How much do you pay for land?
Each and every site that we receive details on is meticulously researched and its land value to us established. Obviously this land value is different for every piece of land that we investigate. Typically we will pay agricultural rates.
However, our clients recognise the 'hope value' of some land and consequently they will pay significant premiums for land with long-term investment and development potential. Land with permissions or clearly identified short or medium term development potential will be discussed in depth on a site by site basis.
How quickly can you exchange and complete?
Because we have pre-allocated funds at our disposal and have completed many of our legal checks before we make an offer we are in a position to proceed with a purchase extremely quickly. Typically we may exchange two to three weeks after receipt of draft contracts and complete a week later.
Do you pay referral fees to introducers?
That depends entirely on the introduction and the site in question. Typically, if we were to complete on the purchase of land introduced to us by forwarding agents particulars that we were not already aware of, we would pay a previously agreed flat fee. We are happy to remunerate on a percentage of the net purchase price to an individual acting on behalf of the vendor or to an introducer who has made us aware of land not yet on the market. We are keen to discuss these arrangements on a bespoke basis, understanding that a flexible approach is key.
