Why Symonds & Sampson?
Throughout the region, demand for development sites remains strong, both from large construction firms looking for multiple sites and from individuals wishing to self-build.
We have a record of success in the New Homes market with high demand seeing many properties being reserved or sold ‘off-plan’. This growing demand shows many buyers are favouring new and eco builds over an older property. The reasons might include energy efficiency, lower maintenance, modern design features and warranties.

Preparing a site for the market
Understanding the Gross Development Value (GDV) at the concept of development is key.
Whether the starting point is a green field, or a site already with Planning Permission, the combined expertise within Symonds & Sampson’s professional departments will ensure that the appropriate actions are taken.
We can advise whether full or outline planning permission for a site is the most appropriate, and give consideration to Section 106 contributions, low cost and/or affordable housing allocations. These decisions are all factored into calculating the GDV, and ultimately gaining the most appropriate planning to maximise the value of the site.
In establishing the likely value of the land, we will also evaluate the best method of achieving a sale. Private Treaty, Tender (informal or formal) and Auction are the most common methods of sale.
We look forward to receiving your enquiry via our Development Land and New Homes teams in Poundbury 01305 251154 or Sherborne 01935 814488.

It’s all about Team Work
Our professional team can guide you through all the hurdles of planning and development, whilst our survey and design team can assist you with refurbishment projects as well as ‘from scratch’ builds.
The Site
With an eye for spotting opportunities, our residential, agricultural and commercial agents establish long-standing relationships with clients, ensuring that potential sites are identified at the earliest opportunity.
The Planning
Town & Country Planning is an everchanging and evolving system and we have a team of consultants who have the skills and expertise to guide clients through the process of either promoting land for development or securing planning permission for whatever project is being pursued.
The Design
Symonds & Sampson’s Building Survey and Design team are able to prepare the detailed drawings required to accompany a planning application and oversee the new build with the preparation of technical drawings and specifications for Building Regulation requirements.
We also regularly work with architects where clients have an existing relationship in place.
Buy to Let
A new home as a buy to let is certainly an attractive prospect – the building will normally have a (10 year) warranty, the maintenance will be lower and the property will be presented well.
Our Letting Agents are able to assist Landlords with the many different stages of Buy To Let including providing initial advice, through marketing the property to tenants moving in.
We successfully let and manage a range of property throughout the region on a variety of letting and management services.
We are regulated by RICS in respect of professional standards and the holding of money, governed by ARLA Propertymark (Association of Residential Letting Agents) and the industry Ombudsmen, and staff are trained to ARLA Propertymark Technical Award level.
Our aim is to develop long-term relationships and we always look forward to welcoming new clients.
