Are you a landowner with a plot to sell? Selling land in the UK can be a complicated and lengthy process, especially as a first-time or inexperienced landowner.
Working with our team to sell your land for property development ensures you get the best value and outcome for your plot, without drowning in red tape.
Learn more about how to sell your land – with or without planning consent.
Many of the landowners we work with have inherited a plot of land and want to sell it. As they’re not experienced in the complexities of land sales, this can often be a challenging process without the support of a specialist.
We can work with you to sell either:
We can work with you to sell your land no matter what the planning status is.
We work with landowners like you to handle every stage of the sales process, whether you’re selling your land with planning permission, subject to planning, or without planning permission in place.
Depending on the agreement we come to, you can sell your land to us easily with or without planning permission, or we can take the land through the planning application process on your behalf and then help you to sell it once consent is in place.
The cost of selling land can vary depending on various factors such as location, size of the plot, local regulations, classification and what kind of agreement you come to.
The best place to start is with a discussion to get an idea of potential value and sale options.
The process of selling a plot of land to us depends on various factors, like the type of land it is, its planning status, and what your priorities are (i.e. selling the land quickly, securing the highest market value, ensuring maximum sustainability).
It begins with a free, no-obligation phone call or meeting/site visit with you to determine the value of your plot and discuss your selling options and objectives.
Then, we will advise on the best course of action and explain how each of the property sales processes work, so you can make an informed decision on how to sell your land.
Conditional contract
Conditional land sales depend on specific conditions, such as securing planning permission. This can extend the process but generally increases your return on investment.
Unconditional contract
In unconditional land sales, land is sold upfront without any conditions in place. This can lead to a simple, speedy sale, but doesn’t always achieve the maximum potential value.
Promotional agreement
Partnering with a developer or land agent in a promotional agreement streamlines the sale process for you. You make the most of their experience and industry contacts, while they benefit from you covering the costs of the planning process and marketing the land to potential buyers.
Options agreement
Under an options agreement, a developer agrees to buy your land within a set timeframe, reducing risk for you as the landowner while allowing for the value to rise once planning permission is granted within this period.
Collaboration agreement or joint venture
Joint ventures combine resources between a landowner and developer, spreading risk and providing access to expertise and funding, benefiting both parties in the development process.

Realise the potential of your land
Your land has the potential to change lives and communities.
As land specialists, we work closely with our network of industry contacts and key stakeholders to determine the best use for your land so it achieves its full potential.
As experienced land and planning specialists, we employ a variety of assessments and metrics to determine the value of your land. We take into consideration factors like its location, size, development potential, and any regulations and restrictions to come up with an accurate valuation.
Again, this depends on the type of sale agreement you opt for, market conditions and various other contributing aspects. If you need to sell land fast, an unconditional sale is generally the speediest route, and this can happen in a few weeks or months minimum. However, this is only a guide, and it’s best to seek expert advice and specifics for more accurate timelines.
Working with a land agent or specialist is the best way to sell land and maximise its value. It’s important to choose a land partner you can trust, with the experience to ensure selling your plot of land is a seamless process that results in the best possible financial outcome for you.
