Many Baby boomers face one, or all, of these questions...
“The gardens too big, it's a tie, and we want more time for travel and family.”
“Our pension and savings aren't quite what we expected.”
“We want to help our kids onto the property ladder.”
Recent changes in planning attitudes make it more possible to achieve these objectives without having to sell the family home.
David can assess your chances of planning on your own land, or perhaps in conjunction with a neighbour.
After suitable research, he can meet you informally and at no initial cost, to discuss the various options open to you, including the legal inheritance and tax issues.
If suitable, Vida Estates will secure planning on your land, and buy at market value.
Alternatively we are retained by larger developers, to whom we can agree a fee free sale.
Frank and Elizabeth have a lovely house with a large garden that they didn’t really want to maintain any longer. Their retirement plans include more spontaneous travel, and more time on the golf course, so gardening wasn’t high on their agenda.
David agreed an option purchase of part of their back garden. His planning team secured a permission that met with the vendors approval.
As soon as planning was granted, Vida Estates bought the plot and built a new home in within 8 months.
Of critical importance to Frank and Elizabeth was the ‘new’ view they would have, and the opportunity to re landscape their smaller garden.
Vida Estates installed the new fence, and agreed a planting screen to maintain privacy.
