The things that move our offer
Permission
A plot with full permission is worth the most because building can start once conditions are met.
Services
Connections to water, power and sewers can cost more than you'd expect.
Access
Visibility splays and parking need room on smaller plots.
Local values
Plot values follow what a finished home would sell for locally.

What Wales's rules mean for your land
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Section 106 and CIL
Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.
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 questions answered
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.
Do you buy land in Monmouth?
Yes. We consider land in and around Monmouth and across Gwent. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
