David Hartnett (Mountbatten Estates)

This Week In Property Podcast

Today's guest is David Hartnett, the Founder and CEO of Mountbatten Estates, a thriving company operating in permitted development, new build, and multi-million-pound development schemes.

David is a second-generation developer whose business has exploded since lockdown due to the proprietary site-finding system he's developed.

He has sold this system to over 40 developers around London who are now bringing him sites and joint venturing with him, which has led to 6-7 development sites in his pipeline with a GDV of £75m that are at various stages of legals and planning.
