Sell a building plot in Stevenage
We buy building plots across Hertfordshire. In Stevenage, as everywhere, the offer depends on the land itself: its access, its planning prospects and what can sensibly be built.
A building plot is a piece of land big enough for one or a few homes, usually within or beside an existing street. Plots with planning permission can be sold quickly to a builder; plots without permission can be sold subject to planning.
- Free appraisal and written offer
- No commission: we're the buyer
- Independent advice encouraged

Land around Stevenage
The land we're most interested in near Stevenage sits on the edge of the built-up area or in the villages towards Hitchin (5 miles) and Letchworth Garden City (5 miles).
Most of the county is Metropolitan Green Belt, which makes land with genuine development prospects scarce and keenly contested.

What makes building plots near Stevenage worth an offer
- Plots with a road frontage or a private drive
- Plots with full or outline planning permission
- Corner plots and end-of-terrace side plots
- Plots that need a demolition first
Single plots are often overlooked by larger developers. We buy them because small sites matter and because our aim is to build on them.
What affects the price
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.
Local values
Plot values follow what a finished home would sell for locally.

What England's rules mean for your land
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 permission has lapsed
A new application is often straightforward if policy hasn't changed, and we can make that a condition of purchase.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Can you visit land near Stevenage?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
