Is your land near Tewkesbury a good fit?
- Plots with a road frontage or a private drive
- Plots with full or outline planning permission
- Unconsented plots in residential streets
- Plots that need a demolition first
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.
The things that move our offer
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.
Self-build exemptions
Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

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

We put an offer in writing

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.
When the land isn't straightforward
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.

Common questions
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.
Do you cover the villages around Tewkesbury?
Yes. Villages between Tewkesbury, Bishops Cleeve and Cheltenham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
