When the land isn't straightforward
You think the land might get planning later
An overage clause can pay you a share of any future uplift.
You need the money by a certain date
Tell us at the start. We'll be honest about whether that's achievable.

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.
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 you pull out after exchange?
No. An unconditional exchange is legally binding on both sides.
Do you cover the villages around Berkhamsted?
Yes. Villages between Berkhamsted, Chesham and Hemel Hempstead often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
