LANDOWNERS
Which landowner route should I explore?
Start with your priorities: timing, involvement and how you would like to realise the land’s value. Sale, conditional purchase, an option or a partnership involve different commitments. A project conversation helps identify which route deserves more detailed professional advice.
PLANNING
How does planning fit into the project?
The proposed use, location, design and site constraints shape the planning route. Begin with the local planning context and suitable professional input, so the design brief and next decisions reflect the property.
FUNDING
What information helps a funding conversation?
Bring together the property details, ownership position, proposed scope, approximate cost, programme and intended outcome. A relevant finance professional can then explain the information and assessment they need.
BEFORE YOU BUY
What should I understand before buying?
Consider access, boundaries, services, the condition of existing buildings and the relevant planning context. Agree the scope of any surveys or feasibility work with appropriate professionals before making a purchase commitment.
