Common questions
What is an outright land sale?
A sale with no conditions such as planning permission. Once contracts are exchanged, both sides are committed to complete on the agreed date.
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 Porthcawl?
Yes. Villages between Porthcawl, Bridgend and Maesteg often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
