Where Eastbourne sits
The land we're most interested in near Eastbourne sits on the edge of the built-up area or in the villages towards Hailsham (7 miles) and Seaford (8 miles).
Much of the county lies in the South Downs National Park or the High Weald National Landscape, which limits greenfield development outside the towns.

How the money works
Planning risk
Without permission, the price reflects the chance planning is refused.
Overage
Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.
Vacant possession
Land free of tenants and occupiers completes more easily.
Costs
You normally pay your own legal costs on a straightforward sale.

Common questions
How fast can an outright sale complete?
It depends on the title, searches and how quickly both solicitors work. Straightforward registered land can move quickly; we won't promise a date before seeing the title.
When do I get paid?
Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
