Bellis Consultancy is the natural progression from the principal’s previous involvement in construction and development with the Bellis Group, where the core success was predominantly in site assembly, acquisition, and funding.
Over the last 10 years, the principles have been involved in over £200m of commercial and residential site assembly and development projects. Having had to manage and navigate a luxury SME property development company through the difficult cycles the economy faced, with challenges such as SDLT increase, Brexit and Covid, they feel they are expertly placed to offer a ‘what to do’ and sometimes more importantly, a ‘what not to do’ guide of the trial and tribulations of the property world. It is from this wealth of experience that Bellis Consultancy derives.
