Planning Required?
Addis Homes have a comprehensive supply chain of planning professionals helping us to maximise your plot. We often find rivals ‘cheap’ the planning process, this strategy often ends with a flat-out refusal potentially ruining the chances of gaining an approval in the future. We on the other hand focus on bespoke up-front due diligence before taking the site into planning.
Planning is without doubt the riskiest part of the entire development process. For example, what are the tree constraints? Is the site within the future 1 in 100 yr. flood risk? Are there heritage or conservation issues? Is the site near SSSI? Will the site need a biodiversity report? How does the access and parking work from a highways perspective? Ultimately, the list goes on. Our vast experience in planning and the use of the very best consultants means before the site progresses into planning, we already have a high degree of confidence and knowledge of the site constraints. With this confidence, Addis Homes can warrant the instruction of leading architects and consultants to increase the probability of securing planning. This is a tactic rarely seen adopted by our competitors. To find out more about the planning process and how we can offer you the very best price for your land please get in touch today.
Planning already approved?
If you already have the benefit of planning in hand then Addis Homes will be eager to discuss your site in detail. We have an open book policy when it comes to valuing your site. The company is cash rich and will purchase any site upfront or work with the landowner to achieve an even better return through a Joint Venture.
Site Purchase
It may be the case that Addis Homes consider the site has not been fully maximised, if so, we can illustrate the extra value the land owner could gain through re-planning the site. Alternatively, if the site has been maximised, we are always ready to make a swift transaction.
Partnership
Providing we can demonstrate a significantly better return to the land owner than a straight forward site purchase, you may also be interested to hear how our partnership schemes work. If you want to find out more about our land partnership strategies, please get in touch with the form below.
Helping you to achieve the best price for your land or property
Addis Homes takes a long term view on development, this means our business model does not concentrate on short term options such as ‘flipping’ sites on. ‘Flipping’ a site is where the developer aims to profit out of the approved planning consent. To do this the developer will offer a fairly lack lustre price in order to make the most of the approved planning gain. The developer will then sell on the site to another developer/builder who aims to make profit from building out the proposed scheme which is long term and risky.
There are very few developers that work hard to achieve good planning schemes and then build out the scheme, as most prefer to make money quickly and move on. We believe this is unfair to the owner as usually the owner loses out financially and often the developer cannot sell on the site due to a lack of emphasis on planning, leaving an undesirable scheme for others to purchase. The subject to planning contract then expires and the owner is left with a devalued site. This is a typical outcome we unfortunately frequently hear about.
Planning Specialists
Recently Addis Homes achieved planning consent on a SSSI site which in the past had been automatically refused any planning applications for new dwellings. However, after a lot of work involving meetings with Natural England and local councillors Addis Homes managed to prove a large portion of the site was indeed outside the SSSI zone. This allowed us to gain planning for two stunning units and the owner benefited substantially from selling the land which previously was low value garden land. This potential plot had been known to many developers for years illustrating the time and effort we are prepared to put into each site to maximise the site value and overturn obstacles.
Why Should You Take the Risk?
Addis Homes covers all the legal and planning costs so the owner has no financial risk, we work closely and carefully with local authorities employing a team of outstanding architects and planning consultants to ensure a high success rate for a scheme that works.
