Rules that apply in England
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
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.

Selling land in Tyne and Wear: questions
Do you buy land in Tyne and Wear?
Yes. We buy land across Tyne and Wear, including around Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland and South Shields. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects.
Which planning rules apply to land in Tyne and Wear?
Land in England is assessed against the National Planning Policy Framework and the council's local plan.
Do you buy land on the Tyne and Wear border?
Yes. We also cover Northumberland, County Durham and North Yorkshire, so land close to the county boundary is fine.
How fast can I sell my land?
It depends on the land and the deal. A straightforward outright sale of registered land with no tenants can move as fast as the two solicitors can complete the legal work. Unregistered titles, tenancies, access questions and planning conditions all add time. We won't promise a completion date until we've seen the title.
