ABOUT

Monarch Consultancy was founded by Mike Hollands (BA Hons), a property professional with over a decade of experience across residential development, land strategy and property investment.

Over the past ten years Mike has been involved in the delivery of more than 200 homes across a range of projects including new build developments, large-scale renovations, redevelopment schemes and planning-led opportunities. Through this experience he developed a deep understanding of how value is created within the property lifecycle, from land acquisition and planning through to development delivery and investment strategy.

During this time it became clear that many investors seeking to enter the property market had capital available but lacked the strategic guidance and experienced representation required to deploy it effectively into development opportunities.

At the same time, private clients undertaking residential projects were often navigating a complex process involving architects, planners, consultants and contractors without a single experienced advisor acting solely in their interests.

Monarch Consultancy was established to address this gap.

Today Monarch works alongside investors, private clients and individuals as a strategic advisor, helping them identify opportunities, structure projects and oversee the development process with a clear focus on maximising value while managing risk.

WHO WE WORK WITH

INVESTORS

We work with investors, family offices and development partners seeking exposure to property development opportunities.

PRIVATE CLIENTS

We work with private clients who want to create or transform their own home but require experienced guidance to manage the process.

INDIVIDUALS

We work with individuals that are interested in entering the property sector but require support and strategic direction.

EXPERIENCE ACROSS THE DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE

Property development requires a comprehensive understanding of the disciplines that influence how value is created within real estate. This includes land identification, acquisition strategy, planning expertise, development feasibility, project delivery and ultimately the successful disposal or long-term management of completed assets.

Mike has personally led the process from the earliest stages of site identification through to planning strategy, coordinating professional teams, overseeing development delivery and managing the final sale or handover of completed schemes.

This hands-on experience across the entire development lifecycle provides Monarch Consultancy with a unique perspective when advising clients. Rather than focusing on a single stage of the process, Monarch understands how each element of development interacts with the next, allowing opportunities to be approached strategically from the outset with a clear understanding of both risk and potential return.

OUR KEY SERVICES

SITE IDENTIFICATION

Identifying and securing property or land opportunities for investors or private clients, including development sites, redevelopment opportunities and residential plots.

PLANNING STRATEGY

Managing the planning process from initial feasibility and design through to securing planning permission for residential or multi-unit development schemes.

DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT

Providing independent oversight of the development process, coordinating consultants and contractors and managing projects through to completion.

WORKING WITH INVESTORS

For investors seeking exposure to property development opportunities, Monarch acts as a strategic partner responsible for identifying opportunities, structuring projects and managing the development process on behalf of the investor.

This typically begins with identifying suitable sites where value can be created through redevelopment, planning uplift or repositioning. Once an opportunity has been secured, Monarch guides the project through planning strategy and development delivery, coordinating the professional team required to bring the project forward while maintaining oversight throughout the process.

By managing each stage of the development lifecycle, from opportunity identification and acquisition through planning and construction to final disposal, Monarch enables investors to deploy capital into property with a clear strategy and experienced guidance focused on maximising returns.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY

Providing strategic advice to investors and property owners on development opportunities, land potential and capital deployment within the property sector.

JOINT VENTURE PARTNERSHIPS

Working with landowners or investors to structure development partnerships that maximise the value of land or development opportunities.

CLIENT AGENT

Providing ongoing advice and oversight for private clients, assisting with maintenance, improvements, estate management and future property acquisitions.

SUPPORTING PRIVATE CLIENTS

For private clients undertaking residential projects, Monarch acts as a trusted representative throughout what can often be a complex and time-intensive process.

Many private clients wish to build a new home, redevelop an existing property or undertake a significant renovation but lack the experience required to navigate planning, consultants, contractors and project delivery. Monarch provides a central point of coordination, sitting between the client and the wider development team to guide the process and ensure the client’s interests remain protected.

From identifying suitable properties or plots to planning applications and construction oversight, Monarch provides experienced guidance throughout the entire project, allowing clients to approach residential development with confidence and clarity.

MENTORING INDIVIDUALS

Monarch also works with individuals looking to enter the property industry for the first time, providing guidance on how to approach property investment and development strategically.

Many individuals are interested in property but are unsure how to begin or which strategy best suits their financial position, experience and long-term objectives. Drawing on practical experience across development, renovation and investment projects, Monarch helps clients identify suitable opportunities, understand the development process and build the knowledge required to pursue property projects with greater confidence.

Through mentoring, strategic guidance and practical insight, Monarch helps individuals approach the property sector with a clearer understanding of how successful projects are identified, structured and delivered.
