You can sell land to us with or without planning permission, depending on your circumstances and goals.

Here are five reasons to sell your land to us.
Best value for you
Naturally, when you enter into the process of selling your land to developers you want to get the best sale price.
Our team of specialists is highly experienced in determining the value of land and helping you secure the best value for your plot.
We work with a network of experts to identify the land’s value and always operate with integrity and honesty throughout the sale process. So, you feel confident throughout that we have your best interests at heart and that you’ll make a profit you’re happy with.
Planning permission specialists
Whether you need to obtain planning permission or change the type of planning consent you have, we can help.
At Collaborate Land, our team of planning experts is highly experienced in handling the planning process from start to finish on behalf of landowners and other organisations to get the best outcome for all involved.
We work closely with local authority planning officers and can either take the entire process (and even expense) of gaining planning permission off your hands or support you through it, depending on the type of agreement we come to.
Sustainability champions
For us, buying land and realising its development potential is about so much more than profit.
Like many of the landowners we deal with, we have a passion for the environment and really do care about getting things right rather than simply ticking a box.
The fact is, housing is desperately needed, but building residential developments doesn’t have to have a detrimental impact on the local ecosystem.
We believe sustainable and purpose-led development is the solution to the UK affordable housing crisis.
Project success rate
Often, land gets sold but sits untouched for years – or even indefinitely – for a variety of reasons. And while most landowners want the best price for their land, they generally have an interest in seeing the land put to the best use.
An abandoned site can be an eyesore or even pose a health or environmental hazard if fly tipping becomes commonplace.
Our sister company, Collaborate Living, has a proven success rate for seeing projects through to completion for the benefit of landowners, local communities, and the surrounding environment.
Unlocking the potential of land
A land sale is a delicate balance between getting the best sale price for you, the landowner, and unlocking the potential of the land.
Our team conducts a series of complex and thorough assessments to understand how a piece of land should best be used to benefit all stakeholders, from local residents to local wildlife, as well as avoiding any potential risks.
This means that, as a vendor, you have the reassurance your land will be used in the right way to make a positive contribution to individuals, communities, society as a whole and the environment too.
Plus, as we’re well-connected and have a good reputation in the property development industry, we’re able to assemble the right team of contractors and project partners to ensure developments run smoothly and meet deadlines.
