We’re a turnkey developer. We acquire off-market, maximise value through obtaining planning consent, and build out all of our developments using our in-house dedicated construction company.
We provide a full turnkey solution, ensuring that every project — from site appraisal and planning to securing funding and exit strategies, is meticulously handled by our expert team. This end-to-end control allows us to deliver projects efficiently, on budget, and ahead of schedule, and has led to the development of high-quality profitable assets.
ZAKE’s ability to quickly capitalise on off-market opportunities, coupled with a reputation for speed and agility, has solidified its standing in the market. We pride ourselves on our ability to work within the complexities of the UK’s planning and development frameworks, taking on projects others might avoid and converting them into successful ventures with our partners.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
ESG is very important to us; we employ our policy in all our investments and developments to ensure a responsible, environmentally and socially friendly process is followed. We deliver sustainable developments where residential homes target the intermediate market and housing shortage in the markets that we serve
Our core values
At ZAKE our core values dictate how we operate our business.
When we say we will do something, we perform. We have always delivered on time and on budget, and we take pride in our stakeholders’ reliability on us; we never disappoint and only outperform.
We are committed to sustainability and creating long-term value in the communities where we operate. ESG is important for us as it determines how we develop and deliver our sites, through our acquisition selection, design and development processes.
We believe in building not just properties but also trust with our clients and partners. Transparency in all our deals is paramount, and we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of quality across every project.
This, combined with our focus on value maximisation and responsible development, ensures we are contributing positively to the built environment while creating exceptional opportunities for growth.
