Optimising sites for future sales

If private or corporate land owners have a site that could support a very large development (say 400+ homes) that they are not minded to sell for five or more (up to 20) years, our Strategic Planning service can help them to optimise the site in the short- to medium- term to secure future interest and maximise the later potential of the land for the owner and onward developer.

When it comes to selling the land our Strategic Planning advisers are able to advise landowners on the many different contract options and negotiate terms and conditions on their behalf, ensuring their best interests are front and centre in any agreement.
