Land Agency

If you are considering selling development land, obtaining the right professional advice is essential to ensure you maximise value while navigating the complexities of planning, legal constraints, and market demand. We are well versed in this area and provide expert guidance to landowners, developers, and investors, ensuring a smooth and profitable sale process.

Selling land for development is significantly different from selling residential or commercial property. Without expert input, landowners may encounter challenges such as:

• Underestimating land value – A professional valuation ensures you do not undersell.
• Planning complexities – Understanding planning permission, and local authority requirements is critical for a successful transaction.
• Legal and environmental considerations – Issues such as restrictive covenants, access rights, and contamination risks can impact development feasibility.
• Marketing to the right buyers – A strategic approach to marketing ensures your land reaches developers, investors, and housebuilders actively seeking opportunities.
