C&C sought a developer partner to deliver new build development on the historic King Edward VII Estate site in the South Downs National Park, near Midhurst. Metis Homes were chosen as development partner because of their reputation and quality of their previous developments and the product that they delivered met our expectations and was a positive addition to the overall scheme. We would willingly work with them on future schemes.

I have worked successfully with the Metis Homes, Land and Planning team on several opportunities across different local authorities in Hampshire and Sussex. Their in-house knowledge and comprehensive understanding of the complexities of planning policy, local politics and in particular the housing land supply deficit situation have won them planning on some challenging sites, especially in sensitive and rural villages.
This approach to sites, Coupled with their attitude and willingness to speculate applications at risk, culminating in the delivery of a quality end product, have resulted in land consult recommending metis homes to many of our landowner clients.

In 2016, I acted on behalf of a regional charity who were seeking to sell a development site in Dorset. Metis Homes were the underbidder and when they were asked to step up, they performed quickly, efficiently and at the financial level they had made to the landowner. Their attention to detail was excellent and due to this, there were no renegotiations or delays in the sale.
