Sell Your Land

We have a wide range of planning consultants and architects who can provide professional advice on the planning potential of your land. Along with sophisticated systems which will allow us to access the sites within minutes.

We look at every site from residential homes, back gardens, commercial/industrial units, agricultural units as well as brownfield / greenfield sites.

How do I start the process?

  • Get in contact and provide information on your land. Send details and we will provide you with a no-obligation appraisal.

  • Once we have reviewed the site, we can discuss the restrictions and potential along with your circumstances and the best way to proceed. 

  • We will reach out to numerous buyers in our network and present them with the site along with the preferred deal structure. Interested parties will be asked to view the site.

  • We will set a bid deadline for all interested parties to offer. Once this has passed, we will present all offers to you. We will review all the offers in detail and recommend you a buyer. 

  • We have numerous solicitors we work with that specialise in development contracts and will recommend a call with them before you proceed. We will issue a head of terms to both buyer and seller and advise on any questions you have whilst the contract is being processed by the solicitors. 

No two land transactions are the same, we offer bespoke advise and will guide you through the process every step of the way. Below are deal structures commonly used in land sales.

Option Agreement:

An option agreement is a contract between a property owner and a potential buyer that gives the buyer the right to purchase the property within a set time frame. The buyer is not required to exercise the option, but the seller is legally obligated to sell the property if the buyer chooses to do so.

Promotion Agreement:

A promotion agreement is similar to an option, except the promoter is not usually a builder/developer, but instead a company or individual that specialises in land promotion. Once planning permission is granted, they will take the land to market with the landowner and sell to a third party at a pre agreed split. 

Conditional agreement:

A conditional agreement is a contract between a landowner and a developer that states the developer will purchase the property (at a pre-agreed price) if they can obtain satisfactory planning permission. The buyer is obligated to complete the sale if planning permission has been granted.

Joint Venture:

A joint venture agreement for a property is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms of a collaboration between two or more parties. This type of agreement is often used if the landowner wants to split the risk/reward and cost liability with the incoming purchaser. 

Auctions:

A property auction is a method of selling real estate where a seller offers a property for bidding, and potential buyers place competitive offers. The highest bidder at the end of the auction wins the property. This sale structure is used if there is little to no development potential or if the landowner needs a quick sale.  

Unconditional Sale: 

An unconditional sale is a sale that doesn't have any conditions attached to it. It's the simplest type of contract for the sale of a property. 

Overage Agreements: 

An overage agreement is a legal contract between a buyer and seller that allows the seller to receive extra money from the buyer if the value of the land increases after the sale. Overage agreements are also known as "clawback", "uplift", or "anti-embarrassment" agreements.
