Who we are

A privately funded buyer, not a broker with a wish list.

Sennia Group acquires land, development schemes and income-producing residential and mixed-use assets across London, the Home Counties and the wider UK — on our own account and on behalf of a small number of retained clients.

Every requirement on this site is live and funded. We are not discount driven and we do not chase price at the eleventh hour. Where a site fits, we appraise quickly, offer on terms we intend to honour, and complete.

01

Cash funded

Equity in place before we bid. No lender conditionality, no funding contingency, no re-trade on the back of a valuation.

02

Deliverable timescales

Appraisal within days of receiving information. Ability to exchange within six months, and to achieve vacant possession inside three where required.

03

Agents paid

We are able to pay agency fees on every requirement, including introductions on off-market and unconsented land.

04

Consented or not

We take planning risk. Unconditional land, subject-to-planning contracts and fully consented schemes are all of interest.

Live requirements

Funded mandates, open right now.

Each requirement below is backed by committed equity, either our own or a retained client’s. If a site sits close to the brief, send it anyway — we would rather review it than miss it.
