What affects the price
Demolition
Removing buildings and old foundations is a significant cost on many sites.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.
Flood risk
Many brownfield sites are near rivers and canals, so flood risk is checked early.
Viability
Councils may accept lower obligations where clean-up costs are high.

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
Section 106 and CIL
Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.
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.
When the land isn't straightforward
You're worried about contamination liability
Contracts can deal with who takes responsibility for contamination. Take advice from your solicitor on the wording.
The buildings are being vandalised
A quick exchange can transfer risk and security responsibility sooner. We'll talk through timing.
Useful to send us
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
Common questions
Do you buy contaminated land?
Yes. We investigate and price the remediation, so you don't need to clean the site first.
Will you buy a site with tenants?
Yes. We look at the leases and how and when vacant possession can be achieved.
What is a brownfield land register?
In England, councils keep a register of brownfield sites they consider suitable for housing. Being on it can help the planning case.
Do you buy land in Bexley?
Yes. We consider land in and around Bexley and across Greater London. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
