The things that move our offer

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.

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.

What happens next

  1. Send us the address

  2. We check it properly

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

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Rules that apply in England

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.

Common problems, and how we handle them

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

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.

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 Kilburn?

Yes. We consider land in and around Kilburn 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.
