How we like to work

Richborough operates on a fully aligned model — we take on all financial risk and only receive our share when land is sold. This means our interests are entirely aligned with the landowners and agents we work with. Our in-house design, technical and planning teams manage every stage of the promotion process, supported by local market knowledge and established relationships with planning authorities across England and Wales. We work transparently, consult communities thoroughly and focus on delivering outcomes that work for landowners, local authorities and the communities that will call these places home.
