7 acres - housing association want we think

[blackcat1]

Firstly hello to all. Any advice to on land values please, my sisters and i have a field on edge of village in south devon. We have a estate agent working on selling this plot for us, he has been in contact with dch our local housing association and they have visited the site briefly saying it should be ok. Firstly they want to pay 10,000 to hold the land for a few years whilst they carry out checks etc. Housing survey been conducted and it seems there is a need for affordable housing, the figure of 25 or 30 units was suggested by dch with a play park intergrated on the site. Does anybody know the percentage developers / landowners get or how they base a valuation figure for us, my sister once said it was 85% to 15% which is clear as mud to me. Is this best route to take or does the site have any real value as estate agent telling us to contact solicitors regarding avoiding capital gains tax, any help would be wonderful. Thanks in advance
Fiona
