Empowering Councils
with strategic property
expertise
WHO WE ARE
Local Government Property Consultants (LGPC) is a specialist estate and asset advisory practice working exclusively with councils and education providers. Our purpose is simple: to help public bodies turn property portfolios into outcomes - more homes, lower costs, improved services and stronger communities.
We understand the pressures local authorities face: financial constraints, rising statutory duties, ageing assets, net-zero requirements, and the growing complexity of estate decisions. Our work gives councils a clear route forward, grounded in evidence, shaped by practical experience, and aligned with long-term public value.
Our Purpose
We believe property should be more than a liability on the balance sheet - it should be an active driver of public good.
That means:
-
Modernising and rationalising estates to reduce cost and risk
-
Unlocking land for housing, regeneration and community benefit
-
Repurposing assets to meet changing statutory and service needs
-
Supporting councils through both everyday pressures and major structural change, including Local Government Reorganisation (LGR)
Our role is to provide clarity, confidence and options - so decision-makers can move forward with assurance.
Our Experience
LGPC brings senior-level expertise across:
-
Estate optimisation, rationalisation and long-term planning
-
Housing delivery, temporary accommodation strategy and land release
-
Disposal strategy and development partnering
-
LGR estate transition and service redesign
-
-
Net-zero, compliance and lifecycle planning
We have a proven track record supporting public bodies to generate capital, improve operational efficiency and make defensible, transparent decisions.
With LGPC, councils gain access to an independent, trusted partner whose sole focus is public-sector value - not private-sector commercial agendas.
Procurement & Regulatory Compliance
We operate exclusively within the public sector and are fully aligned with the Procurement Act 2023, its Regulations (February 2025), and all associated transparency and governance requirements.
Our work complies with:
-
The Public Contracts regime
-
The Local Government Act 1999 (Best Value Duty)
-
The Local Government Transparency Code
-
RICS professional and ethical standards
-
UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018
-
Robust conflict-of-interest and anti-fraud safeguards
-
Appropriate professional indemnity and liability insurance
We provide councils with all documentation required for compliant appointment - whether by direct award, quotation, tender or via approved frameworks - and maintain continuous oversight of Cabinet Office guidance.
How We Work
Collaborative
We embed alongside your teams, ensuring strategy connects with delivery.
Outcome-focused
Our work is designed to lead directly to decisions, improvements and tangible results - not just reports.

Our goal is always the same:
to leave councils stronger, better organised, and equipped for the challenges of tomorrow.
