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.

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.

What happens next

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We do the homework

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

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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

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

  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

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.

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 cover the villages around Hyde?

Yes. Villages between Hyde, Denton and Dukinfield often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
