Questions from landowners near Newtown
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 I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Do you cover the villages around Newtown?
Yes. Villages between Newtown, Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
