Sell with planning potential. Cash for the unrealised GDV. — in Edinburgh.
Your property has real conversion or change-of-use potential — office to residential, agricultural to residential, commercial to residential. High-street buyers won't credit the GDV uplift. We have development buyers who will. Specifically for Edinburgh and the surrounding Lothian area.
How it works in Edinburgh
- You tell us the existing use and the change-of-use potential (with planning history if any).
- We match to development buyers who'll underwrite the GDV uplift.
- Completion in 8-12 weeks. The buyer takes on the planning risk.
What we'll need from you
- The full address
- Current use and the change-of-use potential
- Planning history (applications, refusals, pre-app advice)
What we sidestep (and the standard alternatives)
- Spending £5,000-10,000 on a planning application to satisfy a buyer
- An estate agent who won't credit the development value
- A mortgage buyer who'll fail at the valuation stage
