Dave Hartnett is the CEO and founder of the Mountbatten Estates Group of Companies, including Mountbatten Living the investment arm, Mountbatten Education and Mountbatten Construction as well as multiple SPV’s do carry out the development projects.

Having scaled a start up in the beginning of COVID, Mountbatten Estates is on track to deliver over 500 residential units to the London market.

The company’s unique style of acquiring off market sites, had led to over 260 other developers applying it to build their pipeline of D2V sites. The “VA off-market land buyer system” cuts out the middleman using prop-tech, allows developers and sourcers to go D2V and structure deals which could never be done using traditional methods. Ideal for those who do not have the time, knowledge or resources to find the sites themselves, but want a hands-free automated system which runs in the background.

With a pipeline of 13 sites ranging from commercial to residential, new build, planning flips, JV’s with landowners, option contracts, including title splitting, asset stripping and commercial property, the company is using multiple techniques to secure sites and creative ways to get them funded.
