Rules that apply in England
Biodiversity net gain
Under the Environment Act 2021, most developments in England must deliver at least a 10% gain in biodiversity. Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected.
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.
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 Acton
Do you buy land in Acton?
Yes. We consider land in and around Acton and across Greater London. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
Can you visit land near Acton?
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 buy land without planning permission?
Yes. You can sell outright at a price that reflects the planning risk, or on a subject-to-planning or option basis that pays more if permission is granted.
Do you buy farmland with no development potential?
Our interest is mainly in land with some prospect of development. For pure farmland we may still make an offer, but a local land agent selling to farmers may achieve a better price, and we'll tell you if so.
