Promoter's Share £0£0/unit
Your Net Land Value £0£0/unit
The promoter funds every cost of promotion from its own resources: the planning application, legal and professional fees, technical surveys, and the work of taking the land through the local plan. You pay nothing at any stage and carry on using the land exactly as you do now. The promoter is repaid only on a successful sale, so the entire financial risk rests with them, and if consent is refused those costs are theirs to absorb.
