Local, Regional and Devolved Government
DVS has a wealth of experience of working closely with regional development agencies, local authority bodies, and the Scottish Government and Welsh Assembly Government. Our expertise directly informs regional and local policy decisions, and economic and social regeneration initiatives.
We have unrivalled property information and can provide detailed analysis and property market reports, for example on the impact of property speculation in Pathfinder areas, on the value and use of planning obligations in Wales, and on strategic community-based joint venture developments (HUB) in Scotland.
We also specialise in strategic housing issues, advising on developer selection for regeneration schemes, negotiating with developers on affordable housing issues, and analysing, valuing and reviewing housing stock portfolios.
Our commercial development experts have worked closely with local authorities on regeneration projects, town centre renewals, and a wide variety of mixed-use and other developments.
We also specialise in developing and delivering asset plans and estate management strategy for all levels of local authorities, to address Comprehensive Performance Assessment recommendations and improve ratings. By reviewing and benchmarking property assets, we can help identify opportunities for releasing value, financial savings and service improvements.
We can also provide Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) and Display Energy Certificates (DECs) to meet imminent 2008 requirements.
