Built around the work of appraising development sites

Kettly brings the key parts of a development appraisal into one place, helping you understand the land value and explain the assumptions behind it.

Why Kettly

Make the numbers easier to work with

Every land offer rests on assumptions about value, cost, timing and return. As those assumptions change, you need a clear way to see what they mean for the scheme.

Kettly was built from practical experience of appraising sites. It gives developers, land agents, consultants and investors a clearer way to appraise land, test assumptions and keep track of how the figures change as a scheme moves on.

The aim is simple: development appraisal that is more structured, more transparent and easier to explain, from first review through to delivery.

Feedback on the calculations, usability and missing features is always welcome.
