The things that move our offer

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.

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.

How a sale works

  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.

Rules that apply in Wales

Planning framework

Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.

Section 106 and CIL

Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.

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.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Deeside

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.

Can I sell a plot in my garden?

Yes. See our page on garden land, which covers the extra points to consider when splitting a garden.

What happens to any CIL on the plot?

Where CIL applies, it's usually paid by whoever builds. Some self-build exemptions exist, which we check.
