We offer a straightforward, confidential service for landowners who want to understand the true value of their land and explore selling options without the stress.
Whether your land has planning permission, development potential, or you’re simply unsure what it’s worth, Ballard Property Group provides a clear, honest appraisal based on real market and planning insight. We work directly with landowners of all types, including:
• Large gardens and corner plots
• Land with or without planning approval
• Sites with previous planning refusals
• Brownfield and commercial plots
• Off-market opportunities
Because we’re active developers as well as land brokers, we understand the process from both sides, allowing us to make fair offers, move quickly, and guide you through every step with clarity and transparency.
No agents, no unnecessary fees, just a simple and professional service designed around your needs. If you’re considering selling now or exploring future options, we’re here to provide a free appraisal and a confidential consultation.
We carry out a free, no-obligation assessment of your land. This includes planning history, access, local council policies, utilities, topography, and surrounding development. If your land has potential, we’ll explain exactly what type of scheme it could support and what the next steps would be.
Yes — we manage the full planning process from start to finish. This includes architects, surveys, planning consultants, environmental reports and application submissions. We cover the cost and take on the risk, so you pay nothing upfront.
We provide two valuations: Existing Use Value (what your land is worth today) Development Value (what it could be worth with planning permission) Our goal is to maximise your return by securing planning permission that increases the value before sale.
No. We operate on a fully risk-free basis for landowners. All planning costs, professional fees, legal documents and consultant work are paid by us. You only receive payment once a sale completes.
This depends on the council and the complexity of the site. A typical timeline: Initial assessment: 24–72 hours Legal agreement: 2–4 weeks Planning preparation: 4–12 weeks Council decision: 8–16 weeks We guide you through each step so you always know what to expect.
We take on the risk — not you. If planning is refused, we either amend and resubmit the application or step away with no cost to you. Your land remains yours exactly as it was.
We typically use: Option Agreements, or Promotion Agreements Both protect the landowner, cost nothing upfront, and ensure you benefit from any uplift in value. We’ll explain the options clearly and agree on the best structure for your situation.
In most cases, no. Many landowners continue farming, renting, or using their land as normal during the planning process. If any temporary access is required for surveys, we’ll arrange this with you in advance.
Yes, and we recommend using your own independent solicitor so you are fully protected. We also contribute towards your legal fees so the process is smooth and cost-free for you.
Selling on the open market often results in a price based only on current use. By working with us, you unlock the true value of your land through planning uplift — without the cost or risk. We offer a personal, transparent service, move quickly, and work directly with trusted investors and developers to maximise your return.
