How we arrive at a figure for land in the West Midlands

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.

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.

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 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. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Planning and legal points for land in the West Midlands

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

Will you buy a site with tenants?

Yes. We look at the leases and how and when vacant possession can be achieved.

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.

Do I need a contamination report before selling?

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

Can you visit land near Bartley Green?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
