Planning and legal points for land in Greater London

Green belt and grey belt

Green belt land is protected from inappropriate development. National policy in England also recognises 'grey belt': green belt land that doesn't strongly contribute to key green belt purposes, where housing can be acceptable if further tests are met.

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.

Common questions

Can you visit land near Wood Green?

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 Wood Green?

Yes. Villages between Wood Green, Muswell Hill and Tottenham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.

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.

What is a small site?

Usually a site for fewer than ten homes. Definitions vary, but these are the sites larger builders often pass over.
