peatland restoration, water management and biodiversity uplift. We also have experience in a wide range of renewables projects including solar, battery storage and onshore wind.
We understand the wider impact of quarrying and waste opportunities. Our expertise lies in offering minerals and waste advice to landowners and operators throughout the entire process, from concept to restoration and aftercare.

IN OUR CLIENTS’ WORDS
Ceres Property had a challenging task of selling two plots of land, skillfully managing the marketing and buyer negotiations to secure the best possible value. Despite tight timescales driven by the impending Autumn Budget, they handled the process with ease, ultimately achieving a higher-thanexpected sale price. I would highly recommend Ceres Property for their expertise and professionalism.
Ben Wright Farm Owner
Ceres Property has been giving our farming partnership strategic and valuation advice on the impact of the Lower Thames Crossing – the biggest highways project since the M25. It is having a life-changing impact on our diverse farming business and the Ceres team has been vital in advising us on the development consent order process and negotiating compensation claims. We really appreciate all that has been done for us.
