Sell land in Falmouth
We buy land across Cornwall. In Falmouth, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
From Falmouth, it's 8 miles to Truro and 9 miles to Redruth. We buy land across that whole stretch of Cornwall, not only within the town.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer

What England's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
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.

What people ask us about land
Can you visit land near Falmouth?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
Do you cover the villages around Falmouth?
Yes. Villages between Falmouth, Truro and Redruth often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
Should I get my own valuation?
Yes, we encourage it. An independent RICS surveyor or land agent can tell you whether our offer is fair. You're under no obligation to accept it.
Can I sell land without planning permission?
Yes. Land without consent is bought and sold every day. The question is whether you want a lower price now or a higher price later that depends on permission being granted.
