Our Founder
Michaela Bygrave MRICS
Managing Director
After 6 years of working in the Real Estate Valuation and Advisory sector Michaela set up her own consultancy firm, Pointe Michel. This came from a desire to provide developers, housing associations and community groups with the tools and advice needed to: build more affordable housing, manage their development process and to open up under-invested property markets. Pointe Michel’s focus is on projects that promote socially responsible outcomes. Such as affordable housing, investment in the local community and job creation for local people.
As a surveyor Michaela has worked in the UK, France and South Africa allowing her to cultivate a truly global perspective on property development, valuation and advice. Michaela is a Member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS) and a Registered Valuer.

Testimonial
Michaela has helped us in Brighton & Hove Community Land Trust to work out financial viability for some of our key community led housing projects. She has also helped some of our local CLH groups to understand the wider context of housing affordability and how they need to think about their cohousing schemes in relation to planning and section 106 requirements. She has a fabulous range of skills, really good knowledge in this sector and is a great communicator, which is so important in working with community-led groups.Andrea Jones, Brighton & Hove Community Land Trust
We worked with Pointe Michel on a research project to create an affordable housing calculator as well as a few bespoke valuations for sites. From start to finish Pointe Michel navigated a line between friendly collaboration and a high level of professional competency. I'm trying to find ways to work with them again!Charlie Fisher
Very pleasant to work with. Listened and responded well to our brief. Completed iterations and improvements efficiently and in a timely manner. Showed thoughtfulness and creativity in troubleshooting specific issues and has given us a valuable tool to take forward into future project. Would certainly recommend to anyone.Andy
In respect to my dealings with Pointe Michel, the level of professionalism and approach to the ask was well executed. Not only did they have the right level of experience, they also stepped beyond scope to give a future view. I will definitely be working with them and recommend them.Yemi Fagbenro
