The Landowner's Guide

Understanding what your land is really worth — and the options open to you, from a developer who has sat on both sides of a land deal.

What's inside

  • Why planning permission changes your land's value most
  • How a developer works out what your land is worth — the residual maths, in plain terms
  • Your four routes: unconditional sale, subject to planning, option and promotion agreements
  • Overage, deposits and how to read an offer beyond the headline price
  • What drives the number — and the risks that quietly change it
  • Large gardens and the green belt: what's realistic
  • Sell, or partner — and how development management works

A short, practical read. No jargon, no hard sell — just a straight explanation to help you make an informed decision.
