The things that move our offer

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.

Access

Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.

Local values

Plot values follow what a finished home would sell for locally.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

The usual route for plots with permission.

Subject-to-planning sale

We buy once permission is granted for an agreed scheme.

Option agreements

Rarely needed for single plots.

Joint ventures

Can suit owners who want to share in the home's sale price.

What happens next

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • 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.

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.
