Thomas has over twenty years of experience in the local property market under his belt, advising clients in both the residential and commercial sectors. Development sites are his passion, and he specialises in providing holistic advice to his clients throughout the southwest to ensure the most suitable method of disposal is implemented to achieve the maximum value. His experience covers a broad spectrum of development opportunities from selling development plots in prime coastal locations to much needed rural exception sites for affordable housing, as well as selling development opportunities in numerous town centre locations for redevelopment or repurposing.
Having acted for his family to sell land via option agreements and capturing planning gains for land to sell on the open market, he knows the job from both sides of the fence. Thomas is able to empathise with vendors during what can be a challenging process. However, his intricate knowledge and technical experience of the planning process allows him to guide his clients and customers through all stages of the sale or development process.
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends and can often be found enjoying the coast line, cold water swimming or cycling the many back roads of rural Cornwall.
“Miller Commercial have acted for us for over a decade in various capacities including undertaking valuation work and development appraisals together with acquisition work and property management. We have always found them to be approachable and to provide innovative solutions.”
