Planning potential — but lenders won't play ball

Sell with planning potential. Cash for the unrealised GDV.

Your property has real conversion or change-of-use potential — office to residential, agricultural to residential, commercial to residential. High-street buyers won't credit the GDV uplift. We have development buyers who will.

6 development buyers. Average time to offer: 14 days.
⏱ Match in 14 days · Complete in 8-12 weeks

How it works for your situation

  1. You tell us the existing use and the change-of-use potential (with planning history if any).
  2. We match to development buyers who'll underwrite the GDV uplift.
  3. Completion in 8-12 weeks. The buyer takes on the planning risk.

What we'll need from you

  • The full address
  • Current use and the change-of-use potential
  • Planning history (applications, refusals, pre-app advice)

What we sidestep (and the standard alternatives)

  • Spending £5,000-10,000 on a planning application to satisfy a buyer
  • An estate agent who won't credit the development value
  • A mortgage buyer who'll fail at the valuation stage

Questions people in your situation ask

What if the change of use is just a possibility?

Buyers in this category actively underwrite 'potential' — they have planning consultants who'll do their own pre-app. You don't need planning permission in place.

How much of the GDV uplift will I see?

Typically 50-70% of the unrealised uplift, depending on the planning risk. We can give you a range before you commit.

What about the current tenant?

Most development buyers will take the property with the existing tenant. The discount is in the price, not the paperwork.

Seller Acknowledgement Agreement

PARTIES: This Agreement is between the Seller ("you") and Rapideal Marketplace Ltd ("Rapideal").

1. RAPIDEAL'S ROLE: Rapideal operates a property marketplace. We introduce buyers to sellers. We are not your solicitor, conveyancer, financial adviser, or valuer. We do not guarantee a transaction will complete.

2. YOUR PRICE: The asking price is set by you. Rapideal provides an indicative valuation estimate, but the asking price is yours to determine. You are not obligated to accept any offer.

3. SELLER FEES — NO SUCCESS FEE: Listing your property on Rapideal is free. There is no success fee, no introduction fee, and no charge deducted from your sale proceeds. Sellers receive the full agreed price.

4. PREMIUM UPGRADE (OPTIONAL): You may upgrade to the Premium tier (£149 + VAT one-time) for priority placement, professional photography, conveyancing referral, valuation referral, a live deal dashboard, and price-drop protection alerts. This is optional — the free tier gives you full access to the buyer network.

5. PRICE-DROP PROTECTION: If any buyer's offer falls more than 5% from their initial expression of interest to their instruction-stage offer, this is flagged in your deal dashboard. You are under no obligation to accept a reduced offer.

6. FREE EXIT GUARANTEE: You may withdraw your submission at any time before exchange of contracts — for any reason, with no charge, no penalty, and no obligation.

7. EXCLUSIVITY — 12 MONTHS: For 12 months from submission, Rapideal is your exclusive introduction agent via the Platform. If you complete a sale with a buyer first introduced by Rapideal during this period, no success fee applies — but the introductory relationship is acknowledged.

8. SOLICITOR: You will instruct your own independent solicitor to handle the sale. Rapideal may share your details with specialist partners relevant to your situation (e.g. conveyancers, surveyors).

9. ACCURACY: You confirm all information provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge and you have the legal authority to sell the Property.

10. GOVERNING LAW: This Agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Your indicative asking price: £To be set by you — you may change this at any time before accepting an offer.   ·   No success fee. No deduction from proceeds. Free exit guaranteed.
