FAQs

Strategic land promotion involves identifying, acquiring, and promoting land through the planning system with the potential for future development. This process is often carried out by specialised land promoters who focus on obtaining planning permissions and adding value to land that is not yet allocated for development.

 

Land promotion typically takes several years, with an average duration of 3 to 8 years from initial assessment to final sale or development.

A Land Promotion Agreement is a contract between a landowner and a promoter. In this arrangement, the promoter agrees to assist the landowner in obtaining planning permission for the development of their land.

A Land Promotion Agreement can help landowners increase the value of their land by utilising the skills and resources of the promoter, without facing substantial costs and risk.

An option agreement is a contract between a landowner and a promoter that gives the promoter the exclusive right to buy the property within a specified period and under predefined terms. This kind of agreement is often used in real estate and land development. The promoter typically takes on obligations such as seeking planning permission.

In a Promotion Agreement, the promoter will only be paid after obtaining planning permission and after your solicitor has finalised the sale to the buyer. At that point, we will receive a pre-agreed percentage of the sale price directly from your solicitor. The majority of the share will be paid to you as the landowner.
