We buy cleared sites, derelict buildings and yards, and price in the clean-up so you don't have to deal with it first.
What affects the price
Contamination
Investigation and remediation costs come straight off the land value.
Existing use value
If the site has a viable current use, that sets the floor for an offer.
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
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.
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 Mid Glamorgan
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.
Flood risk
Natural Resources Wales flood maps and Technical Advice Note 15 guide where new homes can go. Phosphate limits in some river catchments have also affected new housing.

You're worried about contamination liability
Contracts can deal with who takes responsibility for contamination. Take advice from your solicitor on the wording.

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