LAND, PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT

Land Acquisition — Option & Promotion Agreement

We'll take on the planning cost and risk of your site — you only sell if we succeed. Or keep full ownership and pay us a fixed fee. Three clear ways to work with us, explained below.

  • WE BUY + BUILD

    Option Agreement

    "We take on all the planning cost and risk. You only commit to sell to us if we succeed in getting permission — at an agreed, valued price. No planning, no sale, no cost to you."

    WHO PAYS / RISK

    Craftex pays all costs and buys at an agreed price once consent is secured.

  • PAID SERVICE — YOU KEEP 100%

    Fee Consultancy

    "For a fixed fee we assess your site, produce the appraisal and take the scheme through planning. You retain full ownership and 100% of the value we unlock."

    WHO PAYS / RISK

    You pay the fee; no land risk to us — and we're the natural contractor to build it.

  • WE CONSENT, THEN SELL & SHARE

    Promotion Agreement

    "We fund and manage the planning entirely at our risk. When permission is secured, the land is sold at its full enhanced value and we share the proceeds on pre-agreed terms — we only earn if you do."

    WHO PAYS / RISK

    Craftex funds and takes a pre-agreed share of the sale — typically 10–20%.

Which is right for you?

  • You'd sell — but only at the price planning permission unlocks

    OPTION AGREEMENT

  • You want to keep the site — and 100% of the value we unlock

    FEE CONSULTANCY

  • You want zero cost, a sale at full enhanced value, and a shared upside

    PROMOTION AGREEMENT

  • You're not sure what the site could even be worth yet

How an option agreement runs

We confirm the site has genuine potential.

Price basis and timescales fixed up front, with your solicitor.

Design, application and consultants — all at our cost and risk.

Permission granted — the uplift is now real, not hoped for.

You're paid the agreed price. If planning fails: no sale, no cost to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a land option agreement?
A legal agreement giving us the right to buy your land at an agreed, valued price once planning permission is secured. We carry every planning cost; you only sell if we succeed.
What share does a land promoter take?
Typically 10–20% of the sale proceeds once consent is secured, agreed up front. We'll always show the option and fee routes alongside it, so you can compare what you'd keep under each.
What happens if planning is refused?
Under an option or promotion agreement, nothing — the cost and the risk were ours. You keep the land, plus the appraisal and application work to inform whatever you do next.
