Perseus Land & Developments

Perseus Land & Developments Limited specialises in the development and facilitation of bespoke residential accommodation for older people, catering to both emerging and acute care needs. Their portfolio includes sheltered housing, extra care housing, and care homes. The company is led by Managing Director, Duncan Ford, who brings over 20 years of experience in the healthcare property sector, having worked with both high-end private and not-for-profit healthcare operating partners.

Duncan has a proven track record of acquiring, obtaining planning consent for, and developing over 50 care-led developments across the UK. The company excels in land acquisition, utilising a strong network of contacts and advanced land-finding technology to execute targeted site acquisition strategies, sometimes exclusively for individual operators. Perseus adopts a thorough and consultative approach to the planning system, fostering strong relationships with consultants, local planning authorities, and community stakeholders.

They actively engage with town and parish councils, staging public exhibitions and private meetings to build support for proposals, often resulting in compromises and successful planning permissions, including five planning appeals. Perseus demonstrates a willingness to acquire land and property with or without planning permission, often within tight timescales, and can manage larger development sites where care facilities are part of mixed-use schemes. They offer flexible procurement options, including bespoke leasehold and freehold 'turnkey' development solutions, as well as consented land.

Perseus is also open to joint venture development agreements, positioning themselves as a reliable purchaser or partner for healthcare operators, landowners, and property agents seeking to unlock real value.
