Chartered Surveyors and Commercial Property Advisors

Development

We can assist with the marketing for sale or the purchase of land and/or buildings with development potential. This is across all sectors of the market including commercial and residential.

Alternatively, we can assist with undertaking appraisals of sites to identify the optimum use for a site or establish the viability of development for any particular use. Often this is as part of the planning process.

Alongside Miller Commercial we advise residential and commercial developers, lenders, registered providers, landowners and potential purchasers. Our in-house Building Surveyors can also oversee projects to ensure that they are delivered in a timely manner and on budget.

Please do not hesitate to call us on 01752 222135 should you have a site that you would like to talk about.

What our clients say

  • “Miller Commercial have acted for us for over a decade in various capacities including undertaking valuation work and development appraisals together with acquisition work and property management. We have always found them to be approachable and to provide innovative solutions.”
    - Stuart Ivall, Director, RM Developments Ltd
  • “I found all the staff at Miller Commercial very professional and enthusiastic. We were very lucky to have them dealing with the sale of our restaurant guiding and advising us every step of the way. I felt I was receiving personal attention at all times, there was always someone at the end of the phone should I need to speak somebody. Thank you to everyone for giving a first class service and should I need a commercial agent again I would have no hesitation in contacting Miller Commercial.”
    - Owner, On Shore, St Ives
  • “I am so, so grateful to Susanna Sawle for expediting my Valuation. In addition it’s a huge relief that the valuation came out at the price it did. It means so much to us that we can now progress and move forwards for both our business and family life. My sincere thanks.”
    - Emma Caddis, Business Development Manager, Unlocking Potential
  • “We dealt with Miller Commercial to sell our restaurant and their attention with this difficult sale was amazing; 6 failed sales which were all for odd reasons, but they never gave up and worked really hard to secure a good sale in the end. I would always use Miller Commercial again for sure.”
    - Kimberley Spence
  • “As the the lease was coming to an end I was naturally concerned that the vacating tenant kept to the lease agreement in making good any repairs that were deemed necessary. The Management Surveyor handled all this very professionally, bringing in third party experts where necessary to provide evidence to the tenant and ensuring that the tenant was fully aware of their responsibilities. Throughout the process they gave me regular updates, keeping me informed of progress right through to a satisfactory conclusion.”
    - Property Management Client
  • “Graham Timmins guided us through the complexities of buying our campsite, which involved liaising with our financial Broker, solicitor and our Accountant and helped us to realise our dream of moving to the Coast. We would recommend Graham and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a business.”
    - Purchasers of Treveague Campsite, Gorran
  • “We have bought and sold a business through Miller Commercial and found the help and advice whilst buying invaluable. When we decided to sell the business, we automatically called them again. The Business Transfer agent came out to value the business, take photographs and gather information and it was put onto the market. We were kept informed of all interested purchasers. A potential buyer was found relatively quickly and they kept the sale progressing and again kept us in the loop at all times. Generally we were delighted with the service offered and we would almost certainly use Miller Commercial again. ”
    - Debbie and Adrian Bird
