Working in partnership to
unlock long-term land value
Expert land promotion with no cost or risk to the landowner.
We offer a friendly, professional, partnership-led approach to land promotion, working closely with landowners and farmers to unlock the value of their land.
We take time to understand what matters most to you, whether that’s maximising financial return, securing future options for your family, or creating a lasting legacy. Through careful site assessment and clear advice, we identify the right strategy for your land and manage the entire process at no cost or risk to you.
Land promotion guides land through planning and the Local Development Plan process to increase its value. At Braidwater, we fund and manage the process on your behalf, working with trusted consultants and local authorities to position your land strongly. You remain the landowner throughout.
We promote land through the Local Development Plan (LDP) process to secure residential zoning.
For example, agricultural land can be promoted for future housing allocation by demonstrating its suitability and alignment with local planning objectives.
Residentially zoned land is typically worth significantly more than agricultural land, creating the opportunity for a substantial uplift in value.
Where land is already allocated for another use, such as industrial or employment land, we can promote it for residential development through the LDP process.
A successful re-zoning can unlock additional value by aligning the land with housing demand and wider planning policy.
We can also promote land through the planning system to secure:
– Outline Planning Permission, or
– Full Planning Permission
Securing planning consent can further enhance value and provide greater certainty for future sale or development.
These approaches can be used individually or in combination, depending on your objectives and the characteristics of the land.
We begin with a detailed, confidential review of your land, considering planning policy, technical constraints, and development potential.
If the site is suitable, we enter into a clear and fair Promotion Agreement which sets out objectives, timescales, and the agreed route forward.
All promotion work is carried out at no cost or risk to the landowner.
We manage the promotion process, including:
We appoint and manage trusted consultants, keeping you informed throughout. You can be as involved as you wish.
Once promotion objectives are achieved, the agreed disposal or development route is implemented.
The land is marketed and sold, with proceeds shared between the landowner and Braidwater in agreed proportions.
Braidwater may purchase the land at an agreed discount to market value, providing certainty and a straightforward exit.
Landowners can work alongside Braidwater’s experienced development team through a site-fine agreement, receiving an agreed share of sales from each completed home.
Braidwater is a family-owned business, built on values of transparency, integrity and professionalism. We believe land promotion works best when it is straightforward, transparent, and collaborative. Our team works closely with landowners, farmers, and their advisers to ensure everyone understands the process and feels confident at every stage.
