Brownfield first
National policy gives substantial weight to reusing suitable brownfield land for homes. Councils keep brownfield land registers, and some sites can gain permission in principle.
Flood risk
Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.
Tax on the sale
The buyer pays Stamp Duty Land Tax. As the seller you may owe capital gains tax, and some commercial land carries VAT. Take advice from an accountant.

Questions from landowners near Milton Keynes
Do you buy land in Milton Keynes?
Yes. We consider land in and around Milton Keynes and across Buckinghamshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
Do you cover the villages around Milton Keynes?
Yes. Villages between Milton Keynes, Bletchley and Leighton Buzzard often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
Do you buy land without planning permission?

What is a rural exception site?
It is a small site, usually next to a village, where planning permission can be granted for affordable homes as an exception to normal policy, to meet a proven local need.
