In this episode, I visit property developer James Quinn, Founder of Foras Group, on site at Broseley Grove in Sydenham to see how an overlooked backland site has been transformed into a stunning development of five new homes with an estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of £4.25 million. What makes this development even more interesting is how the opportunity was found. James' joint venture partner spotted what appeared to be a simple Gumtree listing advertising garages for rent. After recognising the site's development potential, they approached the owners, secured the land through an option agreement, and turned a collection of old garages into a high value new build residential development. During the site tour, James explains the entire development process, from acquiring the site through to construction. We discuss the challenges he faced in planning, building on a constrained backland site with limited access, how the team overcame logistical issues, and the lessons learned throughout the project. James also shares his personal journey into property development, how he built Foras Group, and what it takes to identify and deliver profitable development opportunities in today's market.
