Selling development sites can be complicated. We can help you navigate any issues, such as Section 75 agreements, 'abnormal costs', site servicing and planning issues.
Chalmers & Co has an extensive database of developers actively looking for development opportunities in East Lothian, Midlothian and the Borders. We are also retained to acquire development opportunities on behalf of developers.
Chalmers & Co is one of the only East Lothian-based firms of chartered surveyors with an Architectural Services department. This means that we can provide a full range of Architectural Services, including advice on planning consents, designs and the construction process. We also have a good range of local planning and construction contacts.
Our advice on marketing development opportunities includes:
- Advising on how best to add value to the development opportunity, bearing in mind current planning policy and guidance; and whether it is best to sell the site with planning permission, subject to planning, or based on an option.
- Selecting promotional teams for large commercial developments.
- Providing our comprehensive Chalmers Marketing Plan with an integrated sales and marketing strategy.
- Supplying regular Client Updates with feedback on viewings and the progress of the marketing campaign.
- Setting a closing date or negotiating a sale at an attractive price. We will negotiate heads of terms with the selected developer and liaise with solicitors.
