Sell land for development in Cornwall

Looking at selling land to a developer?

Are you a landowner owner looking to sell land for development in Cornwall, particularly in the stunning North Cornwall areas in and around Rock, Polzeath and Mawgan Porth?

Are you considering selling land for development and seeking a reputable purchaser to help you realise the value from your land? You may be wondering about where you would even start but there are trusted companies that can help you with this process.

When you have a piece of land that holds potential, you might find yourself at a crossroads, wondering how to unlock its true value. We understand selling land for development can be a complex and daunting process, and you would likely have a lot of questions:

How do I sell land for development?

When you look to sell land for development, it is not just about posting a “For Sale” sign and hoping for the best. It involves a strategic and well-thought-out process that requires expertise, local knowledge, and a deep understanding of the market.

There are three primary ways to sell land for development: without planning permission, “subject to planning,” and with planning permission.

Selling without Planning Permission

This is the simplest method. You can sell land for development without any additional steps. However, it may reduce the land’s value and the number of offers on the table because potential buyers may feel uncertain about obtaining Planning permission for future development.

Selling "Subject to Planning"

In this approach, you engage with a potential buyer, but the final sale depends on them first securing Planning permission. This provides a safety net for the buyer, as they can back out if they don’t obtain the necessary permission helping you to realise a better end sale value.

Selling with Planning Permission

This is the most appealing option for buyers, as it confirms that the land has permission for property development. The easiest type of permission to obtain is outline permission, which approves the principle of development but leaves specific details for the future.

It’s essential to prove your ownership of the land through legal documentation. If your land is unregistered, meaning it’s not officially recorded with HM Land Registry for England and Wales, proving ownership can be more complex. However, it is still possible by producing title deeds as evidence. While this may require some time and effort, there are options available to obtain these necessary documents for the sale process to be able to progress.

What do property developers look for when buying land for development?

When you sell land for development, land purchasers are looking for sites that hold promise. They seek land that is ideally suited for the purpose they have in mind, be it private home development, holiday home development, or even a grand holiday resort development.

Several factors can influence the value of your land, regardless of whether it has planning permission

These factors collectively influence the perceived value of your land:

Location

The location of your land plays a crucial role. Desirable areas for property development can command higher prices, while remote or less attractive locations may result in lower sale prices. You will know your own area and be able to gauge this from the amount of development going on and from general property prices and desirability.

Nearby Service Connections

Plots with excellent access to essential utilities like water, electricity and sewer lines are more appealing to developers.

Transportation Access

Good proximity to transportation options, such as main roads, bus or train routes are important. Developers consider geographic connectivity when assessing land, and better transportation links can lead to a higher sale price.

Local Services and Amenities

Beyond transportation, buyers also evaluate nearby services and amenities. If your land is in an area with excellent shopping, attractions, schools, and other facilities, it can attract a higher sale price.
