Frequently Asked Questions
Selling land or exploring its development potential can feel like a big decision. That's why we believe in being open, approachable and straightforward from the very beginning. Below are answers to some of the most common questions landowners ask us about the process, opportunities and what to expect when working with Owl Group.
How do I know if my land has development potential?
Our land team can carry out an initial assessment of your site, taking into account its location, planning context, access, surrounding development and local housing demand.
What types of land is Owl Group interested in?
We are interested in a range of opportunities, including greenfield land, brownfield sites, edge-of-settlement locations, strategic land and sites with or without planning permission across the Midlands.
Does my land need planning permission?
No. We are happy to consider land with full planning permission, outline consent, allocation within a Local Plan, or land that may have future development potential.
How much is my land worth?
Land value depends on a number of factors including location, planning status, site constraints, infrastructure requirements and the number of homes that could potentially be delivered. Our team can provide an initial appraisal.
What information should I provide when contacting Owl Group?
A site location plan, address, ownership details and any planning history are helpful. However, if you have limited information, our team can still advise on the next steps.
How quickly can Owl Group assess my site?
Following an initial enquiry, our land team aims to review opportunities promptly and provide feedback as quickly as possible.
Will I be dealing with decision-makers directly?
Yes. As a privately-owned housebuilder, our structure allows for direct communication and efficient decision-making throughout the acquisition process.
Do you work with land agents and planning consultants?
Absolutely. We work closely with land agents, planning consultants, promoters and other professional advisers to bring forward suitable development opportunities.
Why should I choose Owl Group over a national housebuilder?
As a privately-owned Midlands housebuilder, we pride ourselves on being approachable, responsive and able to make decisions quickly. Our focus is on building long-term relationships and delivering high-quality developments within local communities.
