Sell brownfield land in Tottenham
We buy brownfield land across Greater London. In Tottenham, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
Brownfield land, or previously developed land, is land that has had a permanent building or structure on it, together with its surrounding hardstanding. National policy in both England and Wales encourages reusing suitable brownfield land for homes.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- No pressure to decide

Tottenham at a glance
Tottenham (N17) sits in OS grid square TQ39, some 7 miles north of central London. Sites between here and Edmonton or Walthamstow are just as much of interest to us.
Land is scarce and mostly brownfield. The outer boroughs contain Metropolitan Green Belt and metropolitan open land, both closely protected.

What affects the price
Brownfield register
Inclusion on the council's brownfield land register can support permission in principle.
Existing use value
If the site has a viable current use, that sets the floor for an offer.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.
Viability
Councils may accept lower obligations where clean-up costs are high.
Choosing how to sell
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.

Planning and legal points for land in Greater London
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.
Flood risk
Environment Agency flood maps and the sequential test steer new homes away from areas at highest risk of flooding.
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
- The address or postcode
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Questions from landowners near Tottenham
Do you buy contaminated land?
Yes. We investigate and price the remediation, so you don't need to clean the site first.
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.
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.
