Sell a building plot in Deal
For owners of building plots in and around Deal, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.
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.

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 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.
Awkward details we deal with
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
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
Common questions
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.
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 you cover the villages around Deal?
Yes. Villages between Deal, Dover and Ramsgate often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
