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.
