Sell a building plot in Crewe

We buy building plots across Cheshire. In Crewe, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.

Whether your plot has full permission, outline consent or none at all, we'll look at what can realistically be built and make an offer to match.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • Figures explained, so you can check them
  • Independent advice encouraged

Land we're keen to see around Crewe

  • Plots with a road frontage or a private drive
  • Plots with full or outline planning permission
  • Plots where a previous permission has lapsed
  • Plots that need a demolition first

Single plots are often overlooked by larger developers. We buy them because small sites matter and because our aim is to build on them.

What affects the price

Neighbours

Overlooking and loss of light to neighbours limit what can be built.

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.

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

The permission has lapsed

A new application is often straightforward if policy hasn't changed, and we can make that a condition of purchase.

The plot shares a drive

Shared access needs the right legal rights. Your solicitor will check the deeds.

  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

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.
