How we arrive at a figure for land in Devon
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.
Local values
Plot values follow what a finished home would sell for locally.

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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
What people ask us about building plots
Do you buy plots without planning permission?
Yes, usually subject to planning, so you're paid a price that reflects value with consent.
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.
Do I need to clear the plot before selling?
No. We buy sites as they are.
Do you cover the villages around Plymouth?
Yes. Villages between Plymouth, Plymstock and Saltash often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
