PTF PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT LTD

What PTF PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT LTD does

PTF Property Development Ltd is a UK-incorporated private limited company operating under the trading names PTF Homes, PTF Property, and PTF Developments. It is a small-scale residential property developer focused on identifying and acquiring sites — often from private landowners — securing planning permission (including on challenging sites with prior negative planning history), and developing residential housing primarily across the South East of England. The company has begun extending into specialist social and supported accommodation, exemplified by a consented children's home in Bexley for children with complex needs, alongside its completed Greenwich residential development.

The business is operated by three founder-directors whose initials form the company name: Puneet Gupta (Commercial Director; KPMG-trained Chartered Accountant and ex-Bank of Scotland real estate financier), Timur Ashimov (Finance Director; MSc in Financial Analysis from Exeter, former economics lecturer and City high-frequency trader), and Francis Hur (Development Director; American-qualified architect with over 20 years of international experience in the UK, US, and Malaysia). This three-person leadership covers commercial origination, financial structuring, and design/planning — the full vertical needed to take a site from landowner conversation through to completed unit.

PTF makes money through one-off property development and disposal transactions. It bears the full cost and risk of obtaining planning consent, then either develops for outright sale or partners with agents, joint-venture counterparties, or social housing providers. The go-to-market is direct-to-landowner, supplemented by relationships with commercial agents and local planning professionals; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is transaction-based. There is no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no evidence of external shareholders — capital appears to be sourced from the directors and relationship-based senior debt.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Crest Nicholson: Mid-size UK housebuilder with strong South East exposure. Comparable because it builds residential homes in the same regional market, but competes on volume rather than the planning-led, niche-consent approach PTF emphasises.
• Lovell Homes: UK residential developer and refurbishment contractor with a partnerships division delivering affordable and supported housing. Comparable because it works with local authorities and registered providers in the same South East geography as PTF.
• Notting Hill Genesis: Major London and South East housing association and developer of affordable and supported housing. Comparable because it operates in the same social and affordable housing space PTF targets (including supported housing), though at much greater scale as a registered provider.
• Berkeley Group: Large London- and South East-focused residential developer. Comparable because it operates in the same South East England for-sale housing market, but at vastly greater scale and with a focus on volume rather than bespoke difficult-consent work.
• Bellway Homes: UK national housebuilder with significant South East operations. Comparable in residential development activity in the same geography, but with a broader, volume-based model rather than PTF's difficult-site specialism.

Direct peers

• Hill Group: Privately held, family-run housebuilder with strong South East and London focus, including partnerships with housing associations. Comparable because it operates at a similar privately-held mid-scale level in the same regional residential and affordable-housing markets as PTF.

Emerging players

• Pocket Living: London-focused small developer of affordable first-time-buyer homes. Comparable as a small, mission-driven residential developer addressing affordability in the same region, with a similar focus on underserved buyer segments rather than open-market luxury.

Regional players

• Genesis Housing Association: Housing association active across London and the South East providing affordable and supported housing. Comparable as a counterparty for the kind of social and supported housing developments PTF delivers, particularly the Bexley children's home project.
