Planning and legal points for land in Greater London

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.

Land registration

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

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

Do you cover the villages around Richmond?

Yes. Villages between Richmond, Isleworth and Hounslow often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.

How do I get an offer for land in Richmond?

Use the form on this page or call 0800 088 6248. Tell us the postcode, the rough size and anything you know about planning, and we'll come back to you.

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.

Can green belt land be sold?

Yes. Green belt land can be bought and sold like any other land. The designation affects what can be built on it, and so what it is worth.
