Sell a building plot in Peterborough
We buy building plots across Cambridgeshire. In Peterborough, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
If you've been trying to sell a plot to self-builders without success, a direct sale to a builder can be simpler and quicker.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- No pressure to decide

What we look for around Peterborough
- Plots with a road frontage or a private drive
- Unconsented plots in residential streets
- Plots where a previous permission has lapsed
- Corner plots and end-of-terrace side plots
Single plots are often overlooked by larger developers. We buy them because small sites matter and because our aim is to build on them.
How we arrive at a figure for land in Cambridgeshire
Permission
A plot with full permission is worth the most because building can start once conditions are met.
House size
The size and type of home the plot can take sets its value.
Local values
Plot values follow what a finished home would sell for locally.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

What England's rules mean for your land
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.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
Your questions answered
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 I need to clear the plot before selling?
No. We buy sites as they are.
