About SPG

SPG, also known as Smith Property Group, operates in the UK real estate sector, specializing in land promotion and investment. The firm's business model centers on identifying land with significant development potential and unlocking its value by securing planning permission.

SPG facilitates partnerships between landowners and investors to fund the planning application process. This strategy aims to achieve a 'planning uplift,' which is the substantial increase in land value that occurs once planning permission for development is granted. The company manages the entire lifecycle of its projects, from initial site identification and analysis through to navigating the complexities of planning approval and managing the eventual sale of the site to developers.

For investors, SPG offers a passive, asset-backed investment opportunity with projected high returns. The investment is secured against physical land, differentiating it from more speculative ventures. Project timelines are typically short- to mid-term, running between 12 and 24 months. The company positions itself as a market leader, citing a track record of delivering over £150 million in new development sites within the last two years.
