Our Team
Banke
Founder
Banke and Timi have a shared conviction: that land should work for the people who own it and for the places that need housing. Together, they identify sites where planning policy and local housing need align with a landowner's circumstances, and structure the route to value through options, promotion agreements and joint ventures.
Banke spent her career in credit risk, underwriting, structuring and managing transactions with a combined value in excess of £500 million. That experience trained a particular instinct: the ability to look past a headline return and read the assumptions holding it up. Where others see a projected GDV, she sees the sensitivities — cost inflation, exit timing, planning risk, the difference between a deal that survives a downturn and one that only works on a spreadsheet. It is a discipline that translates directly into land, where the gap between an option agreement and a consented site is measured in years and judgement.
Timi built his career in consulting, turning complex, multi-party problems into executable plans. He pairs that with hands-on property operating experience, having run serviced accommodation — a business that leaves no room for theory, where occupancy, cost control, guest experience and cashflow are all felt weekly. That operational grounding shapes how the business is run today, from the first landowner conversation through to delivery.
Both are landowners in themselves - a vantage point that brings a first-hand feel for what a land could become, while never losing sight of what an owner actually values: privacy, character, and a home within easy reach of everywhere they need to be.
