About Us

Founder and Managing Director of independent Land Agency Walter Cooper, with over a decade of experience selling, acquiring and advising on residential development land across the South of England.

Having transacted on over 5,000 plots of land, with a GDV in excess of £750m, I advise clients ranging from international governments, equity funds, national housebuilders, to regional SME’s and sole traders alike.

With over 15 years’ experience in the housebuilding industry I have been influential in sourcing and delivering over 20,000 homes across the sector. I have a wealth of acquisition, sales, technical, commercial, construction and legal knowledge through a career spanning SME, Housebuilder and Registered Providers at Director level.

I have hands on knowledge of the challenges developers face day to day and maintaining business plans to deliver the right product for their brand and customers and understand how to deliver the best value for all parties. Crucially my deep understanding of both developer and client requirements allow a pragmatic approach to each opportunity.

A long and established career based in London, and more recently as the Head of the Hertfordshire office of Lambert Smith Hampton with a focus on development agency and consultancy, together with capital markets. I have had circa 40 years of experience within the property and land sectors and have a successful track record across the market acting within both the public and private sectors for a wide variety of clients including residential and commercial developers, landowners, funds and institutions, RSL’s, retirement operators and owner occupiers.

I have been involved in numerous development deals over the years acting for both buyers and sellers so have the benefit of seeing it from both sides and am able to advise the client accordingly.

Recent deals include strategic land acquisitions for high profile mixed-use developments, and major site acquisitions within the retirement sector.
