Alex Brown

I am a qualified Chartered Surveyor (MRICS), RICS Registered Valuer and Chartered Town Planner (MRTPI), with approximately 18 years of experience. I have previously worked as both a planning consultant and a commercial property valuation surveyor.

My work focuses on development viability and valuation, including advice on scheme feasibility studies and financial viability assessments (FVAs) in connection with planning applications.

A core area of my expertise is advising on strategic brownfield regeneration sites and developments.

My experience spans a wide range of development uses, including residential and commercial property. I also lead on the alternative residential financial viability workstreams within the Development team at Gerald Eve, specialising in Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), Build to Rent (BTR), Co-Living and the Later Living sectors.

Clients include: Ballymore, Berkeley Homes, Topland Group, Unite, Beechcroft, Urbanest, Reef, Groveworld, Regal London, Shaw Corporation, Castleforge, Great Portland Estates and Landsec.
