Built for disciplined property investment
Vesta Urban Living is a London-based property development and acquisition business focused on planning-led, value-add residential opportunities across London and the South East.
We combine site due diligence, realistic cost planning, planning advice, broker-led funding strategy and experienced delivery partners to assess each opportunity before capital is committed.
Planning-led assessment
We assess planning risk, permitted development routes and change-of-use potential early, before assumptions are priced into a deal.
Commercial appraisal
Each opportunity is reviewed against acquisition cost, build cost, GDV, finance cost, exit strategy and investor return.
Delivery network
We work with experienced builders, brokers, solicitors, accountants, surveyors and planning consultants to support each project.
Funding-ready packs
Where appropriate, opportunities are packaged with clear assumptions, comparable evidence, risk notes and finance requirements.
We make evidence-led offers
Vesta Urban Living uses structured due diligence to assess each opportunity before submitting an offer. Our process reviews the property fundamentals, planning constraints, environmental risks, build-cost assumptions, comparable sales, local market data, finance costs and exit strategy.
The result is a clear, commercially justified offer that agents, vendors, brokers and investors can understand.
What our due diligence includes
Property fundamentals
We review floor area, site area, current use, occupancy, ownership indicators, sub-property records and available building information.
Planning and constraint review
We check key planning and land designations including conservation areas, listed building status, green belt, flood risk, environmental constraints and other site-specific risks.
Environmental and local risk checks
We assess flood, subsidence, radon, tree hazard, air quality, road noise, crime and accident data where relevant.
Financial appraisal
We model purchase price, stamp duty, legal fees, build costs, contingency, professional fees, services, finance costs, total development cost, GDV and target return.
Comparable evidence
We analyse recent nearby sold prices, price per square foot, property type, size, distance, tenure and relevance to support the valuation.
Market context
We review local market trends, national and London price movement, sales activity, rental demand and local demographic indicators.
Exit strategy
We assess whether the opportunity is more suitable for resale, refinance, rental, development or a structured investor exit.
Funding-ready due diligence
Every opportunity is assessed through a structured development appraisal before being presented to investors, brokers or lenders.
Our review typically includes:
- acquisition price and comparable evidence
- planning route and consent risk
- permitted development or change-of-use potential
- build scope and cost assumptions
- GDV evidence and exit strategy
- finance structure and sensitivity testing
- key legal, title, access and service risks
- downside case, base case and target return
This gives funding partners a clearer view of the opportunity, the assumptions behind the numbers, and the risks that need to be controlled before completion.

Each opportunity is reviewed against acquisition price, planning route, site constraints, build scope, comparable evidence, GDV assumptions, finance requirement, sensitivity risk and exit strategy.
