Nick Cuff

Nick created propviews in 2018 to bridge the knowledge gap between policy and practice in housebuilding. He is an entrepreneur and property developer with a passion for place making and the positive role the built environment can play in transforming communities. Nick has played a key role in a number of London’s private/public partnerships over the last two decades working across both large scale masterplan proposals and smaller, infill sites. He specialises in solving complex real estate problems and unlocking sites for new homes. In 2024, he founded developer and advisory business Urban Sketch with partners Will Grant and Tina John. They have since assembled a pipeline of over a thousand homes focusing mainly on co-living and single family rental accommodation. Prior to founding Urban Sketch, Nick spent over a decade in leadership roles at housing innovator Pocket Living growing the business to a turnover of £70 million and delivering more than 2,000 homes across large and small mixed use sites. He also formerly served as a Cabinet Member in LB Wandsworth where he led on planning helping to enable the initial stages of the Nine Elms regeneration and Battersea Powerstation redevelopment. He is a chartered planner, land surveyor and former Non-Executive in the London NHS.
