What our clients say

“ The process of agreeing an option to sell is complex and time consuming and we had to overcome a number of
challenges along the way.

However, from the time we appointed Michael in 2011 until legal completion in 2016, we were impressed by his patience and determination to protect our best interests, providing reliable advice and an efficient service throughout.

Selling land is very different to selling a house, and I would strongly advise any landowner to take specialist advice. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael Granger and his team.”

An introduction to how we work for you

Why people come to us

Grangers Land & New Homes, formally known as Andrew Granger & Co. Land & New Homes, take a focused approach to selling land. The majority of our clients sell land to release equity in their property to secure long term financial security, perhaps to top-up pensions or to help the next generation onto the property ladder.

How we can offer you the best

We work with the best supporting professionals in the area, including town planners, architects, solicitors, civil engineers and quantity surveyors, to name but a few. The process is complex and often takes several years, with no absolute guarantee of success.

We will set out clearly the opportunities and challenges relating to your land and provide you with realistic expectations.

What makes us different

Unlike many estate agents, we only advise clients on planning and development. Our focused approach to land sales gives us a greater insight into the development industry, the challenges we are likely to face, and the experience to find solutions along the way.

We value the trust our clients place in us; in return, we simply strive to exceed their expectations.

New Homes

Understanding the value of new homes is an integral part of the service we provide. The price you receive for your land will be determined, in part by the quality of the housing scheme.

We will work with the appointed planning team and architects to agree the housing mix which reflects local planning policy, whilst delivering the best commercial return.

We provide developers with practical management support, including advice on housing mix, sale prices, market analysis, research of local supporting agents, recruitment, training and overall support and liaison between the on- and off-site sales teams.
