How we arrive at a figure for land in Bristol
House size
The size and type of home the plot can take sets its value.
Services
Connections to water, power and sewers can cost more than you'd expect.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

Rules that apply in England
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.
Awkward details we deal with
Self-builders keep pulling out
Self-builders often need mortgages and stage finance. A builder buying direct can remove that uncertainty.
The plot shares a drive
Shared access needs the right legal rights. Your solicitor will check the deeds.

Common questions
How much is a building plot worth?
It depends mostly on what the finished home would sell for, minus building costs and a profit margin. We'll show you how our figure is reached.
Do you buy plots without planning permission?
Yes, usually subject to planning, so you're paid a price that reflects value with consent.
Will you buy a plot with an old house on it?
Yes. Demolition and rebuild can work well, and we price in demolition costs.
Do you cover the villages around Bishopsworth?
Yes. Villages between Bishopsworth, Bristol and Kingswood often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
