Sell brownfield land in Nuneaton

We buy brownfield land across Warwickshire. In Nuneaton, 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.

  • Figures explained, so you can check them

  • Cleared sites with old hardstanding
  • Sites on the council's brownfield land register

What decides the value of brownfield land near Nuneaton

Contamination

Investigation and remediation costs come straight off the land value.

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.

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.

What happens next

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We check it properly

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

  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.

What England's rules mean for your land

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
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

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.
