What decides the value of brownfield land near Ebbw Vale

Demolition

Removing buildings and old foundations is a significant cost on many sites.

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.

Flood risk

Many brownfield sites are near rivers and canals, so flood risk is checked early.

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.

From first call to completion

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    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.

Rules that apply in Wales

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Section 106 and CIL

Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.

Previously developed land

Welsh policy prefers reusing suitable previously developed land in sustainable locations before greenfield sites.

Common problems, and how we handle them

The buildings are being vandalised

A quick exchange can transfer risk and security responsibility sooner. We'll talk through timing.

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Ebbw Vale

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.

Do you buy contaminated land?

Yes. We investigate and price the remediation, so you don't need to clean the site first.

Do I need a contamination report before selling?

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

Do you buy land in Ebbw Vale?

Yes. We consider land in and around Ebbw Vale and across Gwent. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
