Based in Holcombe, Cornell has spent over 20 years working with complex sites, gaining hands-on experience and developing practical methods for assessing land—turning complexity into clarity for landowners.
Having chosen the Cornell group for the disposal of our works and property we are pleased to say it was the right choice as they have been very helpful with any queries we had and they are very helpful, informative, and accessible at any time for professional advice.
Harry Sanders
Land Owner
We partnered up with Cornell Group to unlock potential opportunities within our land boundaries. Three sites were identified, one being a liability for the club. Cornell provided a development solution that resolved the liability, initial capital and potential uplift for the club in the future.
Bury Golf Club
Land Owner
My experience has spanned over a number of years. Cornell has worked with focus and determination on a complex situation to achieve the required result. Calmness but relentlessness throughout the entire process, a necessary attribute in their line of business.
Lynne Bentham
Land Owner
We have been working with Jamie and the team at Cornell for many years now and have always found them to be totally professional, knowledgeable and understanding of the clients requirements throughout each and every project we have given them. I have no doubt that our business relationship will be there for many many more years to come.
Entwistle Family Investments Ltd
Land Owner
In my previous role at Bolton Council I worked with Jamie Unsworth and the Cornell Group in helping two sites which were complex land ownership issues and was also contentious through the planning process requiring collaborative work from all parties to ensure the scheme was delivered successfully.
Paul Philbin
Ex Bolton Council
Cornell spent over 4 years ‘information gathering’ and de-risking issues such as site constraints and numerous challenges to establish a workable proposal and design culminating with the submission of the successful planning application. This approach undoubtedly helped to achieve the broadly positive outcome for all stakeholders involved and the Council look forward to the completion of the development.
Adrian Robertshaw
Strategic Housing at Doncaster Council
We have worked alongside Cornell Group on a few complex sites, throughout each one, they have applied the correct due diligence on managing risk and provided development solutions to enable a successful outcome.
Peter Bojar
Developer at Great Places
I have worked with Cornell Group over years where they have helped un-lock complex land issues to enable development opportunities for my clients.
Wesley Seale
Director at Maine Wealth Ltd (Proffesional Financial Planning
Cornell’s project management and due diligence approach to manage risk, address issues arising, and to carefully explain these risks and potential solutions, as well as liaising closely with a range of council officers including myself has helped to provide a development solution which may not otherwise have come about.

Housing Commissioning Manager at Kirklees Council
What costs are involved?
Our process starts with a focused initial assessment designed to unlock your land’s potential. There’s a fee for this evaluation; however, if you are exploring a sale, the cost can often be covered by the prospective buyer we've approached—minimising your risk.
How do you support landowners who want to explore their land options?
We tailor our advice to your goals. If you’re considering a sale, we connect you with buyers and manage negotiations. For development, we provide strategic plans and professional referrals; and if you wish to retain your land, we offer planning advice to protect and enhance its value.
How do you match my land with the right opportunities?
We match your land with the right opportunities by assessing its unique features; such as location, size, planning potential, local planning conditions, and aligning these with your specific objectives. This helps us identify the best route forward for your land.
How do you evaluate my land’s potential?
We evaluate your land by thoroughly checking titles, planning constraints, access, and infrastructure. Working with trusted partners like planning consultants and architects, we craft a clear strategy that highlights the best opportunities for your land. All our findings are delivered in one concise report, giving you a confident, actionable understanding of your land’s potential.
How do I get started?
To get started, simply get in touch with some basic details about your land. We'll run some initial checks and then set up a one-to-one or online meeting to discuss your objectives, explore potential opportunities, and outline the best path forward as a potential partnership.
