Sell land subject to planning in Beverley

For owners in Beverley and the HU17 area, a subject-to-planning sale is worth understanding before you talk to any buyer, including us.

A subject-to-planning sale, or conditional contract, is a sale where contracts are exchanged now but completion only happens once an acceptable planning permission is granted. It lets you agree a price based on the land's value with permission, while the buyer pays for and manages the application.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • We fund the planning work

Land around Beverley

From Beverley, it's 8 miles to Kingston upon Hull and 10 miles to Brough. We buy land across that whole stretch of the East Riding of Yorkshire, not only within the town.

Open arable farmland on the Wolds and in Holderness, with low-lying land beside the Humber where flood risk shapes what can be built.

When a subject-to-planning sale suits land near Beverley

  • Building plots and garden land without permission
  • Small sites with a clear planning case
  • Brownfield sites needing a housing permission
  • Sites where the planning period can be agreed in advance

A conditional contract shares the planning risk fairly. You agree a price today, we fund and run the planning application, and the sale completes if permission comes through.

How the money works

Price basis

The price is set against the land's value with permission, so it's usually higher than an unconditional offer.

Deposit

A deposit is usually paid on exchange and held until completion.

Price adjustments

Some contracts adjust the price for the number of homes approved.

Your use meanwhile

You normally keep using the land until completion.

  3. We put an offer in writing

Planning and legal points for land in the East Riding of Yorkshire

Planning framework

Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.

Section 106 and CIL

Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.

Common problems, and how we handle them

You're worried about being tied up indefinitely

A long-stop date sets the maximum time. If permission isn't granted by then, you're free.

You're worried we'll get permission for something you don't like

The contract can set out the scheme or limits on what we apply for.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Do I get a deposit?

A deposit is usually paid on exchange, with terms set out in the contract.

Can you visit land near Beverley?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
