How We Calculate Our Offer

£2,000,000The total market value of all completed homes we could build on your land
Less: All Development Costs
£1,200,000Build costs, planning fees, utilities, infrastructure, legal fees, and selling costs
Less: Developer's Profit
£350,000Industry-standard profit margin (typically 15-20% of GDV) and finance costs
Our Offer For Your Land
£450,000The remaining amount – this is what we can pay you for your land
Why This Approach?
This residual method is the same approach used by professional developers across the UK. It ensures we offer you a fair price based on real market conditions and actual costs – not guesswork. We're completely transparent about every figure, so you understand exactly how we arrived at our offer.

Hi, I'm Ryan
I'm the person behind Sherwood Property Solutions — not a faceless corporation or a call centre. When you get in touch about your land, you'll be speaking directly to me.
I've been buying land and property across Nottingham and the East Midlands since 2014. I started in residential property and moved into land acquisition for development, so I understand both sides — what land is worth to a developer and what it means to you as a landowner.
I'll personally visit your site, explain exactly how I've calculated my offer, and give you a straightforward, honest answer. No sales team, no middlemen — just me.
