Landowner Advocate — Get the Best Deal When a Developer Approaches You | NSW, VIC & QLD

Your landowner advocate

Approached by a developer?
Know what your land is really worth.

When a developer comes knocking, the first offer is rarely the full picture. We work alongside you, the landowner, so you understand the true potential of your land before you sign anything, and negotiate from a position of knowledge rather than hope.

The risk

Don't leave money on the table.

Developers negotiate land deals for a living. You may do it once. That imbalance is exactly where value quietly slips away, in the structure of the deal, the conditions attached, and the things left unsaid.

We sit on your side of the table. With a planning and development background, we can see what your site could become, what a developer sees in it, and the gap between the two. That gap is your leverage.

1
Understand your land's potential
An independent read on what your site can realistically yield under the planning controls, before you respond to any offer.
2
Test the offer on the table
We assess whether the price, structure and conditions reflect fair value, or whether there is more to unlock.
3
Support your negotiations
We work in the background, giving you the strategy, numbers and confidence to do the deal yourself, from option agreements to sale terms, with your interests in front at every step.
4
Stay independent and conflict-free
We act for you alone. We are not introducing you to a buyer or taking a cut from the other side.

Common questions

Landowner questions, answered.

If a developer has approached you about your land, these are the questions we hear most. Get independent advice before you reply to any offer.

A developer has approached me about my land. What should I do first?

Before you reply to the offer, get independent advice. When you engage Periscopa, we represent the landowner only. For the duration of the negotiation, we act solely in your interest, with no conflicting role on the other side of the table. We assess what your land is really worth, review the developer's offer and deal structure, and help you negotiate from a position of knowledge rather than accepting the first number on the table.

How do I know what my land is worth to a developer?

We start with a highest and best use review, which is an independent read on what your site could realistically yield under the planning controls. We then compare what a developer sees in your land against the offer made, so you understand the true potential before you sign anything. That gap between the offer and the real value is your leverage.

How do you help landowners get the best deal from a developer?

Periscopa sits on your side of the table. We test the offer's price, structure and conditions. We advise on option agreements, put and call options, staged settlements and planning conditions.

Are you independent, or do you take a cut from the developer?

On your matter, we act for the landowner alone. We are not introducing you to a buyer and we do not take a cut from the other side. As an independent landowner advocate, our only job is to protect your value and your interests in the deal.
