Have planning consent? The hard work’s not over yet…
Obtaining planning consent can often be the toughest part of land sales. So no one wants to risk that time and effort only to be let down at the last minute. You deserve the best price, but finding a dependable buyer that’s ready to buy, and able to offer market value can be tricky without insider expertise. You could miss out on maximising the value of your land or accept a deal that’s doomed from the start. That’s where Searls Land can help.

The right sale is not always about the highest price
Land sales are complicated - even with planning permission. Buyer priorities can change from month to month so you need expert guidance to ensure your site gets noticed by the right buyers at the right time. At Searls Land we will negotiate the optimum terms for your specific needs – which isn’t always about price. For some landowners the speed of sale or the legacy they leave behind is just as important too. That’s why we identify buyers who will respect what matters to you and be capable of completing the sale to your agreed schedule.
Where terms are agreed, more than 98% of our sales and acquisitions complete – because we know who, how and when to place your proposition in front of the people who will offer best value – and be in a position to see it through.
