The things that move our offer

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.

Neighbouring uses

Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.

Viability

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

Subject-to-planning sale

We complete once permission is granted for a housing scheme.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

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.

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

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

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 cover the villages around Llandaff?

Yes. Villages between Llandaff, Whitchurch and Cardiff often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
