Questions owners ask

Short answers.

What does this cost me?

Nothing. We pay for every consultant, survey, application and appeal.

Do I lose control of my land?

No. Title stays with you, and the land is sold only when you approve buyer and price.

How long does it take?

Three to seven years from first conversation to sale is usual.

What share do I receive?

The larger share of the net sale price, agreed in writing before we start.

Can I end the agreement?

Yes, if we miss the milestones written into it. It also has a fixed term.

What about tax?

We are not tax advisers. We work with your accountant and solicitor from the start.
