Questions from landowners near Farnham
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 cover the villages around Farnham?
Yes. Villages between Farnham, Aldershot and Fleet often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
