Questions from landowners in Rutland
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.
When do I get paid?
Normally a deposit at exchange and the balance at completion, as set out in the contract.
Can I still benefit if you get planning later?
Yes, if we agree an overage clause in the contract.
Do you buy land in Rutland?
Yes. We consider land across Rutland, from Oakham to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
