Q: Why should I consider selling my land?

A: If you are re-evaluating your assets or looking for ways to release cash, a land sale can be a good idea. The government is increasing funding to support more new homes to be built in England. You could be a part of this and use your land to develop affordable housing and provide homes for a family to move into.

Q: Should I have my land reviewed before placing it on the market?

A: It’s important to know the value of the land you have to avoid underselling or overpricing it. With the right information, you can contact the right buyer from the very beginning. This will better your chances of a successful sale.

The property market is a diverse and complex world. It helps to have the right advice before entering it. We can save you time and stress and help you avoid costly legal fees.

Q: What if I only have a small plot of land?

A: We consider any site from half an acre to 100 acres. We also consider brownfield sites, factories, and greenfield sites. Don’t put off selling your site because you think it’s too small. Call us and we can advise on how best to sell your land.

Q: I’m worried about what my land will be used for. How can you help?

A: Parting with land can be a difficult decision, especially if you’re worried about what your land may be used for in the future. We can put your mind at ease.

We focus on quality development that respects and sustains the environment. Landowners can feel safe knowing that their land will be used to develop affordable housing that will help others.

Speak to a member of our team to discuss any concerns you may have and find out how we can help.

Q: Who should I contact to help me sell my land?

A: You can contact an agent to help with your land sale, though you may find they cannot supply the information you need to help you get the best deal.

We provide a detailed assessment of your site to reveal its developmental potential. This will help us determine how best to use your land and who’s the best buyer for you to approach.
