Where Hanworth sits

Hanworth (TW13) sits in OS grid square TQ17, about 12 miles south-west of central London. Sites between here and Hampton or Sunbury-on-Thames are just as much of interest to us.

Land is scarce and mostly brownfield. The outer boroughs contain Metropolitan Green Belt and metropolitan open land, both closely protected.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Greater London

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.

Self-build exemptions

Some plots carry obligations or exemptions linked to self-build that we check.

How a sale works

  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

  • 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 Hanworth

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.

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.

Do you buy land in Hanworth?

Yes. We consider land in and around Hanworth and across Greater London. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
