Lower Stondon

The site was comprised of two adjacent parcels, each under different ownership. Individually the parcels were not large enough to be of interest to national housebuilders, however, the 14-acre combined site area met the common 100-unit threshold and increased to pool of potential buyers.

Optimis worked with both landowners to find the most suitable purchaser and the mechanism of sale that best suited the landowners’ requirements. Both parcels were sold subject to planning to a national housebuilder. Optimis continue to work on behalf of the landowners as the buyers obtain a planning consent.
