概要

 In this episode, Kieron and Jonathan discuss the evolving landscape of site finding in 2026. While the core principles of development remain steady, the tools and technologies available to developers have shifted significantly. The duo explores traditional methods like direct vendor letters and building relationships with agents, while highlighting how new software and AI integration are streamlining the research process. KEY TAKEAWAYS Traditional methods like direct-to-vendor letters and building strong relationships with both residential and commercial agents remain effective, though they now require a more targeted approach. Modern software (like Nimbus Maps or Searchland) and AI tools are excellent for quickly rejecting bad deals, but they don't replace the need for human judgment and ‘gut feel’. Landowners are more informed about planning potential in 2026, which can lead to higher price expectations and the need for more complex structures like joint ventures. Site finding is a continuous business process, not a one-off task. Maintaining a pipeline of potential deals is crucial for better negotiation leverage. Developers should focus on controlling land through options or conditional contracts rather than outright ownership to minimise financial and planning risk. BET MOMENTS "The fundamentals haven't changed, but the speed and tools have." "The tools don't find the deals; they remove bad ones faster." "Consistency beats cleverness." "Site finding is a pipeline; it's not a one-off task." "Developers don't just find sites, they create them."
