Questions from landowners near Swanley
Do you cover the villages around Swanley?
Yes. Villages between Swanley, Bexley and Dartford often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
How do I get an offer for land in Swanley?
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.
How much is a building plot worth?
It depends mostly on what the finished home would sell for, minus building costs and a profit margin. We'll show you how our figure is reached.
