Overview
The Firm
Montagu Evans is a UK property consultancy that helps clients unlock value from complexity, because that’s where the most meaningful opportunities live.
Our purpose is to bring clarity, creativity, and conviction to the complex. We are experts who collaborate to create value, not just preserve it and our team is built for impact, not oversight.
We specialise in high-value, complex assets across the property lifecycle, where political, technical or commercial challenges demand a joined-up approach.
The Team/Department
Planning is one of the largest departments at Montagu Evans and one of the biggest P&D departments operating in the UK. We have over 100 staff structured into four Groups: Housing & Land, Commercial, Historic Environment and Townscape, and Scotland. Our Scottish team comprises 10 planning and heritage professionals, and advises a wide range of private and public sector clients including many of the country's leading developers, financial institutions and landowners.
We work in the residential, wider living, retail and leisure, commercial, mixed use, and higher education sectors. Our team works closely with other Montagu Evans specialisms including advisory, market specialisms, socio-economics and strategic consulting.
