Buying the right development site at the right time can potentially provide a substantial profit, even in these difficult times. A simple investigation can help you make the right decision and avoid expensive mistakes.
If you are considering buying a site, find out more about it first. Find out before you buy what the planning potential of a site is likely to be, what the planning history is and whether there are hidden dealbreakers such as archaeological matters. What are your chances of getting planning consent, and what can you reasonably expect to get planning approval for? Good advice early on will help you choose the right site, and maximise its potential.

PHD Associates can carry out an appraisal of a site before you need to commit yourself to paying for any drawings. A desktop study will be free of charge and will highlight any areas of concern where we will provide a brief written statement discussing what needs to be considered and allowed for. Then if you’re confident, a simple feasibility study drawing and possibly liaison with the local planning authority will help in an application to fund a purchase.

Receive a clear picture of how viable a prospective site could be and what you will need to proceed to a planning application, what information you will need, how much it will cost and what your chances of success are. Be confident before you buy! Ring us on 01279 817342 or request a ring back.
