And why it could be worth far more to you than simply selling your land.
No jargon. Here is how it works, start to finish.
You keep your land the whole way through. You are not selling it to anyone.
We ask the council for permission to build, and we pay for all of it.
If permission is granted, we fund and build it all ourselves.
Take cash, a finished home, or land. Whatever suits you and your family.
Think of it as a simple agreement that lets us go and find out what your land is really worth. You are not selling it. You are not signing it away. It stays yours the whole way through.
All you are doing is giving us permission to go to the council on your behalf and try to get planning permission on it. That usually takes two or three years, and we pay for everything along the way. The planning application, the architects, the surveys, the solicitors. You never put your hand in your pocket.
And if the council says no? We walk away, and you have lost nothing.
If they say yes, we build the homes too. Then you tell us what you would like to get out of it, and we shape the deal around you and your family. No pressure, no hard sell, and no rush.
We pay for everything and we carry all of the risk. You keep your land, and you decide how you would like to be paid at the end of it. That is really all there is to it, and it is why people come to us instead of taking a quick sale.
Here is exactly how it goes, start to finish. No jargon, no hidden steps, no surprises.
Most people are surprised by how much choice they actually have. Here are a few of the ways it can work.
The big housebuilders will make you an offer, and they are very good at making it sound generous. What they will not show you is the piece of paper on their desk that says what your site will be worth once the houses are up. The difference between those two numbers is how they make their money. Here is how that compares to working with us.
| What matters to you | Big Developers | Option One |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to you | Buy at the lowest price | Zero. Ever. |
| What you receive | Fixed price, agreed early | A share of the final value |
| When you are paid | At planning | When complete and sold |
| Flexibility | Cash only, fixed | Cash, property or land |
| Your family | Not their problem | Designed around them |
| Transparency | Rarely shared | Full open book |
| Planning risk | Can fall on you | All on us |
| Sales pressure | Targets to hit | None |
Mr and Mrs George owned two plots of land but, at their age, did not want the debt or the worry of building on them. So we built one of the homes for them, start to finish, at our own cost. They handed over the other plot, and we handed them the keys to a finished home worth £1 million. No borrowing. No risk. No stress. Just a brand new home to keep, live in, or pass on.
At Sunnyside Farm in Essex, one family needed to stay on their land all the way through the build, with a much loved family member whose home had to be carefully adapted around their needs. Most developers would never let a family remain on site. We did. We built around them, tailored the home to suit them, and looked after them at every step. That is what putting you first actually means, and it is how we work on every single site.
You do not need a big plot, and you certainly do not need planning permission. Even a large back garden can be worth far more than you would think. Finding that out is our job, and it costs you nothing.
