What to know in Lincolnshire
Homes-for-land deals interest families in Lincolnshire who want a home for a relative close by. You provide the garden plot and receive a finished home on it, built to an agreed specification, with its own title and the paperwork a mortgage lender or future buyer would expect, including a structural warranty. The agreement fixes the specification and timetable, and what happens if either needs to change, so there are no surprises at handover.
Planning authorities covering Lincolnshire include Boston Borough Council, City of Lincoln Council, East Lindsey District Council, North East Lincolnshire Council, North Kesteven District Council, North Lincolnshire Council, South Holland District Council, South Kesteven District Council, West Lindsey District Council.
How it works
Free plot appraisal
We look at your title plan, access, neighbouring homes and the council’s planning policies, then talk through what might be built and whether a joint venture or a simpler sale suits you better.
Choose the structure
We explain the options side by side: a share of sale proceeds, a share of profit, a home back for your land, or a land payment plus a share. You choose what fits your plans and appetite for risk.
Heads of terms
The key terms go in writing: who funds what, your share or the home you receive, how your land is protected, deadlines, open-book reporting and what happens if planning is refused or the build stalls.
Development agreement
Your own solicitor and ours turn the heads of terms into a binding agreement. Your solicitor advises on the security that fits, such as the land staying in your name until a set stage or a legal charge.
Planning and build
We fund and manage the planning application, Building Regulations approval and construction, reporting costs and progress to you at agreed points. The council decides the application, and building control checks the work.
Sale or handover
The new homes are sold and the proceeds are split as agreed through the solicitors, or your new home is handed over with its warranty, title and certificates in place.
