Mark Hewett

Founder & Principal

Mark has spent three decades in strategic land, estate agency and property development. He began as a land buyer, became a land director, and went on to lead major land acquisitions across southern England for Taylor Woodrow. He founded Intelligent Land to do strategic land properly: senior judgement across the whole life of a site, working to the owner’s exit, not the adviser’s fee.

His view is simple. Permission is the start, not the finish. Most land is worth more than its owner is being told. The Land Value Accelerator is how he proves it.

§03What we hold ourselves toFive rules
  1. 01We tell you what your land is worth as drawn, and what one change makes it worth. Three lines, on page one.
  2. 02Two answers every time: the one you can have without a new application, and the bigger one that needs it.
  3. 03Every number carries its source and its confidence. We say which figures are ours, which are the council’s and which are the market’s.
  4. 04Market evidence first, valuation second. Never the other way round.
  5. 05Written in plain English. If a landowner cannot follow it on first read, we have failed.
§04In their wordsOn the record
“Thorough and carefully researched. Presented with authority and credibility, it was central to setting out a realistic picture of the five-year housing land supply.”
Peter Harrison QCBarrister, on Mark’s evidence at the Picket Piece inquiry, Test Valley
“Mark and I worked together for some years; in fact he worked for me when he first joined the development industry. He is particularly talented at spotting development angles that can add significant value to projects. I would expect anyone considering developing their land would find his counsel extremely enlightening.”
Keith SimmonsManaging Director, Taylor Wimpey
“Intelligent Land take a complex and often confusing subject and apply a structure and process that delivers clarity. They are innovative in their approach and forensic in their investigations, and that makes a tremendous difference when compared to traditional planning analysis.”
David BrocklebankExecutive Managing Director, Wates Developments
