Sellers of strategically located UK land frequently impose this kind of conditions upon buyers. Without a buyer agreeing for such conditions, a price requested by a seller may become prohibitively expensive.

This condition is enforceable only when the land gains planning permission. It is not enforceable when the land is re-zoned or re-designated for residential development.

Even with this profit sharing condition, a potential profit for an investor, if the land gains a planning permission, is from 780%. Taking into account current values of a building land (GBP247/sq m) in the area (even without factoring in annual price appreciation of a building land), if the land gets a planning permission, an investor having invested maximum GBP14/sq. m would receive GBP 123/sq m AFTER paying 50% of profit to Wilcon Homes Midland Ltd.
