Sell brownfield land in Brixton

We buy brownfield land across Greater London. In Brixton, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

Brownfield sites often carry baggage: contamination, old foundations, tricky neighbours. They're also some of the best places for new homes, and policy generally supports their reuse.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • Independent advice encouraged

Land we're keen to see around Brixton

  • Former workshops, depots and yards
  • Cleared sites with old hardstanding
  • Redundant commercial buildings in residential areas
  • Sites where previous schemes stalled

If your site has sat empty because it looks too complicated, we'll investigate the ground and planning position and give you a straight offer.

What affects the price

Contamination

Investigation and remediation costs come straight off the land value.

Brownfield register

Inclusion on the council's brownfield land register can support permission in principle.

Neighbouring uses

Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.

Viability

Councils may accept lower obligations where clean-up costs are high.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

We take on the site and its problems for an agreed price.

Subject-to-planning sale

We complete once permission is granted for a housing scheme.

Option agreements

Can suit larger brownfield sites with a longer planning route.

Joint ventures

Worth discussing if you want to share in the regeneration value.

From first call to completion

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

Flood risk

Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.

Awkward details we deal with

You're worried about contamination liability

Contracts can deal with who takes responsibility for contamination. Take advice from your solicitor on the wording.

A previous buyer pulled out after surveys

We'd like to see any reports. Problems can often be priced rather than walked away from.

Useful to send us

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Brixton

What counts as brownfield land?

Land that has been occupied by a permanent structure and its associated fixed surface infrastructure. Some exceptions apply, such as agricultural buildings and residential gardens in built-up areas.

Is it easier to get planning on brownfield land?

National policy in England and Wales gives weight to reusing suitable brownfield land, so the starting point is often positive. Each site is still judged on its merits.

Do I need a contamination report before selling?

No, though any reports you have will help us price more accurately.

Can you visit land near Brixton?

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.
