What affects the price

Permission

A plot with full permission is worth the most because building can start once conditions are met.

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.

Ways to sell this land

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.

From first call to completion

  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 Wales

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

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

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Photos of the land and its access

Questions from landowners near Caernarfon

How much is a building plot worth?

It depends mostly on what the finished home would sell for, minus building costs and a profit margin. We'll show you how our figure is reached.

Do you buy plots without planning permission?

Yes, usually subject to planning, so you're paid a price that reflects value with consent.

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.
