FAQ’s:

Why Should You Choose Us.?

Our company is run by a team of professionals including Land Surveyors, Planning Consultants and Engineers. We pool our expertise to bring real development investment opportunities to you.

What Makes us Different?

We believe we are one of the only plot companies that can legally deliver the development value of the plots we sell.

What Criteria Do We Use For Selecting Land?

Amongst other aspects, we, believe that the land selected should be in areas of high housing demand, adjoining existing housing developments and within reasonable distance of utilities such as schools, transport stations and shops etc.

Will The Land Definitely Get Planning Permission?

All the sites are in areas where it is believed that there is a realistic possibility that planning permission could be granted in the medium/long term future. However, investing in greenbelt land is speculative and we give no guarantees.

Can I resell My Plot?

Yes. There is a strong demand for quality land and we can help you if you wish. Since, once you’ve purchased a plot(s) you are the legal owner of the freehold, you can sell on to anyone you wish, e.g. other owners or someone just wishing to purchase a plot.

Do I Need To Use A Solicitor?

Legal representation is left to the discretion of the plot purchaser. We are happy to provide you with one of the nation’s top qualified legal experts.

Will There Be Any Capital Gains Tax Or Stamp Duty?

There will be no capital gains tax to pay on any profits if you are not a resident, nor ordinarily resident of the UK. There will be capital gains tax to pay on any profits if you are a UK resident; however there normally are allowances and discounts to offset against this. Stamp Duty only applies to plot purchases over ₤150,000.

Who Holds The Title Deeds?

You the owner, once the transaction is complete. The deeds of the title are forwarded to you from HM Land Registry, confirming your outright freehold ownership.

Do You Actually Plan And Develop Sites For Housing Yourselves?

No, that’s the remit of developers/builders once the land has outline consent. The diagrams/plans we put together are purely indicative of how a developer might plan housing on a particular site. There are, of course, other options/variations they may employ.

What Kind Of Land Is Involved?

It’s predominantly agricultural or Greenfield land or accommodation land, the common factor being development potential.

Isn’t Greenbelt Land Protected?

Generally yes. But pressures on housing mean that local and national government are increasingly releasing selected sites in order to meet demand for the future.

What Do The Developers Do?

Have you ever wondered why property developers seem to be able to obtain planning permission where others have failed in the past? They obtain it for two specific reasons: Firstly, they have the experience and expertise to make a clear and persuasive case to the local councils and government bodies. Secondly and most importantly, they buy land that is strategically positioned to fit all the criteria that meets with the current needs for housing.

Why Shouldn’t I Apply For Planning Permission Individually?

An experienced individual applying for planning permission for one plot of land out of potentially a whole development proposal is quite likely to be refused. With the infrastructure not in place, there are likely to be significant repercussions regarding access etc. thus affecting further applications for the site as a whole. To ensure that you gain maximum potential from your investment, we arrange the services of experienced teams of planning consultants.
