Common questions

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.
