Rules that apply in England
Flood risk
Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.

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

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 Crawley
Do you buy land in Crawley?
Yes. We consider land in and around Crawley and across West Sussex. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
Do you cover the villages around Crawley?
Yes. Villages between Crawley, Horley and Horsham 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 an infill plot?
A small gap in an otherwise built-up frontage, usually between two existing buildings, that a new home could fill.
