Already confirmed
Search areaA1 & M1 corridor, across M62, all Yorkshire (incl. S63 Bolton upon Dearne)
Investor entitySingle investor — both sites same party
Market preferenceOpen to both off-market and formally listed / auctioned sites
Deal breakersNone confirmed — please flag anything during this process
e.g. up to £500k, £1m, open to offers subject to planning potential
02Do you have a minimum or preferred plot size in mind?
Please specify in acres or sq ft
03Is planning permission already a requirement, or are you open to land with potential?*
Does "no planning needed" mean you will apply yourself, or that the use is already established?
04For the training facility — is the government backing confirmed or still at application stage?
This affects how quickly the land needs to be ready and any planning use class required (D1/E class)
05Are you purchasing with cash, bridging finance, or development finance?*
06If a site has an existing industrial unit, is that a bonus or a complication?
07How important is motorway proximity — essential or preferred? Which junctions are ideal?
e.g. M1 J36–37, M62 J31–32
08Brownfield or Greenfield — do you have a preference?
Brownfield may carry remediation costs; Greenfield may face Green Belt restrictions in parts of Yorkshire
09What is your intended timeframe for this acquisition?*
10What type of road access does the site need to support?
e.g. HGV / articulated lorry access, wide turning circles, reinforced gating, multiple entry and exit points
11Maximum acceptable distance from a main A-road or motorway junction to the site entrance?
12Does the plot need to be located away from residential housing?
Machinery storage and HGV movements can cause noise and disturbance complaints — is a minimum buffer distance needed?
13Would you consider agricultural or farmland if it met your other criteria?
Farmland can be significantly cheaper per acre but typically requires a change of use planning application. It may sit in Green Belt or carry agricultural tie conditions.
14If farmland — does it need existing hard standing, or can you lay your own surface?
Bare agricultural land with no hard standing will need investment before machinery can be stored safely
15Are you aware if the land carries any restrictive covenants?
e.g. restrictions on use, building height, type of development, or commercial activity — these can block or delay intended use
16If a covenant is in place, would you like us to negotiate a lease option to secure the land while planning and legal matters are resolved?
A lease option protects your position without committing to full purchase — typically 12–36 months with agreed terms locked in
Site B Small Plots — Parcel Locker Sites (under £50k)
17How many parcel locker plots are you looking to acquire?*
18What minimum plot size is required for the locker units?
Typically 30–100 sqm depending on the number of locker bays
19Is there a specific parcel locker operator already contracted?
e.g. InPost, Amazon Hub, DHL — operators often have their own site criteria
20What road type is acceptable for the locker sites?
21Does the plot need direct kerb access from the road, or is shared / secondary access acceptable?
Users need to pull in quickly and safely — poor visibility splays can be a problem
22Is proximity to residential housing a positive or negative for the locker sites?
Unlike the large plot, parcel lockers often benefit from being close to housing
23Do the sites need a mains power / electricity connection?
24Freehold, leasehold, or licence — what is acceptable for these small plots?
Under £50k freehold near a main road in Yorkshire is rare — leasehold or licence is often more realistic
25Are you aware if any identified plots carry restrictive covenants?
e.g. restrictions on commercial structures, signage, or access — worth checking title early
26If a covenant is present on a small plot, would you like us to negotiate a lease option to hold the site while matters are clarified?
Avoids tying up capital while legal matters are resolved — and locks in your agreed price
Deal Process How We Work Together
27When a suitable deal is found, which process works best for you?*
Please select your preferred approach
28If Option A — what holding deposit are you comfortable putting down?
Typically refundable if the deal does not proceed — covers initial legal review costs
29Do you have a planning solicitor and / or a planning consultant already in place?
A planning solicitor handles contracts, covenants and title issues. A planning consultant advises on planning permission likelihood and submits applications to the council. For land without planning you may need both.
30Are you happy to confirm the sourcing fee and terms in writing before we begin sourcing?*
This protects both parties — you know exactly what is owed when a deal completes
31When would you prefer to pay the sourcing fee?
32Is there anything else we should know — any additional requirements, preferences, or deal-breakers not covered above?
