Companies like ours, specialising in land promotion, work directly with landowners to assess their sites, secure a viable planning consent, and subsequently sell them on the open market to housebuilders or developers.

Land promotion focuses on securing land for development rather than construction; promoters like us do not engage in building projects ourselves. Our role lies in facilitating a steady supply of land for housebuilders and commercial developers.

No, there are no costs to you. We cover all legal fees to establish a Planning and Promotion Agreement with us, as well as all expenses related to developing a residential or commercial scheme, including planning application fees and additional site investigation surveys needed to support the sales process.

If Gleneaston Land effectively secures planning permission as outlined in the Planning and Promotion Agreement, it earns a percentage of the net sales proceeds, a figure predetermined with the landowner at the beginning of the promotion process.

Land promoters facilitate the development of new homes or commercial projects, but we entrust the physical construction to the experts! Nonetheless, we maintain close collaboration with the housebuilder or developer after the site is sold to them.

The landowner could potentially gather and oversee the entire design team necessary for securing planning permission and manage the process independently. However, should planning permission not be granted, the invested funds would be forfeited.

By partnering with us, who possess the requisite experience and expertise for efficiently developing a high-value scheme and obtaining planning permission, the landowner may stand to gain more from the land sale compared to going solo. This is because the increased land value achieved by us may potentially surpass the commission paid to us at the point of sale.

Once the legal agreement between the landowner and Gleneaston Land is finalised, we engage a team of consultants to commence the technical due diligence. This process identifies constraints and explores potential opportunities for each specific site. Each site undergoes a tailored assessment, and we maintain ongoing consultation with our landowners throughout.

The ultimate design is a collaborative effort, drawing on input from our professional team, Gleneaston Land, and the landowner, as well as feedback from local planning authorities, other public entities, and the surrounding community.

Any agreement should be meticulously structured to optimise tax treatment for both parties involved. Given the significant financial implications, we strongly advise landowners to seek their own professional tax advice. Certain scenarios, such as when the land forms part of the primary residence, may qualify for exemption from Capital.

We can suggest an independent tax advisor specializing in such matters.

If you possess land or a site with convenient access to local services, it may be deemed to have development potential. However, numerous factors must be taken into account when evaluating potential development sites, including environmental, social, and transportation considerations.

Gleneaston Land conducts preliminary research to assess site suitability. We then provide you with these findings, with no obligation to proceed further if development is not the optimal choice for you..
