I have called Andy Timbrell as a witness in housing inquiries to provide evidence on the commercial realities associated with housing delivery. Andy’s expertise comes from having experience in all tiers of the house building industry. He has had a significant career working for a major national housebuilder and then a regional house builder. Now with his own small local house building firm he has the full spread of experience to talk accurately about housing delivery across the market. He also acts as an agent to landowners and development companies so he works across the full extent of the house building industry. Read more

We have worked with DBA Estates Limited for many years now and have been constantly impressed with their professionalism and understanding of our business requirements. DBA have assisted us both in identifying and securing excellent new investment opportunities but also in the promotion of existing assets. I would thoroughly recommend DBA Estates Limited to those seeking new opportunities or support with existing planning promotions.
Nick Duckworth – Managing Director – Hallam Land Management
DBA Estates have provided us with invaluable professional support both formally and informally in relation to identification and acquisition of new land opportunities. They have a commercial view on the planning system and apply this to their advice. I would not hesitate to use DBA again in relation to site search, acquisition or advice on investment decisions.
Scott Chamberlin – Managing Director – Gleeson Strategic Land

Martin Rose - Head of Minerals, Property and Planning - Wienerberger Ltd
Andrew Timbrell of DBA Estates Ltd was contracted by the landowners of some 45 acres of land near Shifnal, Shropshire to look after their interest with regards to Planning and negotiations with the option holder and two separate majors who ultimately became the purchasers / developers.
Andrew was engaged at a later stage than in hindsight he should have been, but I believe that he handled this difficult remit with great competence and skill to the benefit of the landowners but at the same time to the satisfaction of the purchasers. Read more
Charles Dyas – Landowner
In April 2014, we appointed DBA Estates Limited as the sole selling agent for the sale of our land interests at Shifnal in Shropshire. Planning permission had been secured for 400 residential dwellings, along with land for a local swimming pool facility and doctor’s surgery as part of the Section 106 planning obligations.
We selected DBA Estates Limited due to their in-depth knowledge of the house building industry at senior level and specifically due to the expertise of Andy Timbrell as an accomplished Regional Land Director for a national and regional housebuilder, but also due to his historic site knowledge.
