A field worth £200,000 can be worth £1.4 million once it has planning permission. We teach you to find sites like it, pay for the whole application, and share what it's worth 50/50.
A field without planning permission is farmland. The same field with permission for homes is a development site worth up to 10x as much. Nothing is built. Only the paper changes. We teach you to find land with potential, we fund the whole project, and we share the profit 50/50.

Behind a large house, with room for four new homes. We found it off-market on Searchland and offered the owner 20% above market price.
An option agreement fixes the price for a set period and gives us the right, not the obligation, to buy. Every pound planning adds from here is uplift.
Architect, surveys, consultants and the application itself. Funded by LandCapital in full. If the council says no, the loss is ours.
Same land, same soil, same day. With consent for four homes, a developer will pay £645,000 for it.
We sell the site to a local developer. Our planning costs come back first, then the rest is split down the middle.
A real LandCapital appraisal, visualised. Illustrative, not a forecast.
One short email a day from Mads: how to spot a site, read the planning map, write to a landowner and run the numbers.

The team and the capital
The profit is shared 50/50. If planning is refused, the loss is ours, not yours.
On one of our recent three-home sites, planning cost £48,000 in fees and reports, paid up front and gone if the council had said no. In a LandCapital partnership you pay for your membership, never for the deal: no land, legals or planning costs, and no personal guarantee.
Founder · Investment
Over £150 million of completed projects, from Mayfair penthouses to international redevelopments, and a career shaped as much by the 2008 crash as by what followed.
He started in 2005 as an estate agent with no capital, writing 200 letters in one weekend. Ten owners replied; two sold. He backs every partner site LandCapital approves.
Co-founder · Sourcing and operations
Four years building the off-market pipelines some of the UK's biggest developers depend on, and more than 20 years investing in property himself, across England and South Africa.
He runs the sourcing strategy and the systems partners use to find the sites everyone else walks past.
Mads and the LC team have been genuinely transformational — their expertise and support completely changed how I identify and unlock high-value land opportunities.
Mads and Chris put in real hours to help every one of us. I've learned a huge amount and have every intention of sticking with them long-term.
I'd looked at three other programmes before this one. Nothing else came close on substance.
Mads helped me start my own venture alongside my full-time job. He's always been there whenever I've needed guidance, without exception.
Went in sceptical, came out with an actual site under offer. Didn't expect that so quickly.
Clear from day one exactly what was expected of me. No confusion, no wasted calls.
The kind of straight-talking advice you don't get from most people in this space.

A few hours a week, alongside your job. Scroll through the six stages to see what you do, what our team does, and what you have at the end of each one.
You're in. Within 48 hours you have Searchland Pro, the course and a plan for where to look.
Learn where the profit sits, find sites live on Searchland instead of refreshing Rightmove, and appraise one in an evening rather than a fortnight.
One reply is all it takes. You tie the site up on an option, without tying up capital, and you're never on the call alone.
On one of our recent three-home sites, the application cost £48,000, gone if the council had said no. We pay for all of it.
We sell the consented site to a developer. Our planning costs are repaid first, then the profit is split down the middle.
The membership gets you started, but our real upside is in the deals we do together. So the point is to do many of them, year after year, and for you to build a proper business on the back of it.
Typical timings. Every site and council is different, and planning is never guaranteed.

Your background, your area, and what a first deal could be worth.
If it's right for you, we'll show you how to start. If not, we'll say so.
No. The site is secured on an option agreement, which gives the right to buy at a fixed price for a fixed period. When the site sells with planning, the developer completes the purchase and the landowner is paid from that sale.
The option isn't exercised and the landowner keeps the land. The money spent on the application is LandCapital's, not yours, which is also why every site goes through our own review before we fund it.
When the consented site sells, our planning costs are repaid first and the remainder is split 50/50. For a first deal we usually recommend selling with planning: no build risk and no development finance.
You don't need experience. Most partners join with no background in property, and we teach the process from scratch. Membership is a paid programme, and we'll take you through the cost on the call. Once we agree to fund a site, LandCapital provides 100% of the capital the deal needs.
Most partners do this alongside a full-time job, a few hours a week. Your work is finding sites and talking to landowners; everything that needs a professional is done by our team.
Once we've invested in a site with you, your membership renews free of charge for as long as that joint venture is live.
