition and sale of development land of all types and across all sectors.. Established in 2010 by the late David Taylor, a well-known and highly respected industry figure, it is the mission of the agency to carry on his legacy by demonstrating excellence at every turn. MD Jon Taylor is on hand for more. Best Family-Run Land & Property Agency 2024 - Home Counties & UK Enterprise Client Service Excellence Award 2024 Taylor Land Limited Over the past 14 years, Taylor Land Limited has kept the family values that serve as the business’ cornerstones intact, extending these to its clients so as to offer them a tailored service that reflects their unique requirements, preferences, and personalities all rolled into one. Such a commitment has seen lasting partnerships forged with an array of local and national developers, many of which are the country’s leading homebuilders, such as David Wilson Homes, Cala Homes, Hayfield Homes, Vistry Homes, and Bloor Homes. With two generations of the Taylor family working across the business, three prior to David’s unfortunate passing, there is something extra special running throughout Taylor Land that lends itself to working collaboratively to achieve shared goals. Of course, being a Taylor is no prerequisite, and team members such as Yourgos Alexander, the firm’s Land Director, complement the skills of Jon and co. nicely, with the former’s highly tuned technical abilities learnt whilst working for developers blending with the latter’s salesman prowess to produce outstanding results for clients. A synergy such as the one that exists between Taylor Land’s team members is vital for driving success in this highly competitive industry. Commenting further on what sets the agency apart in this space, Jon tells us, “we invest in industry-leading technology that helps us identify and analyse viable land opportunities. This, combined with an extensive contact list of retained homebuilders (both large and small), is an important factor in us securing a steady flow of deals.” Land agency is a sector that can feel a lot like a minefield, but the trust and discretion embodied by the team at Taylor Land make this company the go-to option every time, a provider with the right knowledge and the necessary expertise to operate transparently in a bustling and dynamic industry landscape. In fact, it is largely thanks to this unique knowhow that the team here are also able to offer full-service land and new home solutions for homebuilders, guiding a client across the entire process from acquisition through to final sale. On the back of the UK’s current financial situation, the land and planning industries have been hit particularly hard and are on the receiving end of rocketing building and interest costs along with a planning system that Jon himself describes as “broken.” The knock-on effect has meant that more sites are coming to market either partially built or with unrealistically high pricing expectations due to money having already expended. This has been the case for a number of years now, particularly since the pandemic, but things are certainly starting to look up. Jon explains, “partly due to the UK’s housing crisis, we are seeing the red tape around the development of brownfield sites loosening. This means that there are more people looking to sell their commercial assets or attempting to gain planning permission to change to residential.” With the UK having recently welcomed a new government into the fold, Jon and the team are keeping their fingers crossed that its promises will be kept concerning the relaxing of greenbelt regulations and planning reforms, so that more houses may be built. Looking ahead to the rest of 2024 and beyond, Taylor Land is excited to have a number of incredibly exciting land parcels which they will be bringing to mark shortly, some of which are the result of deals that have been years in the making. On these pieces of land will soon stand fantastic, affordable homes that will not only boost the local area but will also help the UK to tackle the aforementioned ongoing housing crisis. There are other expansion plans in the pipeline too, and whilst Jon is sworn to secrecy, he assures us that great things are on the horizon. A proud family-run company comprised of consummate residential development and property investment experts, all of whom give their everything in pursuit of client satisfaction, Taylor Land Limited is more than deserving of this duo of awards celebrating its distinction in this space.
