Rules that apply in England

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.

Land registration

Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Selling land in Devon: questions

Do you buy land in Devon?

Yes. We buy land across Devon, including around Plymouth, Exeter and Paignton. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects.

Which planning rules apply to land in Devon?

Land in England is assessed against the National Planning Policy Framework and the council's local plan.

Do you buy land on the Devon border?

Yes. We also cover Somerset, Cornwall and Bristol, so land close to the county boundary is fine.

How do you work out what my land is worth?

For land with development potential we estimate what the finished homes would sell for and deduct the costs of planning, building, finance, obligations and a profit margin. What's left is the land value. For land without a planning prospect, value is based on its current use.
