Selling land for development?
If you own land that you believe may have development potential, you might be considering selling it. There are three main ways to sell land for housing development:
1. Sell Without Planning Permission
This is the quickest way to sell but will be reflected in the price that is offered to you – i.e., you will usually sell at the lowest price as the value of the land is compromised.
Buyers will be purchasing the land on the risk of securing planning permission themselves, so they will only be willing to pay a fraction of what the land would be worth, compared to land with planning permission.
This is called buying ‘on risk’.
2. Sell “Subject to Planning”
This means that the buyer agrees to buy the land only if they are able to secure planning permission. This reduces the risk for the buyer, so they will be willing to pay more than if they were buying the land without planning permission.
However, it can take a long time to secure planning permission, so this option may not be suitable for those looking to sell with urgency.
Securing planning permission can often be a lengthy process and will have time constraints.
3. Sell after Securing Planning Permission Yourself
This is the most expensive option, but it is also the most likely to get you the best price, as it holds value. With planning permission in place, buyers will be able to start building immediately, and they will be willing to pay a premium for the land.

We are absolutely thrilled with our new house and it’s everything that we thought it would be and more! The whole team at Whiteacre Homes were a pleasure to deal with and nothing was too much trouble for them.
We are just approaching 2 years since moving into our new house. I would like to thank Chris and his team for the quality of the initial workmanship and also the service we have received both during the building work and since.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience seeing the plot coming out of the ground, all along the way to the end product. We would highly recommend Whiteacre Homes as a unique House Builder.
