How the money works
Speed
A faster sale can mean a lower price than a conditional deal that waits for permission.
Overage
Adding an overage clause can let you share in later uplift after an outright sale.
Title
Clean, registered title keeps an unconditional sale simple.
Deposit
A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with the balance on completion.

Your questions answered
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.
Do you buy land in Sheffield?
Yes. We consider land in and around Sheffield and across South Yorkshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
