If certainty matters more than squeezing out the highest possible figure, an outright purchase is usually the right route.

Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.

An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.

Common questions
Does an outright sale pay the most?
Usually not, for land without permission. You're trading some price for speed and certainty. A conditional deal or option may pay more but takes longer.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Can you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
