Kitto use their own internal experience of the property market alongside long-standing market relationships to assist in finding and securing suitable sites.  Negotiations for site acquisition then proceed following a thorough site evaluation.

Recently, some of Kitto’s focus has been working with existing that require expansion to new premises. This has included delivering a turn-key solution for five new surgeries in the South West, each delivered on time and in budget, whilst working with the practice to obtain funding through the complex arrangements within the NHS.

Kitto are working with both a Care Home and Nursery operator, that are looking to expand in the South West.  The first scheme for the Nursery operator was completed in 2018 in Weston Super Mare.

Kitto are able to forward-fund the development when the end-user requires a lease, or deliver the project on a sale/purchase arrangement as the occupier prefers.  In any arrangement, Kitto undertakes the initial work and due diligence on a speculative basis, allowing the project to proceed without the end-user spending significant sums before a strong business case has been prepared, evaluated and approved.  Where a lease is preferred, Kitto will forward-fund the development and look to sell on to an investment company on completion of the project.

During the project delivery process, Kitto, in tandem with their consultants and supply chain, deliver a project solution that remains affordable and viable whilst ensuring every development is carefully conceived, planned and designed to maximise value.

Kitto Group provides a complete turn-key service from the very earliest concept stage, through site identification and acquisition to ‘design and build’ of the new building completed on time and within budget to high quality standards.
