Strategic Development Land

Unlock the Value of Your Land

Are you a farmer or landowner in the South West considering selling your land for development? Our strategic development land team is here to help you maximise its value.

With the UK targeting 1.5 million new homes over the next five years, demand for residential development land remain high. It’s crucial to choose the right approach to protect and optimise the value of your land.

What Do Developers Want?

Developers are particularly interested in strategic land sites that can support housing developments within the next 5-25 years. This typically includes greenfield sites on the edge of existing settlements, ranging from large urban extensions to smaller rural parcels.

Disposal Options

To maximise value while minimising risk, we offer tailored advice on various disposal methods, including:

  • Immediate outright sale
  • Pursuing your own planning permission
  • Granting an option to developer
  • Collaborating with a specialist land promoter
  • Selling with a conditional contract
  • Entering into a joint venture
The Process

After selecting the best approach, we often market the site to create a competitive environment, driving the best deal for you. Once planning permission is secured, the site’s value significantly increases, leading to a final sales through a competitive tender process.

Our Expertise

Securing professional advice is essential to protect and enhance the long-term value of your land assets. Our well-established connections with national and regional housebuilders, combined with the expertise of our development, planning, viability, and valuation teams, allow us to successfully manage every stage of the process.
