YOUR OPTIONS, IN PLAIN ENGLISH

Partner, sell or planning-only?

Three honest ways to get value from land or property — and how to choose between them.

Sell as it is

You want certainty and speed.

  • + Money in hand quickly
  • + No further involvement or risk
  • – You get today’s value — not the value planning permission can add

Planning-only

You want to add value, then sell.

  • + Planning permission can raise what a buyer will pay
  • + You stay in control of the sale
  • – You pay for architects, surveys and fees up front
  • – Permission is never guaranteed

Partner with me

You have land, but not the funding, time or team.

  • + Our established team handles feasibility, planning and legal work
  • + You share in the upside instead of selling at today’s value
  • + No win, no fee — subject to a written agreement
  • – Takes longer than a straight sale
  • – Returns depend on planning and the market
WHAT EVERY AGREEMENT COVERS

Every site gets its own agreement.

No two sites are the same. Each agreement is shaped around the site’s size, who owns it, and how much capital goes in — mine or from other investors. The points below are the questions every agreement answers; the answers are different every time.

01

Agreed land value

An independent valuation sets what your land is worth today, so your contribution is recorded from the start.

02

Profit share

Set case by case, reflecting the land’s value and how much capital each side puts in — agreed in writing before work begins.

03

Costs and fees

Who pays for design, planning and legal work — and what happens to those costs if planning is refused.

04

Deadlines

Clear milestones, such as a date to lodge a planning application, so the project cannot drift.

05

Your exit

What happens if milestones are missed: you can walk away and keep your land.

06

Independent advice

You are encouraged to take your own solicitor’s advice before signing anything.

This is a sample outline only, not a standard contract, an offer or legal advice. Every partnership is negotiated individually and agreed in writing. Planning permission and financial returns are not guaranteed.
