BESPOKE & TAILORED NATURAL CAPITAL APPRAISALS
Lead by Jess Bradley, Nicholsons offers a bespoke service for natural capital appraisal, tailored to each landowner’s own strategic objectives and priorities. With our in-house GIS team, ecologists and surveyors, we can assess and map your natural capital baseline but where our service differs from some others is that we will spend time with you at your property to understand your priorities and to ground truth the data that we have collected. We also offer a pragmatic approach by describing each opportunity in the context of today’s natural capital marketplace.
Jess is supported by our principal consultant, John Lockhart who has many years’ experience in this dynamic space.

“Natural Capital has recently been a key focus for estate businesses across the rural sector. At Deene we had reviewed a number of options but wanted a more bespoke approach that would help the estate team and our key advisors to understand the opportunities and risks linked with our key objectives and existing strategic planning.
We worked closely with the Nicholsons (formerly Lockhart Garratt) team to develop a suite of detailed plans, natural capital matrices and financial models, that were focused on our specific situation and highlighted clearly those opportunities that we felt would be key to securing the estate’s financial future. This information has proved very helpful to the Trustees and will undoubtedly be invaluable in guiding estate decisions as our environmental assets become more and more important.”
