With offices in both Hull and York, our team at Garness Jones has decades of experience advising landowners of residential and commercial land on securing the best possible deal from a sale.
Investors and developers are always looking for land to transform into profitable projects, and we use our expertise and contacts to ensure vendors receive the best possible offers, and achieve maximum value.
We have a track-record of helping people sell residential land, from pockets ideal for small housing developments or as a spot for individual retailers to sizeable areas of land suitable for hundreds of new homes and larger commercial projects. We represented a landowner to sell their bungalow and surrounding land in a growing urban village, using our contacts to attract a number of bids from interested parties, ultimately agreeing a deal with supermarket Lidl after going to ‘best offer’ on the site.
In another deal for residential land we supported three separate landowners in negotiations with developers which led to the sale of almost five hectares of land for housing, overcoming various complicating factors in the deal.
At any one time our team will be handling the sale of dozens of acres of commercial land, offering exciting opportunities for manufacturers, industrial companies and developers to purchase freehold development land.
Our team always ensures any potential hurdles are navigated, from valuation to legal, financial, and market complexities. Examples of our work in recent years include selling a 6.43 acres site at a former East Riding College in Beverley, and a four-acre garden nurseries site in Swanland.
We also handled the sale of 17 acres of commercial land and properties to Rainham Steel Company, securing a deal close to asking price for our client RMS Trent Ports Limited, as the site had become surplus to requirements for them.
As our team of Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) qualified experts have a huge network of contacts, we are always talking to investors and developers and making them aware of all land purchase opportunities, with many sales going to ‘best bids’, due to interest generated.
Our team can advise with regards to what type of development is likely to both secure planning permission, working with consultants to steer a smooth path through planning, consultation periods, going to market and sale.
Most importantly we will ensure an accurate valuation based on current market conditions, potential use, comparable sales in the area, and current demand for various types of development, such as residential, leisure, retail, care facilities and industrial.
